RecipesPreparation and Planning Tips
Timing
When it’s planned and prepared in
advance, a raclette meal lets the host
participate in the meal and relax.
Cheese and vegetables can be pre-
sliced, and meat can be marinated,
pre-cooked, and cut up.
Marinating Tips
Chicken or beef can be marinated
overnight, however, fish should not be
marinated for more than a half hour.
Also, never use marinade as a finishing
sauce on food – it can contain harmful
bacteria. Food should never be mari-
nated in metal containers because
acidic ingredients can react with metal,
causing an unpleasant taste. Instead,
use plastic bags, or non-metal bowls
made of ceramic or glass.
Meat Safety Tips
Meat should be thawed in the refrigera-
tor, never at room temperature. Also,
meat can be sliced, marinated, and put
into serving bowls in advance, but until
you’re ready to grill, store meat in the
refrigerator.
