I have always made grilled-cheese sandwiches by buttering the bread before placing it in the pan. Every set of directions for making a grilled-cheese sandwich that I’ve read advises thusly. My search though has not been exhaustive.
A better way: place some butter in the pan. Put the sandwich on the butter. Press. Move the sandwich around a bit to get as much butter as possible on the bread. When you’re ready to flip, add a little more butter to the pan.
Buttering the pan and not the bread makes for a much, much quicker sandwich. And the pan can stay at relatively high heat without burning the bread. I don’t know why that’s so.
Note: It is indeed a grilled-cheese revolution, not a grilled cheese revolution.

Sometimes I toast the slices of bread first in the toaster. But agreed, buttering the bread is superfluous.
ReplyDeleteToasting must make for extra crispness. I will try it.
