Anyone ever try to make a grilled cheese sandwich doing this?

[JimBianchi]

I have used mayo, you must use it very sparingly.

Prefer butter.

I love butter, but use mayo when grilling sandwiches. It works very well. Just don't use low fat mayo, it will stick.

OK, I have researched this burning topic and have boiled it down in terms of firearms which is the subject that brings us all to this forum.

The average sized person burns about 100 calories walking 1 mile or 5,280 feet. Dividing by 10, you would then burn 10 calories walking 528 feet. The difference between butter and mayo is roughly 10 calories, so if you walk 528 feet you have virtually burned off the extra calories.

If you go to the range and set up your target at 100 yards, or 300 feet, you will walk 600 feet setting up your target thus easily burning 10 calories. When you walk out and retrieve your target, you will walk another 600 feet (out and back) thus burning an additional 10 calories.

So based on the above, you may eat your grilled cheese sandwich with a pat of butter on each side as long as you go to the range afterwards and shoot a target at 100 yards.

There you go. Now who said that firearms are not healthy and essential to successful weight management.

I just read that if you are not wanting to gain weight using butter to make em with? it was suggested you do a this: Instead of butter, spread mayo evenly on one side-put that side down in pan (of course) and they said it spreads more evenly than the butter does and it tastes better cause of the egg in the mayo makeup. Hmmm, guess ill try that some time?

WHAT !!!!! you mean to say there is ANOTHER WAY to make a grilled cheese ???????

I've tried it and couldn't tell the difference.

I do a 50/50 mix of American and finely grated cheddar

Calories?

I heard that the calories don't count if everybody at your table eats the same thing.

I happen to love the grilled cheese sandwich but I try not to have more than three or four in a calendar year. For those needing to bulk up like Elvis Presley, you need to graduate to fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Heck, you can hang a lot more accessories on a size 48 belt than you can on a size 32 belt.

I toast the bread, put on the cheese and a slight smear of mayo or Miracle wimp and microwave until the cheese melts.

Ever wonder why all the good stuff is bad for you?

 

[chaparrito]

First: If you think butter makes you fat you haven't been keeping up. Look instead at the potatoes, bread, biscuits, pancakes and noodles you put it on. Fat doesn't make you fat.

Now then, I use mayo on grilled cheese in place of butter, it's easier to spread evenly and crisps the bread better and faster. The difference in calories is inconsequential. Grilled cheese isn't exactly diet food to begin with.

 

[eveled]

My mom uses mayo inside the sandwich and butter on the outside. When they are cooked you can almost see through them.

For a real healthier alternative, toast the bread so it's crispy, put the cheese in the middle then microwave for just long enough to melt the cheese.

No butter or Mayo and pretty good. If you have a toaster oven you can melt the cheese in there instead.

Spreading butter...microwaves...toasters???? How is it possible that so many people have no idea how to make something as basic as a grillt cheese sammich

 

[the ringo kid]

Sorry Ringo, but I could never deviate from one of my favorite sammiches. I may not live forever but when I go at least I'll know what a REAL grilled cheese sammich tastes like. If somethin' ain't broke don't fix it.

I got home so late last night that I forgot to try it but, I will before the weekend is done. I made sure I had some Kraft Mayo in the fridge. Now if I can only remember to get some other cheese to go with it s I can make a multi cheese sammich. ) I kinda wonder who invented the mayo part though?

 

[the ringo kid]

No mayo for me on any sandwich.
Down here in S/W Missouri folks use it like we use ketchup & mustard in Chicago.
Mayo on grilled cheese, hamburgers, ham sandwich, fries you name it.
Good thing hot dogs aren't popular down here.
I'd lose my lunch seeing a dog with mayo being eaten.

Heh heh, I got used to eating fries with mayo when I was in Germany, and sometimes still do-though with ketchup too. Hotdogs, love mayo on them, but will do ketchup too. The only item I can have mustard on-is hamburgers. I kinda got used to it.

I believe someone from california made up the recipes I read? One included avacado and some other weird stuff as different grilled cheese sandwiches-including tofu. YUK....

I wonder what one would taste like using that seasoned Italian bread dipping oil??? Hmmmm, I have two types too. I may need to get a loaf of Texas Toast, bread though?

 

[Scionti95]

Mayo is the only thing my wife uses when making grilled cheese sandwiches. "Dukes" brand of course. Mayo's them up, put them on the griddle on our gas stove and best ever. Would never go back to butter.

 

[Marshwheeling]

Never used mayo. But down south you would have to use Dukes. Grill a pimento cheese sandwich.

Never saw Duke’s in Minnesota before last Thursday, but I picked up a jar when I saw it. No occasion to use it though, so no review yet.
