No. No, no no. Hold on. Hold the goddamned phone.
I bought that EXACT model a few weeks ago. Supposedly it cooks the sandwich and then somehow presses the bread together at the edges so that it's all encased in bread, or something.
That shit don't work. Unless I'm mistaken and you have a much better model than I did, it was awful. I had to return it. It didn't even get hot enough to melt cheese thoroughly.
No, my friend... THIS is what you need. I give to you the greatest kitchen appliance since the spatula.
This shit will change your life. There were times when I was really hungry, but I wouldn't eat, because eating requires putting a meal together and that can be hard work. This invention changed that. Sure, it does require some work, but holy crap is the outcome amazing.
Recipe:
2 slices of bread
your choice of sliced cheese
a slice of ham, turkey, whatever you want
some anti-stick spray (vegetable oil spray, etc)
dijon mustard (optional but REQUIRED)
First, plug that shit in. You can't start until the light is green. Unless I have it backwards, and it has to be red. Whatever. Whatever the light ISN'T when you first turn it on, that's what it has to be. The indicator light that tells you it's hot, that is.
Now wait. About five minutes or more, depending on if you're a sissy and you don't like the bread very dark, or if you're an incredible beast of a man who can handle almost-black.
That's it.
Another discovery I should note...a friend goaded me into buying a Cuisinart Griddler (Panini Press). It's seen a tremendous amount of use, and only costs $45. Even a guy like me with no skills in the kitchen can whip up one of the best grilled ham and cheese sandwiches around. Awesome gadget.
They actually make these cheap 20 dollar machines and they are all about grilling the cheese. Here is a good 50 dollar one: http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-GR-1-Griddler-Panini-Sandwich/dp/B000CPZXGO/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1324180609&sr=1-1
A panini press (https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-GR-1-Griddler-Panini-Sandwich/dp/B000CPZXGO) revolutionized the lunch food of my wife and me. We got this a year ago, and still use it all the time. It's pretty amazing, and ALL sandwiches are now so much better.
