Just ordered this handy gadget

[Pappy]

For the days we just want a quick lunch, this looks like a good way for a quick toasted cheese. I’ll let you know, or does anyone already have one?

 

[Aunt Bea]

Let us know how it works!

It's gotta be easier than this...

 

[Kaya]

I like that little gadget that squishes the bread into a sandwich. It's great for grilled cheese or ham and cheese because it seals all edges. When you bite into it...yummy! I have two of them!

This one looks good too:

I want one of these

Not for me. That would be one honey of an appliance to clean.

What keeps the cheese from melting, running out the bottom, and making a mess? Besides making a grilled cheese sandwich in a pan on the stove is pretty easy and quick.

 

[Laurie]

Had one for some time, they can be messy.

I prefer a toasting bag

They will certainly be available in the US.

Re-usable with a rinse they last for years, I've had mine about ten.

I make my grilled cheese sammiches the old-school way - I have enough gadgets on my 2'-long kitchen counter.

 

[Pappy]

Thanks Laurie, I can see why these should be use. I hope this doesn’t end up in the closet next to the bread maker. :what1:

That's easy, just lay it on it's side!

 

[SifuPhil]

That's easy, just lay it on it's side!

Is that safe though?

 

[RadishRose]

Is that safe though?

I don't know- what could happen?

 

[SifuPhil]

I don't know- what could happen?

Burn through the plastic housing on the side?

 

[RadishRose]

I thought it was metal. Oh, you mean Pappy's toaster! Yes, that one is plastic.

Never mind.

Never mind.

No, no, that's a good point.

I don't have enough cabinet space for single-application appliances. If I wanted to make grilled cheese, I would either use my Cuisinart Griddler or a cast iron skillet.

Same here. My little kitchen only has 42 inches of counter space!

These days I toast the bread add the cheese and zap it in the microwave for a few seconds.

It tastes about half as good as a real grilled cheese sandwich but it saves a few calories and I don't have to wash the pan.

 

[Camper6]

Get a toaster oven. Best appliance I ever bought. Baking, broiling, and toasting.

Line the pans with tin foil. Clean up is a cinch.

That gadget for grilled cheese looks like it might be a bear to clean melted cheese from the bottom, unless the bottom unhinges.

People ask what do retirees do to fill their days with. When grilled cheese sandwiches are going to be on the menu it's time to drag out the bread maker, bake & cut bread into Texas toast size slices then drag out the cast iron pan. I guess the cast iron weight used to press the sandwiches could be a gadget.

Counter space is a pet peeve of my wife so putting 2 eight foot long shelves on the wall in our garage to hold the gadgets makes her happy. Everything from an apple peeler to a gadget for making curly potato fries is out there.

Pappy,that sounds like a nice Christmas gift for your ornery neighbor!
