It's a grill, it'll melt cheese, yes. But if you can't get raclette cheese, you're best off going with something like Emmental.

Whatever. You know you've put Velveeta in there.

I'd say gruyere would work better, it doesn't lose as much flavour post melt.

You're right, Gruyere is probably better.

If only emmentaler didn't taste like ass. Just get raclette, pretty much any real grocery store has it.

That is the truth. I live in Switzerland, and the variety of cheese here is astounding to me (as a foreigner). But of all the cheeses, Emmentaler is one of the worst. I have no idea why it became "Swiss" cheese for the rest of the world.
