Reheating grilled cheese?
 

Lunch yesterday was half of a grilled cheese sandwich. I brought the other half home from the restaurant. Now, I'd like to have that for lunch, but I'm not quite sure how to reheat it without it getting soggy. Any suggestions?

My first choice would be my Panini maker, which would crisp it right back up.

You could accomplish something similar in a fry pan, just don't let it scorch.

The nuker will turn it to mush.

Open it up and put it under the broiler.

Eat it cold??

I used a frying pan and it didn't get it quite hot enough for my tastes, but it did keep it nice and crisp. I knew a microwave would make it mushy.

Another option would be to heat up some tomato soup, cut the sandwich into "fingers", and use them for dipping. Not fully crisp won't matter, as the dipping process softens them anyway.

this is why I love the Flyertalk app on my android. I go to read industry news and deals and get grilled cheese reheating methods! I love it. thanks.

Priceless info available here!

Try reheating in very hot cast iron pan

Yup - toster oven will fix it.

I don't like tomato soup. :) My sandwich was served with tomato soup yesterday, and I asked that they package up the soup. :)
I don't have a cast iron pan. :)

Why do we do that? And yes I mean We, I do it all the time. We get something in a restaurant, turns out we don't like it, and so we ask them to package it up to take home, where you know it will sit your refrigerator for two weeks until you decide to clean it out and throw it away?

Mr. Kipper eats tomato soup, so he'll get it as part of his lunch one day this week. :)

Had I thought about it, I'd have added the tomato soup to our beef barley soup today, figuring it would add a bit more to the base.

Wrap it in foil and put it in a warm oven for about 15-20 minutes. It'll reheat nicely.

I cook 80% of my stovetop meals in cast iron, and have for 35 years. I don't know how you survive without even one.:confused: The only things that don't get cooked in or on cast iron are pretty much soups/stews/beans.
