Atosa USA ATCM-36 36-Inch Gas Cheesemelter

The Atosa ATCM-36 Cheesemelter is a professional 36-inch gas specialty broiler designed for finishing dishes with precision. Ideal for Italian, Mexican, and Tex-Mex cuisine, this unit excels at melting cheese, browning toppings, and adding the perfect finishing touch to plated menu items.

Designed for Finishing, Not Primary Cooking

Like a salamander broiler, a cheesemelter is primarily used for finishing foods rather than fully cooking them. It delivers concentrated overhead heat that quickly melts cheese, browns casseroles, gratins, nachos, and other dishes without overcooking the base ingredients.

The ATCM-36 provides the same powerful output as the Atosa Salamander, making it a versatile addition to commercial kitchens requiring reliable finishing performance.
