When the toaster breaks..
Posted on: Tuesday, January 31st, 2006 at 10:38 PMI thought about having a cheese toastie this evening, but I forgot our toastie machine retired a long time ago. However I had a craving for one and I had to improvise.
Take 2 slices of bread. Grate some quality cheese on one slice. Place the other slice on top of the bottom slice of bread.
Now here is the impro..
Take a good quality electric iron. Dont put steam on.. heat it up to about 2 dots, then iron the bread carefully. Alternate between 1 and 2 dots for a few mins until crispy and cheese has melted.
I think the everyday iron could be used in other culinary techniques.

I know someone who used to lie their toaster on its side. I prefer the frying pan method.
