In short: the Rosenstein & Söhne NX3214 is aimed at tables of six who want to do it all with a single appliance: grill on the dome, cook in the broth and melt raclette underneath. What we take away: 1500 W, continuously adjustable temperature and six pans, sold under the name Tartar hat.

What we take away from the Rosenstein & Söhne NX3214
On paper, the NX3214 ticks every box of the no-fuss Savoyard dinner: a dome for searing strips of beef or duck, a channel where the broth simmers for the vegetables, and six raclette pans slid under the base. It’s the kind of appliance that turns a simple cheese night into an interactive buffet, where everyone keeps an eye on their meat, their mushrooms and their slice of raclette all at once. The 1500 W and the continuous temperature control, according to the distributor Pearl’s product page, leave room to adjust depending on what you’re cooking.
Still, keep a cool head. The two product pages disagree on the weight, dishwasher care isn’t specified and, according to reviews, at least one buyer reports a hat that didn’t heat while the raclette part worked. Nothing alarming in itself, but a good reason to test the appliance as soon as it arrives, well before the big night. And as with any Savoyard hat, the ridged dome takes a bit of patience at the sink: caramelized broth is delicious, except at 11 p.m. in front of the sink.

Who is it for?
For families and groups of six who love meals that go on and on, with a bit of meat, lots of vegetables and cheese to finish. For anyone who wants to discover the Savoyard hat without giving up raclette. On the other hand, if there are only two of you, if you only like cheese, or if washing a ridged dome gives you cold sweats, a classic raclette grill will do the job better.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Rosenstein & Söhne NX3214 have a thermostat?
Yes. According to the distributor Pearl’s product page, the temperature is adjusted continuously with a dial on the base, with an LED indicator.
How many people can it serve?
Six: the appliance comes with 6 raclette pans, and the dome lets you grill and cook in the broth for the same table.
Can you do a Chinese-style fondue with it?
The dome is surrounded by a channel designed for juices or broth, according to the Pearl product page. You can cook vegetables and thin slices of meat in it, like a Chinese fondue, but it is not a deep fondue pot.
