Has anyone tried making a grilled cheese with just a toaster and a microwave?

Like as in toasting the bread, assembling the sandwich and then microwaving it. I want to try eating ham and cheese toasties for lunch in the office but obviously don’t have access to a gas range there

>> No.17727410

microwave first, then finish in the toaster oven
used to be how i made dinner as a kid when my parents werent home because i was scared of using the stove

You can buy toasters that are designed to cook a whole grilled cheese sandwich at once.

A decent thing if you have a big kitchen. Me, got rid of mine after it fell off the shelf it was squeezed into for the 7th time. Balancing making toasts in it 5 times a year and having it take up space, I opted for getting rid of it.

OP, I just want you to know they aren't going to be that good. I don't think they will satisfy the toasty desire burning inside.

I used to do that as a kid. It was edible but not quite as good as grilled cheese made properly. The cheese usually isn't quite melted all the way because you can't microwave bread for too long without it getting hard and chewy. Might work better if you leave the sandwich open and then microwave it. It'd probably work better if you can just get a toaster oven in there though, then you could toast the bread and broil to finish melting the cheese on it.

my ex gf who was hopeless at cooking used to do this

it honestly wasn't the worst thing ever

you won't get any crisp due to lack of direct heat

Nope, OP hopes to first get bread alone crispy in a toaster, then get the cheese to melt into toasted bread in a microwave. I'm afraid the toast will get soggy from the cheese steam, though never tried, I may be wrong.

this was the only hot food i knew how to make when i was about 8 years old and my parents weren't around a lot so i'd make an entire loaf of bread/pack of cheese worth of these pseudo grilled cheese sandwiches while watching old reruns of Miami Vice & The A-Team, it was the best. I'd always get beaten when they found out I ate all the bread for the week but those few hours were worth it every time.

I'm lilerally in the process of waiting for my steak to get more firm in the freezer so I can cut it up like philly cheesesteak style and slap it all on between a grilled cheese my guy.

Best way to make a grilled cheese is to slightly freeze some steak or worst case scenario flatten out some ground beef. if you don't have a meat slicer, freeze the beef for about 20 minutes. Not frozen solid but stiff. Chop the steaks into very thin slices, flip with mayo and SPG, you have perfect meat for phillys that you can throw in between a grilled cheese for a perfect steak grilled cheese.

Anyone who uses butter on their grilled cheese toast side instead of mayo is a fool.

The toaster I have is for whole sandwiches but also doubles as a regular toaster.

You put the cheese on the outside, peanut butter on the inside and you finish it on the radiator.

It works but it's also miserable. Bread doesn't microwave well and you won't be able to get it truly toasted.

Toast the bread, then pop cheese in between and nuke it until the cheese melts. Flip it mid nuke so the melt is even.
Won't be the greatest but it'll be edible.

All you guys are worried about soggy bread when you microwave it, right? How about this:

>toast bread
>melt cheese separately in its own bowl in the microwave
>apply gooey cheese to the toasted bread
>place two halves together

Obviously you can add butter and condiments and stuff on the way.

doesn't the melted cheese run to the bottom of the sandwich when placed vertically in a toaster?

There is no way that will work well. You are better off making a shitty quesodilla by microwaving cheese between two flour tortillas. It's not fantastic but it'll be less shitty than microwaved toasted bread.

listen buddy, a grilled cheese is two piece of greased up bread FRIED on a griddle or pan with cheese, and nothing else.

you do NOT cook it in the toaster or microwave, otherwise it's a cheese toast

you do NOT put additional ingredients on it, or it becomes a melt

apologize now

He literally called what he wanted to eat "ham and cheese toasties" in his post. Learn to read.
