Grill only one face of each piece of bread, make sandwich with toasted parts facing the inside, toast one side of the sandwich then flip and toast the other side.

honestly you can make a god tier open faced grilled cheese with some decent bread, cheddar and a broiler

Yeah we bongs call that "toasted cheese". Finally you burgers have caught up to the superior "twice cooked bread with melted cheese" format.

Cover the sandwich while it's in the pan. Or, zap it in the microwave for a few seconds after you take it out of the pan.

This. If you want the stereotypical grilled cheese you see in pictures like the OP you need to use shit like Kraft singles or some equivalent

You can mix other cheese with it, but for the most part even using just cheddar alone, it doesn't get all liquified, it does melt just not in the same way, becomes more of an oily rubber consistency than the liquidy ooze you apparently desire

cheddar gets pretty melty and stringy as long as it hasn't been aged too long / too dry.

>> No.13247376

>>13244704
Hey OP, here's what I've done recently. Melt your butter in the frying pan. Put the bread in the pan to apply the butter. Do this for each sandwich slice. Be generous with the butter. Assemble the grilled cheese over medium-low heat. Flip frequently. You'll get perfect toast and melted cheese.

>> No.13247390

easy good way, use kraft american singles
better way, shred cheddar cheese, dont use slices, shredded cheese will melt a lot faster

patrician choice using mayo instead of butter

>> No.13247463

>>13244704
Take your cheese out of the fridge, prepare into slices or unwrap it. Let it come up to room temp. Meanwhile, preheat a pan on medium-low. Butter your bread slices and lay them buttered side down, then distribute your cheese between each bread slice. Once some browning has developed on the underside of your bread, assemble the sandwich and just monitor the browning and flip the sandwich occasionally until your desired browning is achieved. If you're cooking on medium, you're running too hot.
