CIRCLE combines the tradition of raclette with the fascination of real fire, transforming the popular classic into a completely new experience.
Powered by bioethanol, the multifunctional tabletop raclette combines grilling, gratinating and sharing good food in one continuous experience. Its distinctive round shape turns CIRCLE into a sociable 360° experience where everyone cooks and enjoys together, with the fire at the centre.
Up to nine raclette pans fit underneath the solid cast-iron plancha – perfect for classic melted cheese dishes as well as creative raclette ideas. At the same time, the plancha above delivers a real-fire grilling experience. High temperatures and different temperature zones allow you to sear meat while gently grilling fish, vegetables or sweet desserts. This means complete menus can be prepared simultaneously, right at the table.
CIRCLE works entirely without electricity or charcoal, using clean, odourless, soot-free and smoke-free bioethanol instead. This means you can use it indoors or outdoors and get started straight away, without lengthy preheating. Six flames ensure even heat distribution across the entire grilling area, the flame height can be continuously adjusted and the integrated flame extinguisher ensures safe extinguishing.
But CIRCLE goes far beyond the raclette season. As a fully fledged tabletop grill, it can be flexibly expanded with a wide range of accessories. This transforms a seasonal classic into a long-lasting companion for the entire year – high-quality, uncomplicated and made for sharing culinary moments over real fire.

Was ich an CIRCLE besonders mag, ist wie unkompliziert und vielseitig gemeinsames Kochen plötzlich wird. Draußen auf der Terrasse genauso wie drinnen am Tisch. Die Plancha ist extrem schnell auf Temperatur und während dort mit hoher Hitze gearbeitet wird, kann jeder in den kleinen Pfännchen sein eigenes Ding machen – hier schmort Gemüse und Fisch gart glasig, dort wird etwas überbacken oder warmgehalten. Und nach dem Essen ist alles genauso schnell wieder sauber.

Mit CIRCLE können wir außergewöhnliche Abende für unsere Gäste gestalten. Wir haben bei jedem Gang die Möglichkeit, den Gast interaktiv einzubinden. Besonders dabei ist, dass wir auf unterschiedliche Zubereitungsarten zurückgreifen können, damit es nicht eintönig wird. Das geht vom scharfen Angrillen auf der Plancha für ein Tataki, welches wir mit Kartoffelwaffel, roten Zwiebeln, Holunderkapern & Sauerrahmeis servieren, dem Zubereiten unseres lauwarm, ganz sanft gegartem Saiblings mit Alblinsen, Meerrettichmayo. eingelegtem Rettich & Bodenseesalat, bei dem unsere Gäste den Saibling einfach in den Pfännchen auf den marinierte Linsen garen lassen & zum Schluss unseres Bergkäsetoasts, der nach dem Braten auf der Plancha in den Pfännchen ziehen muss, bis der Käse geschmolzen ist. Das schafft eine besondere Verbindung zwischen unseren Gästen und unserer Küche, bei der wir unseren Gästen unsere Philosophie näher bringen können.

Ich war ehrlich überrascht, wie viel Hitze CIRCLE auf die Plancha bringt. Die Röstaromen sind richtig stark und gleichzeitig lässt sich die Temperatur super fein über das Drehrad regulieren. Genau diese Mischung aus Feuer und Kontrolle macht beim professionellen Kochen einfach Spaß.

Kein Kabel, keine Gaskartusche und trotzdem echtes Feuer mitten auf dem Tisch – genau das liebe ich an CIRCLE. Ich kann ihn einfach überall mit hinnehmen und mein Kopf sprudelt sofort voller Ideen für neue Gerichte und Abende mit Freunden. Das Beste daran: Durch das 360°-Erlebnis wird jeder am Tisch irgendwie selbst zum kleinen Koch und plötzlich entsteht ein gemeinsames Erlebnis.
A grilling experience that sets new standards
Two levels for grilling & cooking
Grill and sear on the plancha while cheese melts, ingredients cook or food stays warm in the pans below. This allows you to prepare different dishes at the same time – so everyone at the table can enjoy exactly what they fancy.
Real fire & full control
CIRCLE brings real fire and gives you full control over it. The flame height can be adjusted continuously using the control dial, allowing you to regulate the heat precisely, while the fire can be safely extinguished at any time with the included flame snuffer. At full flame height, the centre of the plancha reaches up to 300 °C, while the outer ring reaches up to 200 °C.
Grilling enjoyment without electricity or gas
CIRCLE requires no electricity or gas and can be taken anywhere thanks to clean bioethanol. Thanks to its compact design, CIRCLE fits even on the smallest table, and its round shape makes it a true 360° grilling experience: with this tabletop grill, you can grill, turn and enjoy from all sides at the same time. The result is special moments of enjoyment that are made to be shared.
Safe and clean for indoors and outdoors
With höfats bioethanol, CIRCLE burns cleanly, without soot or smoke, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The integrated safety closure allows for safe refilling of the burner and ensures easy handling with maximum safety. For carefree moments of enjoyment wherever you like.

