German Raclette Party - German New Years Eve Food Traditions

[@vincentengland7927]

I went to a German friends for dinner tonight (New Years Eve) and we had Raclette for dinner. It was a completely new experience for me being English. It was wonderful, and then I came across your channel that explained it succinctly. A perfect end to a perfect evening, thank you Marta. Oh! by the way, for the first time in my life I subscribed to a channel. All best to you and yours, and I wish you success.

I did this in Germany many new years eve's ago, and then bought a Raclette grill because it was such fun! I love it.

[@hannahlash6148]

Thank you so much for showing how to use and the ingredients for Racklett. I will enjoy my Racklett tonight with my family happy new year

[@cooking-the-world]

Glad i could help. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year early :-). Great video

Thanks for watching! And happy New Year to you Claudia!:)

[@timc2346]

Interesting ,Looks delicious. Happy NewYear.Hopefully life return more to normal soon.

[@cooking-the-world]

Thanks! Yes, I hope so too. Until then we will just cook and eat 😀 That's not a bad plan actually. Hope you enjoyed your holiday and are ready to start New Year with lots of energy!

[@johndonohoe3778]

Great ideas Marta. Happy New Year.

[@cooking-the-world]

Thanks John!

[@sicut-lux-aurorae]

Thank you so much for this information. I have seen news stories about raclette, but I didn't realize it was a thing for home Christmas and New Year's Eve parties before your videos. And I certainly didn't realize the distinction between a German party and a Swiss party. Looking forward to trying this--especially the German adaptation.

[@cooking-the-world]

I am glad I could clarify those things for you :) Yes, we love our Reclette Partys at Christmas or NYE. I bet 80% Germans will celebrate the New Years Eve this way this year. I hope you also made delicious plans :) Thanks for watching.

[@donnakaymiller2532]

I live in the states and am of French/ German (Alsace and Freiburg) descent . I have not seen one of these since I was a little girl. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you!

[@cooking-the-world]

Oh Donna, I am glad that I could bring those memories back!:) Thanks for watching!

Danke! Und dir auch natürlich Frohes Neues :)

[@korinaviado3333]

How I wish that my family and friends are more inclined to try Raclette, they are definitely missing out 😂 hope you guys had a nice Christmas time. Happy new year Marta and Matias! You’ve gained another 2k+ subs since last week!! 😊 Announcement? I hope it included “weekly videos” still :)

[@cooking-the-world]

Hahahaha! Yes, I don't know where those 2k came from 😂 but I am thankful for them 🙃And yes, indoor grilling is so much fun, how anybody can say no to that... Christmas time was very enjoyable and relaxing, thanks for asking. Did you also have a good time?

[@korinaviado3333]

@@cooking-the-world I thank you for the 2k+ and for whoever will join the community on the daily basis 😊. I introduced Raclette to them but they like hotpot better 😂 Christmas was quiet and relaxed too :)

[@cooking-the-world]

Glad to hear. Oh well, hotpot is also nice tradition, but those are two different things, why wouldn't you just have both:)

[@korinaviado3333]

@@cooking-the-world I might have to buy a good-for-one Raclette grill then and let them drool with envy 😂

[@TracieSmithpomeranian]

Happy New Year!!!

[@cooking-the-world]

And to you too. Thanks for watching!:)

[@preedburr]

Im very glad u called it a german raclette XD

[@johannebrunner6477]

Thank you for another great post. My husband is Swiss and we made some changes to our racellette this year. I added additional foods - and like you said he wasn’t too happy about it but he isn’t the only person eating LOL I also love your idea of a dessert of pancake and chocolate!

[@cooking-the-world]

Hahahahaha 🤣 thanks Johanne, I couldn’t stop laughing after reading your comment. Yes, those things happen when you try to change somebodies tradition. Oh poor him 😅 I bet that wasn’t easy to watch you eating this way 😂

[@WilliamWeicht]

In Pennsylvania we have an old German tradition of eating sauerkraut and pork for New Years.

[@scottleidenberger4007]

I have done the same thing when we lived in Pennsylvania. I should start doing that again.

[@cooking-the-world]

That be another one, you are right! Hope you will keep it alive. Thanks for watching and happy New Year!

[@jimfrodsham7938]

That looks so delicious Marta, but very different to the "Sivester Fier" I know. We have Kartoffelsalat, bockwürst and Gerhkins with Berliner pfannkuchen to follow. I sent the link to my German family and the youngest Nichte (37) said they have that equipment and have raclette. I suppose I'm just old old and should slink away into the shadows and bide my peace. Happy Silvester Marta.

