Something about raclette cooking reminds me of the Cold War. Hanging out in the bomb shelter watching Moose and Squirrel and Boris and Natasha on TV. One step forward, two steps back, waitin' in the shelter for the counterattack. This is simple if you have a raclette maker which enjoyed a brief Cold War revival in food catalogs not so long ago. What is kind of cool about it is that your guests cook their own apps while you check for incoming bomb blasts and ambient radioactive particles.
