Would this work with nacho cheese? I want a nacho cheese warmer and dispenser for our home theater and occasional small scale events but the prices for those are twice as much as this. -- Thank you everyone!

Mine works great. It takes a long time to get the cheese warm but keeps it warm once it is. It is easier to warm it up a little first before putting in the unit. This has been great for the price. I dont have a problem with recommending it.

I have really had good luck with mine. I tried to grate all my "Italian" type cheeses like this. Hope it works out well for you.

I have no info on how accurate a cheese thermometer should be, but this is not as accurate as the baking thermometers like the ones from Polder. This is close, but the scale is not long, which means that it is up to interpretation. Wow thanks to spell check. If the readings don't have to be that accurate, then this one should work. If not, then look at the baking ones with a digital read out. Good luck,

When they give you 3 places it is recommended for (refrigerator, freezer, dishwaster) they are trying to avoid saying "NOT MICROWAVEABLE" Well, that's how I interpret it and I removed the label before I used it so I could wash it first, but I'm pretty sure that microwave is not a good idea. There are several times having a 2 1/2 cup measuring cup is a big help and saves a little time, so of course I had to own it. Leave in your cart awhile and see if price comes down...

I'd like to know what warmer you bought that had a short cord! That's actually what I want because it will be on my counter (using it to warm a jarred candle because they last tons longer and don't burn down) and I'd rather NOT have a 6' cord to try to conceal.

We've been using it on Cooper sharp cheese and it works well. No problems at all.

This grater does pretty well on soft cheese and I do grate mozzarella on it. A light coating of olive oil in advance can help. I really like this grater..............!

I'm trying to think of I've ever used this for mozzarella. I know it does well with cheddar, so I'm sure it would work fine.

1. I wouldn't use it for mac & cheese as the plate that the food sits on has holes and I think you will get the cheese sauce dripping through. It would be better to heat mac & cheese by simply placing a microwave safe cover (such as a plate) over the container it is in & reheat. This will keep it moist while reheating2. I think this steamer works well with foods that need to be steamed that already contain water such as vegetables etc. Dried pasta needs water to be added for cooking so I wouldn't use this steamer for that.3. Never tried it with mac & cheese - don't think it needs to be done this way. A regular container should be enough to cook it in the microwave 1.

I have three different brands of nacho cheese and all of them work great. I did have problems with the cheese drying in the pump if not used often. I ended up using a large spoon to dip with instead of the pump to save on daily cleaning

Can it be used as a cheese dispenser? We used it for butter flavoring to put on popcorn. Pump broke after a few days of use.

I've used it for cheese, I just made sure my flame was on a lower setting so the cheese didn't burn. I'm sure chocolate would work too so long as you don't let it get too hot.

I actually haven't tried that so I can't say. I would guess that a drier cheese would do fine but others may just clump up ???

Never tried these with cheese. Why not just freeze in a plastic bag ? It does not take very long to become useable. It you are cooking with it, it does not matter--just take out the freezer bag and use it frozen. No problem !!!!I would suggest freezing cheese anyway if you want to keep a long time. I am sure these containers would work, but plastic bags take less space ---be sure to press out air from bag BEFORE you close.

We use it in our fondue pot to keep the cheese warm. Watchout on getting this from amazon, the packaging was terrible and the canisters opened up and spilled during shipping. I found replacements at a party store.

I agree with Leonard. For home use it's wonderful but I don't think I'd try to use it for catering. I can't recommend a commercial quality buffet server/warmer either. I sure do wish you great success with your business though! Have a great time!

I ws surprised that it passed the "magnet test" so, though I didn't heat it, I am sure it would work. The question is, Why? Raclete is as much a social dining experience as the more familiar fondue. The heat from two or three tea lights is enough to nicly melt the cheese, which is then slipped onto individual plates. There are special racks to set it above the candles but something effective can be knocked togdether easily. High heat is not needed or desired.
