Our take
The idea fits in one sentence: one spatula and one board per guest. The 13.3 cm spatula scrapes the cheese without damaging the pan’s coating. The 10 x 8 cm board takes the scorching pan straight out of the grill, so it marks neither tablecloth nor table, according to the Amazon.fr listing. On the official photo, the board is engraved with a little cow and the words “Les Meuuuh !”, the name of the brand’s raclette range. Understated, apart from the cow.
One thing to know: the description on Little Balance’s website mentions “4 non-stick pans and 4 spatulas”, while its photos, its technical specs (board 100 x 80 mm, spatula 133 x 35 mm) and the Amazon.fr listing clearly describe boards. On paper, then, this is a set without pans: it completes a grill, it does not replace scratched pans. Nothing is said about the dishwasher either; with wood, washing by hand is simply the safe bet.
What we like
- One spatula and one board per guest, for four
- Natural wood, gentle on non-stick pans
- Boards to rest the hot pan without marking the table
- 2-year warranty logo on the official page
Things to consider
- No pans included
- Contradictory official description (it mentions pans)
- Wood species and care not stated
- For four only: double up for a big table

Who is it for?
For anyone hosting four with a pan-style raclette grill who is tired of scorch rings on the tablecloth. Also for completing a grill that came with plastic spatulas. If your pans are scratched, this set won’t save you: you need a set of pans. And for eight guests, you’ll need two boxes or a bigger set.
Alternatives
- Fackelmann 6 wooden spatulas: spatulas only, for a table of six.
- Kesper 8 acacia boards: eight small FSC-certified wooden boards, to rest eight pans.
- CÉCOA 4 pans + 4 spatulas: if it’s the pans that need replacing.

- Chocolate raclette, a sweet version to scrape gently with a wooden spatula.
