In short: Rosenstein & Söhne is a brand of small appliances and kitchen accessories sold by the distributor Pearl, and honestly there isn’t much more to say about it. At Raclette Club, you’ll find it with two festive appliances: an electric Tatar hat grill with a raclette for 6 and a chocolate fondue maker for 2.

Rosenstein & Söhne in a few lines
Despite a name that suggests an old family house (“Rosenstein and Sons”), we found no official brand history: no founding date, no founder, no factory. What can be verified is that it is sold by Pearl, on pearl.fr, which presents it as a brand “known for its wide range of small appliances and kitchen accessories.” In France, the site is run by Pearl Diffusion, in Sélestat (Bas-Rhin); the parent company, PEARL GmbH, is a German mail-order retailer based in Buggingen, in Baden-Württemberg.
The Rosenstein & Söhne catalog looks like that of a store brand: grills, cooktops, pasta machines, grinders, jars, cast-iron caquelons (fondue pots), knives and a host of small accessories. It’s therefore a brand to judge product by product rather than by reputation, hence this deliberately short page.

What we think
On paper, both appliances have the same charm: lots of uses for a reasonable footprint. The NX3214 Tatar hat combines a grilling dome, a broth channel and six raclette pans, with an adjustable thermostat and a 2-year warranty according to Pearl. The chocolate fondue maker makes chocolate fondue for two and its parts are dishwasher safe according to Pearl. Perfect for anyone who loves a long evening at the table.
The flip side is the lack of track record. With no brand history or identified after-sales network, you’re above all buying a Pearl product, and the listings leave some gray areas: a different weight depending on the source for the Tatar hat, a surprising power rating for such a small chocolate fondue maker, a review reporting a dome that doesn’t heat up. Nothing deal-breaking, but check the seller’s listing and keep your invoice.
Which model should you choose?
- For 6 with grilled food and broth: the NX3214 Tatar hat, compared with its competitors in our comparison of electric Savoyard hat grills.
- For a dessert for two: the electric chocolate fondue maker, to weigh against our comparison of chocolate fondue makers and our recipe for Chocolate raclette.
- For a classic raclette: the NX3214 also works as a raclette on its own, with our recipe for Traditional raclette.
