| Yes, I've had this happen when I've made them. Ideas? Other than make
your sandwich last (i.e. make your soup first, get your chips, drink,
etc. ready while the sandwich is cooking), I have no ideas.
Sorry!

| Place the sandwich onto a cooling rack, during the time you are fixing
your soup..... Then transfer to a plate when ready to eat.

| Toast the bread lightly first. Though I must admit I don't usually
make grilled cheese; I broil slices of toast with cheese on them
instead.

Really, a cooling rack is a good idea, and you could make one easily
from popsicle sticks (I'm serious, they're just the right length,
cheap, and easy to work with) and a hot glue gun. You can buy bags of
them at a crafts store. (You could even color them with vegetable dyes
made from spinach, beets, and carrots)

| I make my daughter's daycare grilled cheese lunch this way:
1. Put 2 slices of bread in toaster oven. Cover 1 slice with cheese.
2. Toast until cheese softens and bread starts to crisp.
3. Put bread together to make sandwich.
4. Either leave in toaster oven, door open, or lean it up against
something to cool.
5. When cool, place in sandwich bag.
6. Store at room temperature until lunch. Can be reheated in
microwave.
Works fine for me. You could spread bread with butter or margarine if
you wanted a higher-fat version.

Simple. Heat the plate. The sogginess is caused by putting the hot
sandwich on a cold plate. This is particularly true when taking a
plate out of the cupboard on an outside wall in Winter.
One of the tricks I use is to put the plate on top of the sandwich
after it's been turned. This not only warms the plate, but presses
down on the sandwich causing some cheese to ooze out onto the griddle
and get that nice crunchy texture. Either that or put it on the
radiator while the sandwich is cooking.

Another way to heat up plates is to put them in the disk washer
and put it on dry/heat cycle for a couple of minutes.

| 3732.9 | Good solutions, problem solved, Thanks! | TLE::PERIQUET | Dennis Periquet | Thu Sep 22 1994 15:39 | 8 |

Thanks for the advice. I got one of those screens that you can place a
hot sandwich on and let cool while letting air pass through the bottom.
I just tried it out last night and it worked nicely. I'll try heating
the plates next time -- good idea.
