Like pancakes and omelets, the first one kinda sucks, but they get better, like magic.
I wish that progress didn’t reset every day for me.
The trick is to like burned bread. God I love the taste of charcoal.
sigh
From a few years ago.
I think you read the instructions wrong you were meant to make grilled cheese not charcoal.
I prefer a nice reverse sear grilled cheese, personally. Two slices of bread on the pan, dry, crisped up over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, then the cheese is stacked between the crispy sides, soft bread on the exterior.
Butter the pan, fry both sides of the sandwich until they’re only just browning and the cheese has melted through. The lighter crunch inside and outside avoids the issue of sandpapering all of your flesh off.
I burn both sides. I like mine nice and crunchy.
Jokes on you, I burn both sides! But I like it like that.
mayo. the trick is to use mayo. (on the outside, silly)
Do you still use butter too?
nope. just mayo
Maybe for you, noobcakes.
You turn the heat off as soon as you flip the sandwich over. Then you can leave it for as long as you want and it’ll still be cooked just right.
i know its not much, but i can make a perfect one.
let me have this.
I don’t care if it’s a little charred. American cheese is already probably nice and carcinogenic, so what’s a little more. And don’t tell me to make a grilled cheese with real cheese, that’s just not right.
American cheese (provided it’s good quality) is just cheese, milk, and sodium citrate.
So many kinds of cheese work better grilled than American “cheese”, you’d be surprised.
Also, some work very well grilled with bread, but yours is a serious competitor there.
Just add another slice of bread and stick it into a pannini press.
Air fry it.
