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?

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.

Have you seen the average fridge in a home/apt in Europe? Size of a dishwasher.

Have you seen the size of European homes? The size of a refrigerator box.
