What we take away
First, the name. According to the ambassadors page of the Raclette World Championships (Région Dents du Midi), Eddy Baillifard is a Valais man nicknamed the “Pope of Raclette” who runs the Raclett’House; his grandfather was the first cheesemaker in Bruson, in the Val de Bagnes, and he has taken raclette to the 2015 Milan World Expo, Euro 2016 in Paris and the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. Our notes from the TTM page do not say what he contributed to the melter, so we will stick to what the machine does.
Its smartest trick is a lever that swings the burner through 180°. During a lull in service, the flame stops heating the cheese, so it neither dries out nor drips onto nothing. Anyone who has scraped behind a stall knows the value of a half wheel that waits without crusting while you take payment. Otherwise, it has the TTM basics: a tilting “combi” holder for a round or square half wheel, height set by a threaded rod, and 2000 to 2550 W on gas according to the manufacturer.
At 6.85 kg it is lighter than the Easy Gaz from the same maker, and it comes apart to fit in a compact box. Safety: TTM presents it as designed for outdoor use, and the hose and regulator are sold separately; choose them according to the instructions and your cylinder, and never take it indoors. At the end of service, take it apart, clean the base and the cheese holder, and everything goes back into the box.
Strengths
- 180° swing burner: the cheese rests during breaks
- 6.85 kg, takes apart, compact storage
- “Combi” holder for a round or square half wheel
- No electricity needed, made in Switzerland
- Cheaper than the Easy Gaz on the TTM shop
Things to consider
- Designed for outdoor use (TTM): never indoors
- Hose and regulator cost extra
- Single half wheel: limited output
- Eddy Baillifard’s role in the design not detailed by our sources
- Mostly sold in Switzerland; not on Amazon.fr as of 09/11/2026
Who is it for?
For village fêtes, pop-up terraces, alpine pastures and small outdoor stalls where service comes in waves: that is where the swing burner earns its keep. For a winter stall, our guide to Christmas market raclette helps you organise the queue. Not for a restaurant dining room, since it is designed for outdoor use, nor for big-event volumes, where two half wheels are a must.
On availability, frankly: TTM sells mainly in Switzerland (ttmsa.ch, Galaxus, Digitec). On Amazon, TTM models were missing or “currently unavailable” when we checked; the button runs a search.
Alternatives
- TTM Easy Gaz: TTM’s other half-wheel gas melter, supplied with a backpack and insulated case, 8 kg, outdoor use only.
- TTM Brio Gas: two half wheels on gas, 2600 to 3400 W according to TTM, for high outdoor output.
- TTM Raclette Ambiance: the maker’s electric option, for indoor scraping.
- Louis Tellier Alpage RACL01: an electric half-wheel melter from a French brand.
