Queso Fundido

May 28, 2020
Using both the convection and the top heating element on the Anova Precision Oven to create the perfect queso fundido. Traditionally this dish is made with some hard to find Mexican cheeses, however this dish has substituted to easier to find cheeses from your local grocery store. The top heating element will give a perfect char on top of the cheese, and the initial steam will be used to lightly melt the cheese without burning.This dish is a mouth watering delight.
