    I've eaten more grilled cheeses in the last month than I have the collective rest of my life.

    I hate you all-

    Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.

    But the grill is on the list

    I make fresh butter with my kitchenaid from heavy whipping cream.

    For cheese I sandwich 1 slice of american between 2 thin cut provolone slices.

    And make it on regular sliced honey wheat bread. This combination has me in a trance. I have eaten 2 grilled cheeses a day for a week. This was breakfast.

    Well thanks for being honest.  No doubt I would do the same.  I'm concerned this griddle could very likely kill me if I get one.

    I just made burgers for the first time.  They were really good, but my bun was a little soggy.  I used 80/20 and transferred them right from the griddle to the bun.  I shook them off a bit with a slotted spatula.  

    Just curious how you guys handle this?  @Cazzy- do you rest the burger before putting it on the bun?

    Make your griddle toast or buns first and set aside.  Then, do your burgers.  It honestly goes superfast so I find I get a better toast this way. Also, clarified butter is your friend.  When you construct your burger, make sure your lettuce is touching one of the buns.  I normally like lettuce on the top, but it is more useful on the bottom as that is the bun that will sog.  Ultimately, try not to build your burgers too soon and that will keep the integrity a lil better.  You can put the buns in a warmer after you toast them.

    Oh, also, when you pull them off, put them on a cooling rack.  They make some that will fit right on a 1/2 or full sheet pan. That will let the patty dry off a lil bit.

    Dammit!  Spent an hour at lowes this morning designing new cabinet layout. Walked past it twice.  Made sure to point it out. "So that's the famous griddle?"

    biding my time....

    Damnit. Got my wife on board, just to go back to the bed bath and beyond website and its backordered again. Then look back at the coupon and it says in store only. I'm down for the $240, but back on the fence at the $300 everyone else wants. Call me cheap.

    ON the buns - I have used butter on the bun like a grilled cheese and I have done dry buns on a dry griddle (the grease/oil just makes it soggy). I like the butter effect, but the dry griddle / bun toasts it nicely with less calories.

    I've been watching this thread for a while, and I'm pretty much sold.  I've told the wife that this is what I want for Christmas this year.

    In the mean time, I'll keep staring at all the food pron streaming on the thread...

    I went into my local Lowes, I lied, told them the nearest Bed, Bath, Beyond was 50miles away with the griddle in stock and I didn't feel like driving that far.  They gave me 10% off, so I walked out of there with the griddle for 291.00 after tax.  Good enough for me, and not having to wait on BBB to fill an order.

    Free sammich tip for you griddle cowboys...

    make ya up a couple of nice smash burgers, lots of cheese on 'em, instead of a bun, use a nice crispy grilled cheese on either side of the patties for your bread.

    Glorious.

    Chili dogs are pretty good off of the griddle.  It's nice to get home from work at 7 and be eating by 7:20.
