How to Make the Ultimate Grilled Cheese at Home | ChefSteps

This is not a recipe for a grilled cheese. Who needs that, right? Everyone knows how to make a grilled cheese sandwich: Slap some slices of cheese between two pieces of bread and griddle that thing in a pan with a bunch of butter until the cheese melts and the bread is golden brown and delicious. Easy. So easy, in fact, that it’s the first thing a lot of us learned how to cook on our own as kids.

Instead, we want to show you how to make the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich.

This is just another level of perfection

For everyone at home, you can make your own sodium citrate by reacting baking soda and a solution of citric acid in a pan on low/medium heat. You can use lime/lemon juice too, but you will get the flavor of the juice(minus the acidity since the baking soda neutralizes it) in your final dish, which can be very nice for a queso or fondue! Happy cooking! 😊

Love these longer, more detailed videos🎉

I attempted to do the square bread thing with a milk bread recipe and a covered pullman pan like you use....about twice the length of your pan (USA-PAN?). I thought I had calculated this recipe to scale for this pan but I was in for a surprise. I heard a loud POP from the oven and this bread blew the cover off sideways. No damage to the pan or the oven and the bread tasted great. Made some Monte Cristo type three layer Sammies with some process cheese I dunt with a Joule and some fancy melting salts from Modernist Pantry, and a lot of muffin rings, and three types of cheese. Yeah like one day making sandwiches but the experience was great. Love your channel.

I would've made sandwich #1 and be proud of myself 😭😭

[stuartdennis]

That making of the new cheese was fascinating

[Ghanshyam]

You made the ultimate delicious grilled cheese sandwich adding a lot of chees texture however this video will be levelled up in the kitchen fantastic video and extremely helpful for everyone thanks.

Love cheese, love bread but I agree. The deficits in the first two grilled cheese's definitely needed to be stated

[dannyboyNS]

No SMPH? Do you not like using it as an emulsifying salt anymore or did you go with just Sodium Citrate for accessibility/not scaring off lay people?

[maryjohnking]

Thank you, ! Looks great. I've never really went nuts over them. But these seem doable and have the best of both worlds. Thank you again

"I'm not into that. I don't like holes."

Perfection. And hilarity.

Not a fan of cheese singles, but still another useful CS video. Using grilled cheese as a convenient way to examine the variable qualities of different breads and cheeses. Knowing more allows you to better decide how to create your own eating experience while cooking and baking.

That "American Cheesing" technique is brilliant.

[MikeTaffet]

The trick is to cook it open faced with a lid. Cooks the outer sides evenly, and the lid encourages the cheese to melt. Then you sandwich it and it glues itself shut with the melted cheese

Anyone any idea on the watch that he is wearing? Looks really clean👌🏾

I thought I was the only one singing Halo theme music while preping food😂 7:10

I like to slice the sandwich after the first flip. Melty cheese oozes out and crisps up 🤤
I'll also shred a bit of cheese and melt/crisp it up in the crust. Can't have too much cheese!

[ottopetren]

Love the bracelet! Where can I get one?

[jmlaw]

I made the manchego version of the cheese. It turned out much firmer than expected (sliceable with a knife) and did not melt quite like the video shows. as there are different ages of manchego, I wonder if mine was aged more than the recipe intended...
