A device for melting cheese in a microwave or oven and then shaping the melted cheese into a bowl-shape form as it cools and hardens to contain salads, snacks, eggs, and the like. The self-supporting base component has dowel-affixing mechanisms to couple a sheet of non-stick flexible heat-resistant material taut over the hollow center of the self-supporting base. A layer of cheese is placed on the sheet of non-stick flexible heat-resistant material and melted in a microwave or oven. Once melted and removed from the microwave or oven, the sheet of non-stick flexible heat-resistant material is decoupled and the bowl-shape form is pressed into the melted cheese on the sheet of non-stick flexible heat-resistant material and into the void beneath the self-supporting base component, conforming the cheese to the bowl-shape form. The cheese cools and hardens permanently taking on the bowl shape.
