And so many potential variations.
>apply garlic herb butter to the exterior of the bread
>apply thinly spread alfredo sauce on the interior of the slices
>apply mozzarella, provolone, and romano to the interior
>serve with tomato-basil soup

We make grilled cheese with ham and call it “handy toast” where I live.

That is a melt. It is also a great form of toasted sandwich, but it is no more a grilled cheese than a Reuben is.

is the mayo on the outside thing any good?

>> No.12037374

Yes, it toasts very crispy without the greasiness of butter.

Based purist. How do you.feel about Mayo on the outside instead of butter?

Why does my grilled cheese only melt on the edges? Do I need to use a smaller hob?

Cooking too quickly at too high a temperature.

I think I should stop using the largest part of the stove. On med-low it's still hot as fuck

Best way is to toast the bread with toaster, place single slice of American cheese in middle, nuke for 10sec

How to make a grilled cheese:
1) Buttered white bread
2) Greased pan
3) American cheese
4) Cut diagonally

How to make any other sandwich, melt, or open-face:
1) Do anything else

Sometimes, your cooking surface is non-ideal for tall elements like a grilled cheese. Here's the fix: if you're cooking in a pan, find a cover for that pan. If it's on a griddle, find a metal object that will cover the item being cooked.

Then, splash about a tablespoon of water into the pan or onto the griddle, and immediately cover the water and food item. Wait a minute, then uncover and continue to cook normally. The heat transfer from the steam will have perfectly melted any stubborn cheese.

I like mine stuffed with velveeta. It's a bit ghetto but it's my childhood.

American cheese is terrible for grilled cheese. Sharp cheddar or bust

Sharp cheddar is too sharp, overwhelms the toasted buttery bread and the tomato soup. Mild cheddar if you need to be a douchebag, but American is best.

Velveeta slices were engineered for grilled cheese. There is no shame in consuming such a sandwich.

>>12040479
Split sharp cheddar with low-moisture mozzarella is outstanding. Shred both into a bowl, toss, and apply to the sandwich. The moz fixes the poor melt properties of the cheddar.
