x2.

Didn't know there was another way. You can tell who grew up poor or not.

Is it that hard to find? It seems like I've seen it at most grocery stores.

Exactly, in fact I would toast my bread, put some butter on it, put the cheese in the middle and microwave it for 30 seconds.

A frying pan for a grilled cheese? Are you kidding me?

Whoa nelly, what you are proposing isn't even in the same realm of taste as a pan fried sammich.

As an aside, we always referred to them as toasted cheese sammiches in our house.

Shouldn't that be toasted cheese sammiches?

interesting that of all the incarnations of grilled cheese sandwich (toaster, frying pan, microwave) none of them involve cooking the sandwich on a grill.

My passionate argument that toasted is the more appropriate label rather than grilled is what won my wife's heart for me. She still says grilled, but mostly out of habit.

And Surfah's right, sammiches it is.

your wife is up in the night. if something is cooked in a pan, it is not toasted.

You would be correct to call them fried cheese sammiches. Or seared cheese sammiches.

I think we can both agree that "grilled" is not the correct term of art.

Listen dude, I used a dictionary and everything. The bread, by whatever method, reaches a state of toastyness and is thus toasted.

Agreed, grilled is wrong.

Perhaps we should just keep it simple and call them Maillard convection cheese sammiches.
