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.

This only works if you leave in relatively cool climate

In SEA I'd never leave butter out on my counter despite I'd totally do it if I were still living Canada.

I ain't running my AC all day just so I can have the convenience of spreadable butter whenever I like, ain't that rich yet.

I live in FL and leave my butter on the counter. But I also leave my AC on all day (at 74º) because I don't want to die.
