In the southern parts of South America (Argentina, Chile and Uruguay) people enjoy their cheese warm. To achieve this, they have a ceramic plate that they place on the grill (the grille known locally as the Asado). While they are grilling meat, they are simultaneously using this cheese melter for a delightful appetizer. Traditionally, the cheese is melted in a larger dish and served individually by the table server. The Original Uruguayan EZ-Melter solves the problem of service by creating individual portions of this delicious morsel of cheese. It’s fondue the South American way! Typically, the cheese is provolone, but it is not so limited. Experimentation has shown that this melter works extremely well with asiago, brie and more. Unlike any other kitchen device, this ceramic plate serves as a cheese melter and may be used to prepare various appetizers. And this clever plate keeps them warm during service! Serve hot, scrumptious hors d’oeuvre, not barely luke-warm tidbits!
