Pizza Cheese Spreader

[mikejackson]

A couple years ago before I moved to the Philippines, I saw a 'cheese spreader' in Dominos located in Yuma, Arizona. Does anyone have any idea who might make these? I have so much problem with the amounts of cheese spread on top of our pizza. Can't seem to teach the locals how to do it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

mikejackson,

If you are referring to the device shown in this YouTube video,

, it is called an AutoCheeser, or Khalid's AutoCheeser, after the person who developed the unit for Domino's. The unit is manufactured exclusively for Domino's but I have read that from time to time they can be found on eBay. As I understand it, the unit only distributes the cheese--which apparently is diced--over the pizzas. It does not portion the amounts of cheese based on pizza size. As shown in the video, workers scoop the cheese into the AutoCheeser from the top. I believe that the largest size pizza that the unit can handle is 16" but I am not absolutely certain on that.

Looks like the cheese just drops on to a cone and on to a screen. Seems like it would only work with real dry, real small sized cheese.