What top chefs say about CIRCLE
Imran Farzand
Private Chef & Cooking Class Instructor
★★★★★
“I was honestly surprised by how much heat CIRCLE brings to the plancha. The roasted flavors are really strong, and at the same time, the temperature can be regulated very precisely using the control dial. It is exactly this mix of fire and control that makes professional cooking simply enjoyable.”
Nina Meyer
Head Chef, Biohotel Ifenblick
★★★★★
"No cable, no gas cartridge, and yet real fire right in the middle of the table – that's exactly what I love about CIRCLE. I can simply take it anywhere with me, and my mind immediately bubbles with ideas for new dishes and evenings with friends. The best part: thanks to the 360° experience, everyone at the table somehow becomes a little chef themselves, and suddenly a shared experience emerges."
Constantin Kiehne
Owner and Head Chef, freistil.
★★★★★
„With CIRCLE, we can create truly exceptional evenings for our guests. Every course allows us to involve them interactively. What makes it special is the variety of cooking methods we can use, ensuring every dish feels different. From searing a tataki on the plancha and gently cooking our char to finishing our mountain cheese toast, CIRCLE offers endless possibilities. It creates a unique connection between our guests and our kitchen, allowing us to share our philosophy in a truly memorable way.“
Boris Rüther
Owner and Head Chef, Wiggerl 17
★★★★★
"What I particularly like about CIRCLE is how uncomplicated and versatile cooking together suddenly becomes. Outside on the terrace just as much as inside at the table. The plancha heats up extremely quickly, and while high heat is being used there, everyone can do their own thing in the small pans – here vegetables and fish simmer to a translucent doneness, there something is gratinated or kept warm. And after the meal, everything is just as quickly clean again."

Step 3: Ignition and Preheating
Make sure the control ring is fully turned down (for maximum flame height) and light CIRCLE using a long lighter through the punched flame openings.
Allow the plancha to preheat for approx. 5–10 minutes before you start grilling. This ensures the perfect start to your cooking experience!
Step 4: Enjoy
Place your food on the grill, turn it and enjoy together. Everything happens right at the table – everyone becomes part of the moment.

We will respond within 24 hours.
Can I use CIRCLE indoors?
Yes, CIRCLE can be used both indoors and outdoors.
Which bioethanol should I use for CIRCLE?
Only use our liquid höfats bioethanol with the green cap for CIRCLE. Only then can we guarantee that the fuel burns without smoke or odour and is suitable for indoor use.
Can I refill the bioethanol during use?
No. You cannot refill bioethanol while CIRCLE is burning. Wait until CIRCLE has cooled down completely before relighting or moving it.
Can I adjust the flame height myself?
Yes. The CIRCLE control ring allows you to adjust the height of all flames simultaneously and set your desired temperature. If six flames still generate too much heat, you can extinguish every second flame to reduce the heat even further. The individual flames can be relit at any time using a lighter.
How long does it take before I can start grilling?
Let the Plancha heat up for 5–10 minutes to reach the proper temperature before you start grilling.
You'll find all the important information you need for the perfect start in our CIRCLE Guide.
How do I extinguish the flames?
The flames are safely extinguished using the flame extinguisher included in the package, by blowing them out through the holes under the glass cylinder.
Is the Plancha free from PFAS substances?
Yes, the Plancha grill plate, as well as all other grilling products for CIRCLE, are free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
What is the difference between the 6-piece pan set and the 9-piece raclette set?
The 6-pan set is ideal for up to 6 people and adds a second level to your CIRCLE tabletop grill for cooking, melting cheese and keeping food warm. The 6 pans are larger, offering more space for different ingredients. The 9-pan raclette set features smaller, classic raclette pans, accommodates up to 9 people and is specially designed for larger raclette gatherings. Both options allow you to grill on the plancha at the same time.
Which oil is suitable for grilling on the Plancha?
Use oils with a high smoke point, such as rapeseed, peanut, or avocado oil. Avoid cold-pressed oils or butter on the Plancha. Use as little oil and marinade as possible to reduce smoke and odors.
How can I clean my CIRCLE, Plancha, and small pan?
Plancha: Plancha: Remove food residues preferably while warm using a rounded spatula, then wipe the Plancha with a kitchen towel. After it has cooled, you can clean the Plancha by hand with water and mild detergent. Do not use steel wool, wire brushes, or abrasive cleaners. A soft brush or sponge is suitable.
Small Pan: Also remove food residues while warm using the included wooden spatula. After cooling, the small pans can be washed by hand with mild detergent or in the dishwasher. The wooden spatulas are not dishwasher-safe.
Burner Unit: Carefully clean the outside of the burner with a damp cloth. Do not clean the ends of the wick tubes. Internal cleaning is not necessary. Never put the burner in the dishwasher or hold it under running water.
