You have to grill the cheese on low heat.
If the issue still persists use a lid.

[Anonymous No.19747324]

>>19747308
or just slice the cheese beforehand and let it get to room temperature before assembling and cooking retard

You should have just filmed the segment again, Gordon, come on

[Anonymous No.19747386]

technically you want to make a griddled melted cheese sandwich as you neither want to grill nor grill cheese at that
use lower heat until the cheese is warm. then if the bread is not crisp you can crank up the heat on your griddle and "grill" it crisp

Best grilled cheese is in toaster oven.
Fried grilled cheese is too greasy and you can bite into cold cheese if you're not careful.

Are you cooking each slice by themselves or making a complete sandwich and flipping? First cooks much better and puts out much more heat on each slice.

[Anonymous No.19747887]

Just grate the cheese.

[Anonymous No.19748374]

>>19747308
do just the bottom slice and the cheese with a lid, then add the second slice of bread when you flip

Oven 390 degrees for 10ish minutes. You're welcome.

[Anonymous No.19748393]

>>19747308
Microwave for 8 seconds

[Anonymous No.19748410]

Once the bread is toasted where you want just turn the heat way down and cover it for like 5 mins

>Imagine failing to make a goddamn grilled cheese.

[Anonymous No.19748542]

>>19747319
this is the one, gotta cook it on low so that the heat gets to the cheese before the bread burns. my mum always has the heat too high and burns the bread before the cheese melts, and it sucks.

[Anonymous No.19748570]

>>19747308
you gotta melt the cheese on the bread unassembled. 1 or 2 slices cheese on each slice of bread on low then when you that it melts you can turn the heat up and toast the bread

cheddar grilled cheese is fucking great. Swiss is ok. mozzarella grilled cheese kinda sucks and fucks up the chew.

Fuck off alton

[Anonymous No.19749059]

>>19747308
personally, I just make each piece of the grilled cheese separately then assemble and heat a little bit more

[Anonymous No.19749257]

>>19747308
Put it in the oven at 200F after you get the bread toasted how you like. Remove when cheese has melted.

>only using one kind of cheese
Provolone and cheddar are a good combo.
Cheddar and American is good too if you're craving that classic melty American cheese but you wanna also get the flavor of decent cheese too.

[Anonymous No.19749414]

i normally make mine with white bread air fried in mayo and as soon as the color gets like 30% in from the edges i quickly put on dijon then throw a slice of american on the top and bottom bread and throw em back in for literally like 40s. i eat them open face and put el yucateco hot sauce on. ive made some fancy ones before with gruyere and fontia and stuff its completely different from the trash i eat.

You need to understand the properties of individual cheeses before you attempt to mad scientist a frankencheese.

Did you try the lid trick?

[Anonymous No.19749717]

>>19749706
yeah but the pan got hot too quickly even at a low heat setting, so i ended up burning one side. i only left it on the pan for like a minute but it still went brown/black.
>>19749704
but i did my best...

[Anonymous No.19749944]

>>19749717
Just leave one side untoasted, and fillip it over to that when you put the lid on

It's not meat you can check the bottom and if it's going too brown just turn the burner off and let it finish melting with residual heat

I might be a CEC so I might get this wrong but it’s like chicken, right?
If you take a “too high”* heat, you’ll get the browning you want quickly but to cook it through you’ll burn both the fond and the crust. So you need a “lower”* heat where it browns a bit after a few minutes and develops a healthy brown and fond at the end of cooking both sides of the breast. If I’m not wrong, it’s the same with a grilled cheese, right?
*”higher” and “lower” are relative and I have no idea what the “right” heat would be. Can’t even get it right on my stove cuz am Can’t Even Cooklet
