OK well.....
I did it! lol I had to try it...I got hungry and the bread and cheese was there and the press was ready to receive.
My first attempt went sadly wrong. I put the sandwich between two sheets of paper......oops sticky. Most of the bread stuck to the paper or vice versa. I was able to peel some of it off and eat it though, hahaha.
The second attempt, I used one 15 X 15 Teflon sheet placed sandwich on it and folded the sheet over on top of the sandwich. I pressed, and let it go until I heard it sizzling. I raised the press, oops....too much pressure, the bread was everywhere and the cheese. I ate it though...and cleaned the sheet.
The third attempt...
Finally I used the Teflon sheet as before...and brought the top platen down with just slight pressure(sat it on top of sandwich). I allowed it to cook for 10 seconds.
Raised the press, flipped the sandwich and pressed(with slightly heavier pressure) for another 15 seconds. (I like my lightly toasted) WALA!! EUREKA!
Grilled Cheese sandwich in 25 seconds...
Just make sure your Teflon is clean folks, hahhaa. If you die from too much chemical exposure, it's not my fault, lol.
Alright Lunch is over!...now back to my regularly scheduled pressings.
I will make one and post a video on Youtube asap, hahaha.
hnmm, parchment paper...but would it stick to the bread? Regular paper did, lol.

Parchment paper is coated in silicone and is specially formulated not to stick to food. I use it to line my lasagna pan, and the lasagna comes right off. That should tell you something.
You can also use it for shirts if you don't have a teflon sheet.
