Overview
Mechanically the same Swissmar Classic eight-place raclette grill, finished in red. It carries 1200 watts, variable heat control, eight non-stick raclette dishes with eight heat-resistant spatulas and a reversible cast iron plate offering a grill face and a crepe face.
Color is the only real decision between this and the anthracite version, and it is not a trivial one for a machine that sits in the middle of a set table for the whole evening. Red reads as a piece of holiday tableware rather than kitchen equipment, which is why this finish tends to move as a gift.
- Red base, 8-person configuration
- Reversible cast iron plate included
- Variable heat control at 1200 watts
- 1-year limited warranty in US and Canada
Who it's for
For the same host as the black Classic, choosing on looks. If the unit will live in a garage or get used for casual weeknight cooking, the finish stops mattering and either version does.
Pros and cons
- Same 1200 watt Classic hardware in red
- Reversible cast iron grill and crepe faces
- Complete set of eight dishes and spatulas
- Plate usable in an oven or on a barbecue
- Cast iron plate is heavy and bulky to store
- Eight positions are tight on a normal table
- Requires the high-then-low warm-up routine
Performance notes
Everything that governs the result is in the plate and the dial. Bringing the cast iron up to full heat first and then reducing it gives a searing surface without pushing the cheese trays past melting into browning, and thin slicing does more for cooking speed than any heat setting. Seasoning the plate is optional but pays off in release, and the plate can be pulled off the base for oven or barbecue duty.

Frequently asked questions
Is the red Swissmar KF-77046 different from the black KF-77040?
Only in finish. Both are the 1200 watt Classic with a reversible cast iron plate, eight raclette dishes and eight spatulas.
How do you clean the raclette dishes on this Swissmar grill?
The small dishes are non-stick and owners report running them through the dishwasher. Use the supplied spatulas rather than metal utensils to protect the coating.
Can two people use an 8-person raclette grill?
Yes. Owners use it for couples as well as parties, though you are heating the full plate for two trays of food.
