Our takeaway on the Emerio Pizzarette
On paper, the Pizzarette is the ideal Trojan horse for converting to raclette those who swear they don’t like melted cheese. You start with the mini pizzas: everyone rolls out their dough, picks their toppings and slides their spatula under the terracotta dome, which keeps the heat on top. Boulanger states about 5 minutes of heating up and 15 minutes of cooking. Meanwhile, the 6 raclette pans heat up around the edge and the grill plate takes a few vegetables. Three evenings in one, and nobody fights over the remote anymore.
The limits are clear: no thermostat, it’s all or nothing, and a German tester notes heat that isn’t quite even. Sources also contradict each other on power, 1500 W at two retailers, 1200 W on the Amazon listing according to a search result, and on dimensions. Nothing goes in the dishwasher according to one retailer, so get the sponge ready. For a family that wants fun more than high precision, it still makes sense.

Who is it for?
For families with kids and nights with friends where you want everyone to get their hands in the dough, literally. For those who like to alternate pizza and raclette in the same evening. On the other hand, if you mainly want a raclette for eight or real control over the heat, a classic raclette machine with a thermostat will be a better fit. And if washing dishes by hand makes you run away, look closely at the care instructions.
