The Cuisinart CMD-108 is a 9-inch stainless steel melting dome that does far more than melt cheese. Designed to trap heat and moisture, it circulates steam and warmth over food to speed up melting, lock in flavor, and keep cooked dishes hot while you finish the rest of the meal.
Cuisinart CMD-108 Melting Dome: A Simple Tool with Many Uses
Whether you're making a smash burger with gooey cheddar, steaming a batch of fresh vegetables on a camping griddle, or keeping breakfast eggs warm while you toast the buns, this dome is ready for the grill, griddle, skillet, or stovetop.
How the Melting Dome Works
Place the dome over your food after it's already on a hot surface. The stainless steel construction traps rising heat and reflects it back, while a small amount of water can create gentle steam. This speeds up cheese melting and keeps food moist without flipping or moving it.
Durable, Lightweight, and Easy to Clean
The heavy-duty stainless steel can handle high temperatures and sharp tools. When you're done, just wipe it clean or rinse it under water. It's compact enough to pack for camping and easy to store in a drawer or cabinet.
Compatibility and Sizing
At 9 inches across, the dome fits most round griddles, skillets, and stove burners. It works on gas, charcoal, electric, and induction surfaces since the heat does not need to pass through the dome itself. Use it as a cloche-like cover for tortillas, sandwiches, or melting cheese on nachos.
