If you live by the motto, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” you’re finally being rewarded for hanging onto that vintage toaster. The reward comes to you in the form of an instant grilled cheese sandwich via said toaster.
While you might have already caught onto this lil’ gimmick, Grilled Cheese Social provides detailed step-by-step instructions for making a legit grilled cheese sandwich. Basically, you just tip the toaster on its side and voila! (See above for visual grandeur.) While this doesn’t require that you grease a pan or pick up a spatula, there may be some kinks to work out. For example, if you have a new toaster which clasps the piece of toast upon pulling the lever then this process will not work. An older toaster without this super advanced technology allows the bread topped with cheese to freely heat inside the scorching confines. Another thing to keep in mind is that a toaster laid horizontally means that your grilled cheese will fly out horizontally, as in across the room. Keep an eye on it, unless you like the taste of floor, of course.

good idea
“Another thing to keep in mind is that a toaster laid vertically means that your grilled cheese will fly out vertically”
I believe you mean horizontally.
I tried this. Didn’t think to clean out the toaster. Toaster caught on fire along with paper towels. It was not a success.