[@cooking-the-world]

Oh Jim, you are not too old to eat, trust me :) I am sure that you can find raclette anywhere in the world and enjoy indoor grilling.If you want you will make it work. And yes, it is very popular, I bet this year, 80% of Germans will be indoor grilling for NYE. But to be honest, I would also gladly have Bockwurst and Kartoffelsalat 😍

[@CookingWithThusha]

Thank you for the tasty dish Its German Raclette Party I love this way we can have lots of time with our friends and family

[@lisamika]

NIce video, thank you :D we gonna do Dutch raclette for Christmas in Sweden which is very unknown by me who I guess is the main chef for the evening :D

[@cooking-the-world]

Ooo Lisa, what is Dutch Raclette?😉 I am sure you will do just fine :)

[@judithblanchard6938]

Being of German decent I do so enjoy your posts and also your accent.God bless you in the new year!!

[@cooking-the-world]

Thanks Judith! I am glad you enjoy the content. I am aware that my english and the accent isnt perfect, but I am doing my best:) Happy new year!

[@teresacelmins3681]

Wow where would you get the little stone oven. I want to wish you and your family a happy new year. I made the cheese dip.

[@jameswilson4426]

Hi, have you ever discussed a recipe for Fastnacht? Frohes Neues Jahr to you both :)

[@cooking-the-world]

Thanks James! I actually filmed 2 videos about Carnival in Germany:) Frohes Neues!

[@Nicc1111]

Can I ask maybe a silly question? I’ve just bought this raclette grill. But if using chicken in the raclette pan should it be grilled first above or can it be included raw if small enough directly in the cheese pan? Thank you for the video and delicious suggestions. This is all new to me.

[@cooking-the-world]

Your are welcome :) we always grill raw meat above and then we transfer it with other ingredients to the cheese pan. This way you make sure that the meat is grilled exactly how you like it!

[@Nicc1111]

@ thank you so much! Greatly appreciated. I’m excited to try this out now. Great video.

[@scottleidenberger4007]

I have never seen a table top grill like that before, nice ! I will have to see if anything like that is sold here in America. Have a great New Year !

I wish they had these pans while I was in Germany many years ago. The cheese looks delicious!

You can buy raclette grills online. Amazon for example has them.

To make it even worse for any Swiss, none of my friends and I ever use Raclette cheese for Raclette. We mostly have Gouda :D

[@cooking-the-world]

Hahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂

[@didicrow9725]

But then it's not a Raclette. Raclette is only the name of the cheese. If i make Pizza on this grill, it's also not called raclette.

[@gregdubya1993]

@@didicrow9725 it's the cheese and the process.

[@stefanm.1434]

@@didicrow9725Raclette comes from the French word which means scraping. Then the cheese was named for this purpose. But you are right. Gouda is not good for Original Raclette. Maybe the Dutch version 😂

As a German that eats it every year it’s weird to see a guide for it 😂 but it’s good. It’s nice that everybody can do it there own style

[@cooking-the-world]

Oh there are almost 29.000 people interested in German food, trust me they need those videos

[@sheilaperena3726]

I found you about a month ago and have viewed most all of your videos. I grew up in Germany in my early years before returning to US. My family adored German food except sauerkraut. I’m the only one that can eat it out of a can. My husband spend time there in the Army. He has two adult children there and we visited in the fall of 2007. They usually come here. We were supposed to go last May but countries were closed. We are trying again this April. After watching your videos I believe my husband and I like the Bavarian style better. We will be in Hesse for 2 weeks and Essen for two weeks. Got any suggestions where to eat at. I like pork and he likes beef.

[@cooking-the-world]

hey Sheila, I filmed a video about what to eat in Frankfurt so you can check it out :) I am keeping my fingers crossed that you will manage to go to Germany this year!

[@itsMalma]

I recommend not using chicken on a raclette or keeping it far from the rest

[@casadimilano7048]

You do realise that you’re being racist when you say “Gypsy Pan!” Our correct name is Roma, not Gypsy, that’s what the Gago would call us, Gago is like a white man, the other people, not Roma. You! So please stop being racist! *update* I realise you’re not being racist. Some people are still racist towards the Roma people. I like the word “Gypsy”, I just don’t like how some people use that word, maybe I’m being too sensitive? I enjoy watching your videos.

[@cooking-the-world]

No. Sorry, that wasn’t my intend.
