Question 1

How do you keep a grilled cheese warm and crispy?

Accepted Answer

For a few hours, you can keep grilled cheese warm and crispy on an electric food warmer or grill set at a very low temperature. However, it is not a good idea. The longest I would keep them out is two hours, so ensure you keep them covered. If you are packing them for lunch, pour boiled water into a thermos and let it sit while you cook and cool the sandwich. Then, dry it out and cut the sandwich into strips. Place it in the thermos, and it will stay warm and melty until lunch.

Question 2

Why is my grilled cheese soggy?

Accepted Answer

Too much butter is the main reason for soggy grilled cheese sandwiches. I recommend one tablespoon per slice of bread. But remember, I am using huge slices of bread. Also, if you use low-fat butter, the water in it can cause extra moisture, which will also cause sogginess. Another thing is to make sure your pan is hot enough. If it is not, your bread will have to sit too long in the pan and get soggy. Finally, place your sandwich on parchment paper instead of directly on the plate to avoid condensation.

Question 3

How can I reheat my grilled cheese?

Accepted Answer

You need to eat your strawberry bacon grilled cheese sandwich right away. That is the best time to eat it. But you can always try to reheat it. There are a couple of options, and neither one involves the microwave. First, you could put it into a sandwich maker or panini press if you have one. Second, you could reheat it in the air fryer for a few minutes. If you have a toaster oven, this will work too, but it will take 10 to 15 minutes. You can also try cooking it the original way, in the pan. Just preheat the pan, add butter, and cook for two minutes per side.

Question 4

Is it okay to keep my sandwiches in the oven at 175 degrees F for several hours?

Accepted Answer

Keeping your food warm in the oven has been going on for centuries. Actually, before that, we used to keep food in pots over a low fire. They still do this in some countries. It is called perpetual stew (also known as forever soup and hunter’s pot) and is cooked over a low fire constantly 24/7/365 for the whole tribe to add to and eat from. There is one in Thailand that has been going for 49 years. However, I would not recommend it. Honestly, it is not worth the risk.
