And hurray for heat in the apartment!

I had a friend who used to get those bake-at-home pizzas like from Papa John's or whatever. He'd basically hermetically seal them up in foil, put them under the hood of his car, and drive around for a while. When he got home, it was perfectly cooked.

Oddly enough, no one questioned how he cooked them until he got a new car and he stopped doing it. xD

I tried that once in college, not the butter part it was an older iron but its still went soggy. Also don't try and egg either, it gets in the holes.
Happy Holidays to you guys, eat, drink, be merry and thankfully warm.

Uh, Goodwill usually has a selection of Foreman grills for cheap. And instead of butter, try lightly brushing olive oil on the bread. And use some Tillamook sharp cheddar.

Cheers!

It's also the key to hilarious situations.

Actually I think an iron would work way better than a hair dryer...
As long as you didn't use the steam function, and you put a piece of baking paper over the bread I don't see why it shouldn't work...

Happy belated Birthday, Conrad! May all your enemies erupt into coins after you beat them down.

As for the iron-grilled cheese, I think if you used a classic heated iron instead of a steamer iron, you MIGHT have a chance.....but then again, you'd probably get a nice big grease stain on the ironing board.

A friend of mine used to travel extensively for work, and came home to the hotel one night extremely late. The only store open in the town was a convenience store that sold tortillas, shredded cheese and aluminum foil, among other things. The hotel room had a free iron.

The rest is left as an exercise for the reader.

Thanks for the comics!

I would think a blow-dryer would make a melted cheese sandwich instead of a grilled cheese.

Done many times while traveling.

Agh, what is it with you all and food disasters? XD First the roasted peppers (mace) and the roasted garlic (smoke signals), now this...

It makes sense in theory but probably doesn't work in practice. Call Mythbusters and see if they'd do it! =D

Actually, that works really well, even with a new iron. You just have to wrap the sandwich in tinfoil.

I got your book but there's a typo on pages 124 and 125.
It's just a number switch, but shouldn't you have seen this already?

Iron-grilled cheese sandwiches are such a Benny and Joon moment!

Happy Birthday, Conrad!

Ahaha, the first thing I thought of was Benny and Joon. :3
I've made grilled cheese with an iron too! It's actually pretty easy. :3

Happy Birthday, C-MAN.

Yes you can! In fact i used to survive grilling on an iron while doing my internship. Just keep the iron upside down.

My photography professor told us that people had used the devices for heat welding mat board to foam core or whatever for making hot sandwiches.

Personally, I used a two-cup hotpot to heat the water to make two gallons of rice and raisin wine in my dorm.

That is how my mom made grilled cheese sandwiches when she was a broke college student. Wrapping the sandwich in foil and ironing it means it doesn't get soggy at all.

I....Love....you
also, it doesnt work unfortunatly ._.

I love the new sketches, can there be a new line of bookmarks please?

John: Can you make a grilled cheese with an iron?
Evan: Won't it get soggy?
John: I haven't the soggiest idea.
BAD PUN!!!!!

Do it!

Dooooo iiiiit!

It'll be crunchy and delicious and you won't regret it! DO IT!

True, Alton doesn't actually use an iron to make the Cuban in that episode, but he does say it can be done. Just be generous with the aluminum foil to keep things clean.

Wrap the sandwich in foil and you can iron it to make grilled cheese. Worked on a desk in my dorm :)

But... but you MUST DO SCIENCE TO IT

Best Idea Ever. (In your head of course)
Have a Merry Christmas :)
(Happy Birthday Connor :D )

"Or You Could Fill it With Butter" T-shirt, please?

After much consideration and the use of some ample free time, I've found that emptying the reservoir and adding butter spray (something like PAM) to the face of the iron works pretty well. Don't let it get too hot!

Makes for better quesadillas, though!

Now you've gone and given me bad ideas, and as a man of science I will not be able to rest at ease until I attempt this butter-in-the-reservoir experiment thingy. I think I will need to sacrifice an iron to this cause before I die, lest I be doomed to forever haunt college kitchenettes waiting for somebody else to be desperate enough to try it.

I'm all for destroying a few cheap irons for the sake of showmanship. I may have to try the iron technique at the next grilled cheese competition. Last year the blueberry goat cheese on cinnamon raisin bread ended up just tasting exactly like a bagel/cream cheese.

We mentioned our lack of heat last time - it's been fixed! Very fixed - I'm writing this in shorts.

While I'm certain we're all glad your adventuring party is no longer in danger of freezing to death, details as to your writing attire are not neccessary.

Just saying.

I made grilled cheeses in a rice cooker. That was difficult, but they turned out so delicious I didn't complain.

Now that the days are getting longer you can go to the roof of your building and do some experiments making grilled cheese with mirrors.

You don't need tons of mirrors. They just have to be the right size to completely line the interiors of two black-painted boxes which are open at the top. It doesn't matter if the mirrors are broken instead of precisely cut to the size of the boxes. You can take mirror shards and stick them to the box interiors with two-sided duct tape.

The inner box has to be just big enough for the grilled cheese. The outer box has to be at least a foot bigger than the inner box, in all directions.

You'll need clear glass for covering the top of each black-painted box. Again it doesn't have to be precisely cut.

Finally, wear sunglasses at all times during this experiment.

When in college, I used to make Ramen noodles with my coffee maker and eat right out of the carafe.

I believe that Johnny Depp made grilled cheese with an iron in Benny and Joon.... it worked out alright for him.

Though, he also made mashed potatoes with a tennis racket.

Its been done in that movie, it looked like it worked :D

The "correct" version of this just makes me die laughing! It's so good XD!

Happy birthday to Conrad! It was also my boyfriend's birthday, a friend of ours and my birthday as well! Almost coaxed the bar out of a free pitcher since it was all three of our birthdays. Hope Conrad had just as much fun as we did!

seriously sounds like something I would think up. although i don't think I would ever try it.

Congratz on the heating getting fixed and happy birthday Conrad!

on another note I got my NEWW sketchbook a few days ago and I love the sketch of death, he's having some trouble buttoning his cuffs, which I can never do by myself so I laughed when I saw it. I would have let you guys know it arrived sooner but I'v spent the last few days traveling to California and working on college essays so I'v been dead tired. Thanks for the wonderful sketch Yuko.
