the device is very beautiful and the elongated shape is very convenient. The glass is easily cleaned since it removes the resistance is slightly higher than on a conventional camera which also helps to clean the bottom. It's also very nice to see the cheese melt, rather than having to remove the cup every time to see what stage it is ... Glad that the designer had finally found a new idea for this utensil! The only flaw is the price: almost 100 it's a bit pricey though.
