Cheese can be melted by placing it in a microwave safe dish and cooking on high heat for a set amount of time. Most recipes provide instructions for how to melt certain types of cheese.
The age of a cheese also affects how it melts. A glue of calcium atoms holds the casein molecules together. When cheese is heated, the calcium glue dissolves, and the casein molecules separate. In fresh, unaged cheese, the casein molecules are large and stretchy, and they tend to get tangled into ropes, which is why melted fresh mozzarella is stringy.
