Iron your way to a grilled cheese sandwich

grilled cheese iron We love grilled cheese here at Slashfood, but we understand that not everyone has the money or the space for a big panini press to make fancy grilled cheese sandwiches. Heck, if you're a college student, you might not even have a stovetop to do it in a pan. Well, if you're in a pinch, SouthPhillyBlocks has a photo essay on how to make a grilled cheese sandwich with an iron. Not a cast iron skillet, but a clothes iron. Like the kind you use to press your shirts.

Using the iron is not a new idea, but SouthPhillyBlocks isn't just the photo tutorial. They treated it like an experiment, and found that the Wool setting is the best one to make a grilled cheese.

The rayon setting, however, didn't work as well.

If I continued through the crust I would end up with two very thin slices of bread (I hope that's clear). Place your favorite cheese between the slices and place in the toaster. Setting #4 in my toaster and you have a perfect toasted cheese sandwich. Which is also the perfect amount of time to prep some microwaved tomato soup.
1 14oz can crushed tomatoes
1 T olive oil
1 t dried oregano
Place all ingredients in bowl and micro for 2 min.
