Soft Cheese Warmer – Warming Plate for Camembert & Brie Cheese – Complement Large or Mini Charcuterie Boards with Your Slow-Melt, Stainless Steel, Dishwasher-Safe Charcuterie Accessories by Ash Harbor

Like magic, works great yes it’s pricey but if you are a cheese lover just get it.

I have not used as yet but very pleased with the quality and design of product.

Bought this for my daughter for her birthday she has used it numerous times it truly is worth it!

This warmer works, amazingly well! As others have noted, it does get quite warm, so you will want to keep Littles away from it. But it warms quickly and maintains heat nicely. In fact, at one point, we blew the little tea light out because the brie was beginning to melt down over the sides. It’s also really attractive – it looks very stylish in my opinion. We had it out with a charcuterie, grazing table and many of our guests complemented us on it. And cleanup was a snap! I’m looking forward to using this again.

We entertain at our house a LOT and I really like experimenting with various serving pieces to change things up all the time. I was intrigued when I spotted this cheese warming plate, so thought I'd give it a try.The stainless steel is heavy-duty - and heavy. The edges are finished very well and are smooth to the touch. The u-shape of this piece is done well and the top and bottom 'plates' are level.The stainless steel is also very easy to clean, and stays looking nice after being used (no discoloration, etc.).The warmer does warm a block of cheese, as intended - BUT... you will have to supply your own tea lights. The item listing doesn't say whether or not this item comes with tea lights - so for the $40 price, I assumed it did. I shouldn't have assumed. I couldn't use this warmer right away out of the box until I went and bought a bunch of tea lights. That was disappointing, and if I were giving this as a gift, I would feel obligated to include tea lights. This warmer could be improved by having it come with a stainless steel tea light holder that could be reused over and over again - just pop in a tea light or a small votive candle.Once you buy yourself the tea lights, expect to wait 15-20 minutes before a wheel of brie will begin to melt. You may have to adjust the tea light to move it under the part of the cheese you want to melt. Of course, you could add additional tea lights as needed to warm the metal quicker. Tea lights don't stay lit for long - maybe about an hour. The tea lights do heat up the metal surface - hottest right above the tea light. You may have to move a tea light around to make sure it stays under the cheese, as the cheese is eaten. I think air temperature affects the effectiveness of this cheese warmer. For example, if you're outside on the patio on a cool 60-degree evening, one tea light probably isn't going to be enough to melt the cheese enough to make a difference.I really like the quality of the stainless steel and I like the overall look, style, and design of this warmer. I think it does add something extra to a charcuterie board, and it can be used for more than just melting cheese.The included drawstring bag is a nice touch and works well for storing this warmer when not in use.If this warmer would have come with a stainless steel candle holder for tea lights or votives, it would be perfect.

We ordered this in preparation for the upcoming holiday season where we tend to have a lot of get togethers, neighborhood parties, etc. It arrived the day before we were having a couple of friends over so the timing was perfect for a trial run - which went really well and we were VERY impressed with this warmer!!Here are some of the things we LOVE about it:1. It is very nicely packaged - comes in a high end looking box, it's secured with a heavy piece of styrofoam to keep it sturdy, and it comes with neat little cards that have a code to scan to receive recipes and register the warranty. Also comes with a nice cotton bag to use it in when it's not in use.2. The recipe book you get when you scan the QR is awesome!! Lots of great ideas in there for different themed charcuterie boards. It's beautifully designed, too. I really appreciate that and feel like I want to highlight how much this manufacturer put into the design of this product and it's packaging - it definitely shows!3. It is solid and incredibly good quality! It's on the heavy side because it's 100% stainless steel - making is a stable, sturdy item that you will have for years and years!4. And now for the most important part: It works really, REALLY well!! It fits a standard wheel of camembert or brie and one tealight is sufficient to get it melty. It takes a little bit of time but that would be true with any warmer of this type, and that's actually a good thing, since that shows you how durable this item is. It melts the cheese slow and steadily, which is exactly what you want most of the time. If you want to get the cheese melting faster, two tealights will do the trick in half the time. (You can use a bigger brie on this too since it will accomodate size wise...it will take a little longer and I'd definitely use the two tealights there.)5. It is dishwasher safe, which is excellent. (Obviously you can hand wash it too if you prefer) It seems to do fine with cutting the cheese on it with no scratches or scuffs, so that's also a big plus.Overall, I don't think I have ever been THIS impressed with any kitchen gadget as I am by this one. It is all the way around awesome and I'm so glad we ordered it...it really made for a nice accent at our gathering and I can't wait to use it for our holiday parties. Our friends who were over really liked it too and it became a conversation piece! LOLIf you have a cheese and/or charcuterie lover in your life, this would make an amazing gift for a holiday or a housewarming. It is 100% worth every penny of the price and then some. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this warmer - I would rate it 5,000 stars if I could!!
