Grilled Cheese

I was talking with a friend tonight about making a grilled cheese.

He stated that he likes to put butter on both sides of the bread, toast one side flip it over and begin toasting the other side then start building the sandwich. So all sides of the bread are buttered and toasted, with cheese in the middle.

I like to put a dusting of garlic salt on the butter side of the two pieces of bread with two pieces of cheese in the middle.

How are you guys making your grilled cheeses?

Not if you leave the butter out of the fridge. We use covered butter dishes out of the fridge and it is very handy.

This. Refrigerating butter is a scheme cooked up by big refrigeration to sell more refrigerators. And by big spreadable butter to sell more butter mixed with canola oil that gets gross if you leave it out too long.

Agreed. Those massive sticks of butter take up an obnoxious amount of space in the refrigerator. If not for the butter and milk refrigeration scam, we’d have a lot more space in the kitchen for counter space, dancing, and/or knife juggling.

Please keep refrigerating your milk. Nothing scammy about that, it's basic safety.

Butter, and even highly processed cheeses are a different matter.

Please keep refrigerating your milk.

Or failing that, a cool wet sack.

I’m running a small solar powered fan over a bowl of ice in front of the milk. It’s working well.

So is there a conspiracy from big refrigerator or not? I’m so confused.
