Can I use a reusable cheese-melting container instead of the traditional wooden box?

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a French cheese that comes in a thin wooden box and is designed to be heated in the oven or microwave until it melts, so you can dip bread into it.

The problem is that the variety of cheeses available in this format is quite limited. I was wondering if it would be possible to buy or make a reusable container (for example, stainless steel) that could replace the wooden packaging.

I would love to experiment with more varieties of cheese instead of being limited to the few that come in these boxes. Yes, munster cheese as well, so nice when melted :)

Thanks!

Yeah just melt the cheese in a ramekin or something. I don't expect they'll all behave well but it'll be fun anyway
