Klarstein GQ6-Fonduelette XL review

Fonduelette XL: raclette, grill and fondue in one, for up to twelve people, at 1,650 W across three separate stainless heating elements. Three interchangeable tops — metal, natural stone and a crêpe plate — twelve raclette pans, and a lid that holds the fondue forks upright.

The net of it The one built for a crowd. Twelve pans, three separate heating elements and a fondue in the same appliance is a different proposition from a raclette grill with a fondue pot balanced on it — separate elements mean cheese, meat and crêpes each get their own heat. The lid that holds the forks upright is the detail that gives it away as designed by someone who has hosted a fondue. What is missing is any temperature figure at all.

Twelve seats

Half again the largest of the other three here, and the reason to choose this model: twelve pans and 1,650 W.

Three elements, not one

The specification that separates this from a raclette grill with a fondue accessory: three separate stainless heating elements. Cheese under the grill, meat on the stone and crêpes on their own plate each get their own heat rather than sharing one.

Three tops

A metal plate, a natural stone, and a crêpe plate. Stone is the durable one — no coating to lose — and the crêpe plate is what makes this appliance work at breakfast as well as at dinner.

Three tops also means three things to find cupboard space for.

Two details that give it away

A lid that holds the fondue forks upright so they do not sink, and color-marked skewers so people can find their own. Neither appears on a specification comparison, and both come from having hosted a fondue.

What is not published

No temperature range, no control type, and no dimensions. On a twelve-seat appliance, the footprint is the figure a host most needs — a table that seats twelve still has to hold this in the middle of it.

The plus side, and the minus

Strengths

  • Twelve seats — half again the largest of the others here
  • Three separate stainless heating elements, rather than one shared
  • Three interchangeable tops: metal, natural stone and a crêpe plate
  • A lid that keeps the fondue forks upright, and color-marked skewers

Compromises

  • A twelve-seat appliance needs a twelve-seat table, and no dimensions are published
  • No temperature range or control type published
  • No offer on Amazon UK or Amazon US at the time of writing
  • Three tops mean three things to store

What readers want to know

Do the three plates run at once?

Klarstein publishes three separate stainless heating elements and describes cheese, vegetables, meat and fish cooking on the three grill surfaces at the same time. Separate elements are what make that possible rather than a single element shared between tops.

What is the lid for?

Klarstein states it holds the fondue forks in position and stops them sinking into the pot. It is the sort of detail that only appears on an appliance designed by someone who has had to fish a fork out of hot cheese.

Our score

7.8/ 10

The one built for a crowd. Twelve pans, three separate heating elements and a fondue in the same appliance is a different proposition from a raclette grill with a fondue pot balanced on it — separate elements mean cheese, meat and crêpes each get their own heat. The lid that holds the forks upright is the detail that gives it away as designed by someone who has hosted a fondue. What is missing is any temperature figure at all.
