| 3732.1 | Hmmm | AKOCOA::BBAKER |  | Wed Jan 13 1993 11:12 | 6 | 
|  |     Yes, I've had this happen when I've made them. Ideas? Other than make
    your sandwich last (i.e. make your soup first, get your chips, drink,
    etc. ready while the sandwich is cooking), I have no ideas.
    
    Sorry!

| 3732.2 | Cooling rack..!! | BSS::GROVER | The CIRCUIT_MAN | Wed Jan 13 1993 11:17 | 5 | 
|  |     Place the sandwich onto a cooling rack, during the time you are fixing
    your soup..... Then transfer to a plate when ready to eat.

| 3732.3 | toast first | CADSYS::HECTOR::RICHARDSON |  | Wed Jan 13 1993 12:03 | 5 | 
|  |     Toast the bread lightly first.  Though I must admit I don't usually
    make grilled cheese; I broil slices of toast with cheese on them
    instead.

|  |     I make them in a fry pan. If I'm doing something else when their done 
    I just turn down the heat and leave em in the pan keeps em hot and
    ready!
    
    Have you tried tuna melts? mmmmm. Just put some drained tuna on the
    cheese.

    Really, a cooling  rack is a good idea, and you could make one easily
    from  popsicle sticks (I'm serious, they're just the right length,
    cheap, and easy to work with) and a hot glue gun.  You can buy bags of
    them at a crafts store.  (You could even color them with vegetable dyes
    made from spinach, beets, and carrots)

|  |     I make my daughter's daycare grilled cheese lunch this way:
    
    1.  Put 2 slices of bread in toaster oven.  Cover 1 slice with cheese.
    2.  Toast until cheese softens and bread starts to crisp.
    3.  Put bread together to make sandwich.
    4.  Either leave in toaster oven, door open, or lean it up against
    something to cool.
    5.  When cool, place in sandwich bag.
    6.  Store at room temperature until lunch.  Can be reheated in
    microwave.
    
    Works fine for me.  You could spread bread with butter or margarine if
    you wanted a higher-fat version.

    Simple.  Heat the plate.  The sogginess is caused by putting the hot
    sandwich on a cold plate.  This is particularly true when taking a
    plate out of the cupboard on an outside wall in Winter.
    
    One of the tricks I use is to put the plate on top of the sandwich
    after it's been turned.  This not only warms the plate, but presses
    down on the sandwich causing some cheese to ooze out onto the griddle
    and get that nice crunchy texture.  Either that or put it on the
    radiator while the sandwich is cooking.

    Another way to heat up plates is to put them in the disk washer
    	and put it on dry/heat cycle for a couple of minutes.

| 3732.9 | Good solutions, problem solved, Thanks! | TLE::PERIQUET | Dennis Periquet | Thu Sep 22 1994 14:39 | 8 |

    Thanks for the advice.  I got one of those screens that you can place a
    hot sandwich on and let cool while letting air pass through the bottom. 
    I just tried it out last night and it worked nicely.  I'll try heating
    the plates next time -- good idea.
