above at a high temperature to you. it's important for it to form a crossed because we need this roasted flavor of quite often. that's the problem with these little table top grills people use at home star, they're not hot enough and that she simply ends up melting via hum heroes and that are like we have our own. we're klett cheese. he is a, it's a my and were clad cheese is one of the best you can find in switzerland. uh huh. it's a semi hot cheese that you have to make sure it stays nice and creamy when you melted so that it doesn't get to greasy. when it melts and that it has a good cross, that 1st of all is hot enough, so the whole cheese doesn't just melt away and fall apart, but stays nice and compact, surely compact life. okay, we see the reconnect being put hand with boiled potato silva, skin onions, maybe pickles, and maybe corn critical for melting. the cheese is the right heat. miss cindy, i'm with you. now we can see that it's here. we already have
