Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Melted Pot," a popular food stall at the Manchester Christmas Markets, needed to upgrade their cheese tools. Their old setup was slow and resulted in inconsistent portions, causing queues to build up during peak hours.
"We switched to the Louis Tellier raclette knife halfway through the season, and the difference was night and day. It glides through the cheese and the toothed edge handles the rind perfectly. It's sturdy, feels professional, and has made our operation so much smoother."
David Chen – Owner
After adopting the GP968 cheese slicer, the stall measured a consistent 15% increase in portions served per hour, significantly boosting their daily takings.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Inspect on Arrival: Before first use, give it a quick check over to ensure it's arrived in perfect condition.
- Initial Clean: Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and dry completely.
- Know Your Blade: Familiarise yourself with the smooth scraping side and the micro-toothed cutting side.
Keeping It Going
- Hand-Wash Only: To protect the wooden handle, never put this knife in a commercial dishwasher.
- Dry Immediately: Don't leave it to air dry. Towel-dry the blade and handle to prevent water spots and protect the wood.
- Handle Care: Occasionally rub a food-safe mineral oil into the wooden handle to keep it from drying out.
- Store Safely: Keep it in a knife block or drawer insert to protect the blade's sharp edges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this knife dishwasher safe?
A: No. Due to the natural wooden handle, this knife is strictly hand-wash only to ensure its longevity and prevent the wood from splitting or warping.
Q: What is the main advantage of the dual-sided blade?
A: It allows you to both scrape the soft, melted cheese (smooth side) and cut the tougher rind (micro-toothed side) with a single, efficient tool.
Q: Can I use this knife for cutting blocks of hard cheese like cheddar?
A: While the toothed edge could handle some cheeses, it's specifically designed for serving melted raclette. We recommend dedicated hard cheese knives for other tasks.
Q: What is the blade made from?
A: The blade is made from high-quality stainless steel, which is durable, resistant to rust, and easy to clean.
Q: Is the handle comfortable for long periods of use?
A: Yes, it features an ergonomic wooden handle designed to provide a comfortable and secure grip during busy service periods.
Q: Is this a commercial-grade tool?
A: Absolutely. The Louis Tellier raclette knife is built for the demands of a professional kitchen, restaurant, or catering environment.
Q: How heavy is the knife?
A: It's very lightweight, weighing only 0.13kg, making it easy to handle and control with precision.
Q: Does the 'micro-toothed' edge need sharpening?
A: The micro-teeth are designed for a long life of cutting through cheese rind and should not require regular sharpening. The smooth edge can be honed if needed.
The Tellier Touch: A Tradition of French Culinary Excellence
When you choose a Louis Tellier tool, you're investing in more than just a piece of equipment; you're buying into a legacy of French culinary innovation that dates back to 1947. This is a brand built by professionals, for professionals. The focus has always been on creating smart, durable, and efficient tools that solve real-world kitchen problems. The Louis Tellier raclette knife is a perfect example of this philosophy. It's not over-engineered or flashy; it's simply the most effective design for the job. This commitment to quality means fewer replacements, more consistent results for your customers, and a tool that feels right in the hand, service after service. It's the kind of reliability that allows chefs and operators to focus on their craft, confident that their equipment won't let them down.

Ever tried to scrape melted cheese with a regular knife? You get a messy result. And cutting the crispy rind can be a struggle. The Louis Tellier raclette knife solves both problems with one clever blade. Think of it like having the perfect spatula and a sharp serrated knife fused into a single, efficient tool. The long, flat, smooth edge is angled perfectly to get underneath the gooey, melted cheese and lift it away in a clean, generous portion. Then, a quick flip or a change of angle engages the micro-toothed side, which zips through the tougher, caramelised rind without any effort. It’s a simple bit of engineering that completely streamlines the job, meaning less time serving and more time selling.
