Abstract
A cheese server includes hangers for engaging cheese bag bottoms and suspending the bags inverted in a steam chamber. Gravity influenced squeeze bars ride down the bag sides to express cheese toward the bag outlet fitment. A hose is connected to the fitment and is pinched off by an 'iron udder' clamping apparatus to control dispensing. Water in the bottom of the steam tank is heated to produce steam for heating the cheese quickly. A trough in the chamber top returns condensate to the water.
