In short: the Graef SKS110 slicer (model S11000, grey version) is a 45 W electric all-purpose slicer with a 170 mm serrated stainless steel blade and a thickness setting from 0 to 20 mm. For raclette, it is the tool that turns a block of cheese into identical 3 to 4 mm slices, as long as you can find room for it: Graef does not describe it as foldable.

What we make of it
On paper, the SKS110 ticks every box of the classic family slicer. The motor is rated at 45 W in use with a peak cutting power of 170 W, according to the official Graef product page. The 170 mm blade is serrated and made of stainless steel, and the cutting length reaches 225 mm. Thickness goes from 0 to 20 mm, which comfortably covers the zone we care about: the 3 to 4 mm slice that fits in a raclette pan without spilling over.
In practice, for a raclette night, the logic is simple: set the thickness once, and every slice comes out the same. No more first slice as thick as a phone book and last slice as transparent as a campaign promise. A piece of common sense that applies to every slicer: cut the cheese well chilled, straight out of the fridge at the last minute. A semi-hard cheese like raclette slices more cleanly when it is cold, and it sticks less to the blade. The rind is a matter of taste: keep it in the pan or trim it off before slicing, your call.
Graef supplies the machine with a food holder, which keeps your fingers away from the blade as the block shrinks, a plastic tray and the user manual. It weighs 3.1 kg net. For the dimensions, the official page gives two sets of figures that do not quite match (see the table): count on roughly 35 x 24 x 26 cm. On the other hand, Graef’s product page says nothing about the dishwasher, the appliance’s warranty or the country of manufacture: for cleaning and safety, rely on the user manual. A black version (S11002) exists with the same specifications.

Who is it for?
For families and groups of friends who have raclette often, buy their cheese in a block rather than pre-sliced, and want an all-purpose slicer for the rest of the year. Who it isn’t for: if you have raclette once a winter and the cheese shop’s slices suit you fine, the purchase is hard to justify.
Alternatives
- Graef MYtiny: the brand’s foldable all-metal version, adjustable from 0 to 15 mm, around €280 on the official shop.
- Graef G50: Graef’s entry-level model, same 17 cm blade and same 0 to 20 mm setting, around €110.
- Westmark Rollschnitt 71002270: a manual roller cheese slicer with a stainless steel wire, for those who don’t want a motor.
- Louis Tellier N3503: a cheese harp, the simplest way to portion a block.
