The 11 commandments for scrapers
By Eddy Baillifard

- Choose a good Valais or Alpine PDO Raclette cheese that has matured for at least 4-5 months (why not a marc-aged cheese with a good smell of raw cow's or goat's milk cheese). All the best cheeses can be found in the Misterraclette store.
- You prepare the cheese by scraping off the morge (not the rind) with the back of your knife, or by brushing it after soaking it for twenty minutes in water at 35 degrees. Don't forget to put on your raclette apron.
- Cut the cheese into two equal parts, making sure that the cut is clean and straight.
- Choose a good-quality oven (wood-burning, gas or electric resistance, small oven).
- Choose a good, sharp knife for cutting the nuns.
- Place only one half-wheel under the oven, even if it can accommodate two (lateral heat could damage the second). e)
- Respect the distance between the heater and the cheese, i.e. 2-3 cm for an electric heater and 3-4 cm for a gaz oven.
- Scrape from top to bottom, tilting the half-piece at 45°. C. Be careful not to press the knife too hard, and keep your wrist supple. Don't forget the potatoes, gherkins and onions. The choice of spices is pepper only.
- Don't let yourself be distracted, and keep the cheese away from the heat source when you take a break.
- You'll hydrate regularly with a good glass of wine. Fendant valaisan is usually de rigueur or why not a humagn Tip from the scraper and a tip from the connoisseur
- A good scraper will scrape all the way to the end of the cheese. When he has finished, the heel should be no thicker than the slice of his hand. There should be hardly any cheese left, and there should be no cheese at all.
