The device was delivered very quickly and in great condition, as is the case for us so far with AMAZON. Compared to conventional devices where the cheese, sliced, background in small cups, are placed here half (or 1/3 ...) cheese wheel is heated from above by a resistor. When the top of the cheese is scraped the grill to slide the plates on meats, potatoes, capers ... everyone will have deposited. Very friendly, this process (traditional Savoie or Haute-Savoie) gives more taste to the cheese. The disadvantage is that a person is responsible for the operation of the unit, but you can eat at least 8 without really expect. If there is too much cheese for one meal (one is obliged to buy at least 1/3 or 1/4 wheel, ie 1 to 2 kg, we can freeze what is left, or keep several days the fridge. Try it, you'll love (s)!
