    I was just pointing out that your individually wrapped "cheese" singles are called cheese product. They're barely able to call it cheese as it is.

    You must use two slices of processed cheese (I call it plasticheese). One piece does not make it cheesy enough.

    I prefer real cheddar cheese with everything else in my life, but it does not melt or taste right in a grilled cheese sandwich.

    I also believe in preheating my skillet. I cook mine totally dark golden brown and once in awhile I actually let it get a little burnt because it tastes even better.

    I do not cut mine but my wife and kids like there's cut at an angle. They prefer theirs with ketchup while I eat mine plain.

    Lastly, for a twist, I have been known to put on a few slices of ham as well. The ham goes in between the two slices of cheese.

    It's not that bad. He just needs to flip it back over and let that side finish cooking a little.

    From the month I spend in England, I can attest that the Brits have no idea how to cook "good" food. Way to many meat pies and cobbs for my liking. Nothing like ordering a coke, and the waiter brings out a glass with nothing but warm Coke in it. I asked for ice, and he was gracious enough to bring me A cube of ice. Now I know I was spoiled because my mom is a great cook, but British food left a lot to be desired.

    Grilled cheese it is for me. I tend to make mine with white bread and velveeta cheese. It melts oh so well.

    4 pages and 2 toasted?

    There's a reason you put butter on toast as well. Toasted bread is blah

    whoa whoa whoa...
    you had me until "sine qua non". You quote Frog and then call me a rich liberal for using 2 pieces of cheese??!!
    Whatsa matta with you, Son?

    And everyone knows you only flip it once, and then only when the bottom half is loose in the pan. You don't have to use a spatula. Shake the pan in your hand, if the sandwich slides easily, that's how you know it's ready to flip.

    Of course you only flip it once. But a man with true expertise doesn't have to slide it around to know when it's browned on the downside. You just KNOW.

    And as far as two slices of cheese is concerned, like I said, a man has a Constitutional right (you could look it up) to make a sandwich any way he pleases. But there is a real difference between a genuine, down home, grilled cheese sandwich and an effete, New York style, toasted cheese sandwich.

    If you're not grilling your grilled cheese on your grill, you are missing out.
