The ultimate grilled cheese sandwich

My passionate argument that toasted is the more appropriate label rather than grilled is what won my wife's heart for me. She still says grilled, but mostly out of habit.

And Surfah's right, sammiches it is.

your wife is up in the night. if something is cooked in a pan, it is not toasted.

You would be correct to call them fried cheese sammiches. Or seared cheese sammiches.

I think we can both agree that "grilled" is not the correct term of art.

Listen dude, I used a dictionary and everything. The bread, by whatever method, reaches a state of toastyness and is thus toasted.

Agreed, grilled is wrong.

Perhaps we should just keep it simple and call them Maillard convection cheese sammiches.

Wouldn't it be more correct to call them Maillard REACTION cheese sammiches?

The youngest boy just calls them melted cheese sandwiches.

good point. it has been years, so cut me some slack.

Isnt reaction the entire process? convection is the movement of heat to cook the bread?

Look, the point is that they aren't grilled and we seem to both be on the same page on that one.

As to your question, I have no idea. I had to look it up after you posted it.

I cant remember which chem class it was, but the lab guy shows up with all this food and he tells us that we are going to learn about maillard convection (maybe it was reaction, like i said....it has been over a decade). We made toast, biscuits and had a nice little snack.

I have no idea who maillard is.
