Raclette is actually not a problem. With fondue, however, you should be very careful with the fat variant when using vegetables. The water in the vegetables can cause the fat to splatter a lot. We are constantly reminded of this by a grease stain on the ceiling above the dining table :)

Then your ceilings must be very low. :D But the splashing fat was probably not meant here either.

Strange only that surely very few would come up with the idea of placing an electric or gas grill on the dining table to bring the summer grilling feeling into the house. But for that, there is obviously [Raclette] ...

2.50m. So neither low nor high. But normal.

Nobody is talking about wanting to install a vent for a raclette :) As I have already learned here, some people are bothered by crumbs in the spice rack or knife block and instead have a spice drawer and knives on a magnetic strip. Possible grease deposits/precipitates on a spice rack near the cooktop have also been mentioned ...

Your question actually has nothing to do with whether you live in a new build or not. Of course, raclette produces odors or grease mist depending on how it is used. For us, rather odors and hardly any grease mist, because we don’t grill on it. Raclette is a cheese dish, not a meat platter with a bit of cheese. But everyone does it differently. One can imagine that the ventilation system counteracts that a bit. What really works well is to open the sliding door and the front door nicely once after eating to air things out.

It’s just strange that surely very few would think of putting an electric or gas grill on the dining table to bring the summer grilling feeling indoors. But apparently, there is raclette for that ...

Because electric grilling is dumb anyway and the grill on the terrace doesn’t suddenly break in winter ;-)

No :)

But that does not help against grease that has already settled—provided there actually is a significant amount of it contained in the steam.

Small note: it’s not about whether it bothers me, but that I have once again had to experience very controversial opinions regarding this.

Because electric grilling is lame anyway

Absolutely! :)

But raclette is also a kind of electric grilling.
