The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for April 27, 2020

Too much cheese and not enough butter on the outside of the bread…

It’s a non-stick pan. Technically, you should be able to have the cheese on the outside and the butter on the inside and it still shouldn’t stick.

How old is the pan? If you tend to scrub it when you wash it you could scrub the non-stick coating right off.

Some non-stick coatings become clogged with cooking spray and cease to work.

He probably put the cheese on the outside of the bread.

Think about your name!

What I want to know, or maybe I’m better off not knowing, is what would Gordon Ramsay say?

There’s enough fat in cheese to form its own non-stick barrier…

When we have Raclette the trick is not to overcook the cheese… slip it off the non-stick tray while it’s still liquid…

Still at sea, eh, Thornapple? Tsk, tsk.

Never flip an open grilled cheese sandwich

Those non stick pans are all a joke.. they work for a couple of weeks and then don’t. And the ones with a warranty.. want you to ship it.. at your expense.. where they may.. or may not (likely) replace it.

I got a new non-stick crepe pan. The first couple of uses they flew right off onto the stove.

Still need to give it a push with a non stick spatula.

The secret is on the temperature. If the pan is not hot enough it will stick.

Face it, some people just don’t have the aptitude to cook. And if you’re known as the born loser, it probably comes with the territory.

Ooh, I know the feeling! Do have one pan, granite texture, that does not stick…my favorite!;-D it’s heavy, but great!

A chef’s hat and apron to make grilled cheese? Ok!

Never use cooking spray on a non-stick pan. the spray kills them.

While working in Customer Service and Product Information for QVC, I learned that using cooking sprays on non-stick surfaces results in pitting of the surface, ruining its non-stick properties.

Maybe you overcooked your grilled cheese sandwich.

Huh? Why fry cheese to grill it?
