Used to make them as a young wife as it was easy but in those days we fried them in butter. Bad, bad, bad.

Now many here use little electric sandwich makers which is a healthier way.

Oh oh, I still cook them in butter, LOL!! I never had one of those cool things yet:) Non-stick no doubt;)
 

Room-mate has a baby George Foreman grill - barely big enough for two healthy-sized burgers - and while it can be handy the clean-up is really tough, much longer than cleaning a regular skillet or pan. This one doesn't have the removable grills. You also can't use any abrasives on the non-stick surface, which of course doesn't stop roomie from using a metal spatula on it then cleaning it with a green scrubby pad. :rolleyes:

... and she wonders why I always volunteer to do the cooking as well as the clean-up ...

It's nice that the grease drips out, but as a long-time consumer of city burgers I can say with some conviction that sometimes it's the grease that makes the burger. ;)

For my own tastes, I'll stick with a basic, old-fashioned metal pan. Never had problems with them. I also don't see too many professional chefs using these gizmos ...
 
Yummy!! love toasted cheese sandwiches.. sharp tasty vintage cheese is nice .. also I use baking paper on my foreman grill
the meat or what ever cooks between the sheets of paper and no mess and all cooked as I like it .Just throw the paper out and wipe over the grill just in case and good to go for the next time..
 
LOL, I didn't know there were any replies on this thread lately:playful: I guess "burnt grilled cheese" lives forever, in our hearts and in our minds:lofl:but I need to keep you girls up to date, I've burnt lots of things since then:giggle:
 
I would have done the same thing you did Denise. Good thing nothing serious happened such as a burned pot or fire. I don't know if you cook with fire. I don't any longer...I use the NuWave system. I promise not to tell anyone. :D

but don't let it go past this forum since I'm trying to find a job that would include cooking for others:(

I scraped the blackest part off and not too bad. Too much multi-tasking is my only excuse, no, changed my mind, stoves fault, pans fault and no one else in the house checked on my food for me:lofl:I'm sure you've heard charcoal is good for you. at least that's what my mom always said. Now that I think of it, maybe she was a multi-tasker too and just wanted to get us to eat it anyway, which we did;)

As a child we used to eat burnt toast. I would always be scraping the burnt toast into the sink and wouldn't have thought of throwing it into
the garbage as this would be wasting it. We were a family of 5 and wages were so low in the 50's, and the bread was only delivered once a week.
