Let’s talk about that microwavable grilled cheese maker that came out a few months ago. If this product ever comes back, I highly recommend grabbing one. While it may seem lazy to some people, I actually think it’s pretty genius. I can think of so many reasons why it’s worth the purchase like college students who don’t have access to a stove, parents teaching young kids how to cook, people looking for easier cleanup, or older adults who no longer feel comfortable cooking over an open flame and it’s dish washer safe.
The first time we used it, I let my kids do everything by themselves. They lightly wiped the plates with olive oil, assembled the sandwhich, put the plates together, and cooked it in the microwave. My 10-year-old made the second one completely by herself, which is the more toasted sandwich in the last picture. For that one, we used ghee instead of olive oil before assembling and microwaving it.
Both sandwiches came out amazing. Some of you know, both of my children have food sensitivities and food aversions. One prefers crunchy foods and the other prefers softer textures. When we used the olive oil, the grilled cheese was fully cooked but stayed softer, which my son ended up loving. He ate about a quarter of the sandwich, which for his first time ever trying grilled cheese is a huge win and definitely not something I’m complaining about. 🎉
When we used the ghee, it came out nice and crispy, exactly how my daughter likes it. All in all, I absolutely love this grilled cheese maker and honestly don’t think I’ll be pulling out a frying pan to make grilled cheese again. I was also pretty excited that I found it on clearance for around $3, which made it an even better purchase. 🙌🏽❤️
