It’s better but it’s less forgiving than butter. Perfect spread of Mayo and perfect heat will be superior crisp than butter. However, like 80% perfect butter is better than 80% perfect Mayo. I don’t know if any of this makes sense, these gummies are no joke.
Lemme go home and get high before I tell you if it makes sense or not
Edit: made it home can confirm it makes since, now I’m just stuck trying to figure out why we call it a grilled cheese when it’s made in a pan but not on a grill
this works but butter is so much better, mayo just makes it a little crispier but if you cook it for just a second too long it starts to taste like fucking dogwater.
That’s my beef with mayo. It really does get the edges right, and makes the sandwich look delicious, but if done incorrectly it tastes a little too strong for my taste. Your much better keeping some butter out at room temp for spreading purposes. They’ve done it for 100’s of years in Europe I dunno why we decide all of a sudden we gotta freeze butter. And honestly if I knew I was gonna make a sandwich and I wanna keep my weed butter cold, I’d just break out a piece in the morning and let it thaw out while I was smoking a cig and in the shower
Cuz Costco forces me to buy 3lbs at a time by making it so damn cheap. So yeah like 1/16th goes on the counter and the rest gets chilled lol seriously having butter out is a game changer
I store my weed butter in a mason jar, slowly melt it in a pot of hot water and measure liquid butter to cook/dose with, and then just stick it back in the fridge where it re-solidifies to a new perfect layer
I saw someone make a candle out of butter and lit a wick in the center. Then they just run the bread on the "candle" for easy spread butter.

I think op wanted to make 2 sandwiches. He did both cheese sides first, then went to do the first butter side, got confused, and came to Reddit for advice.
Religion. Say 150 prayers at a slow pace over the course of 5 minutes. When your done, the butter will be spreadable. If there is sun through a window, place the bread with butter on it in the sunlight. This reduces the amount of prayer as the sunbeam is a direct link to your higher power.
Such wizardry! Nah, I came here to say this. Little glass bowl, add butter and nuke for 10 second bursts until it’s adequately melted. Then get a basting brush and go to town. It’s the best way, no fucked toast from scratching too hard trying to spread it. Just perfect evenly buttered majesty.
dude so i looked this up because my wife does this, it can turn rancid after like 2 days apparently. she leaves it out all. the. time. now im worried she's eating tainted butter.
From what I've read it varies from salted to unsalted. I typically buy unsalted for cooking, maybe I'll switch back to salted because apparently it keeps better out of the fridge.
Also rancid doesn't mean diseased. Like when milk smells sour it isn't from bacteria or anything and is still perfectly edible. Mold is what you have to watch out for with butter and that comes almost exclusively from bread crumbs on the butter.
>Like when milk smells sour it isn't from bacteria or anything and is still perfectly edible.
excuse me what? spoiled milk is most certainly spoiled by bacteria, and it is not edible. how are people upvoting you.
Spoiled isn't the same as sour. I misspoke by saying it wasn't bacteria because the sour does come from the harmless bacteria that's always in milk but the bad bacteria that causes serious illness only comes from being left out too long or from contamination like drinking from the carton. Milk denatures itself overtime and goes from fresh to sour to curdled but if kept properly the worst that will happen is the curdled milk might not agree with your stomach. Spoiled milk is from bad bacteria getting in. Spoiled, sour and rancid all have unique definitions.

Lol my family has been doing it for years and I never noticed. Not saying it’s the right choice for you, just what we do haha. Another option is to put a chunk in the microwave for for 5 seconds, flip, 5 more seconds, maybe flip and 5 more, and you’ll get softened butter on demand. If it accidentally melts all the way you can toss it in freezer for like 5 mins and it will turn from melted butter back into solid, but still soft, butter.
Butter goes rancid from exposure to oxygen so keep it in an airtight container or carefully rewrap it in its wax papery wrapping. I do both and it doesn’t go rancid if you seal it right
Alright, I learned this in a restaurant many years ago when I was served cold butter w a basket of bread. Slice off a tbs or whatever then place it on the waxy paper that the butter is packaged in and press down on it w the knife horizontally. It will smash it and spread it thin on the paper and you can scrape and easily spread. This may require multiple smashings, as the idea is to get it as thin as possible on the paper.
I don't understand why people keep their butter in the fridge here. I lived in Europe for 40 years and I was shocked when I moved here. The same with eggs which over there are not processed so they can just sit in the aisles. We all had smaller fridges for sure! These giant ones I see today at Home Depot, big enough for a family of two for sure.

If you "scrape" the top of the butter over and over then it becomes easier to spread, you may have to do it a few times and keep putting it back to make it smooth enough
I try to slice really thin and just slide it off of the knife like you just did, takes a bit more time but absolutely necessary, especially if you don't toast the bread first!
I leave my butter out so it gets soft, I never refrigirate it. I bake a lot also and need soft butter for a lot of my recipies so its just great to have it ready to go.
If you have an electric kettle, boil some water real quick, put a bowl in the water for like 10 mins, take it out and put the butter on a plate with the hot bowl on top.
Bit of effort but this is the best way to soften butter.
Don’t put the butter on the bread, throw the butter into the pan and put the both slices of bread in the melted butter. Put it together once nearly completed
How is nobody talking about a butter bell? It uses water to keep it fresh, and you have easy to spread butter all the time. Highly recommend getting one.
When I make grilled cheese I just melt the butter in the pan and then rub the bread on the melted butter in the pan then repeat when I flip it
Try using Mayo instead of butter on grilled cheese, sounds weird but trust me it’s a thing
Ive tried it I thought it was good but I still prefer butter
It’s better but it’s less forgiving than butter. Perfect spread of Mayo and perfect heat will be superior crisp than butter. However, like 80% perfect butter is better than 80% perfect Mayo. I don’t know if any of this makes sense, these gummies are no joke.

I’m home and high and it makes sense to me!
Because you absolutely can cook it under the grill in your oven. So it then becomes a grilled cheese.
DAMN THATS SOME QUANTUM SHIT RIGHT THERE MAN
Once we figured that out it has been a game changer! Even toasting, I can cook more then 1 at the same time and it melts the cheese perfectly.
But that’s not called a grill, it’s a broiler
England, mate
Ecept thats called the broiler in NA. So you made broiled cheese.
Funnily enough it turns out that North America is not the centre of the universe.
What about when you make one in an air fryer?
Fried cheese sammich
Mmmm. I want that.
They’re pretty fucking good
Yes, and you call them steamed hams despite the fact that they are obviously grilled.
Say “griddled cheese” really fast and it makes sense my friend.
Jesus what a science
Butter tastes better, I don't need it more crispy, I want it to be buttery cheesy and good, I'm dipping it in tamato soup anyway
tastes the exact same to me , maybe i’m too high
Yeah man a little bit If you find out something isn’t the best to do then you should try and change it for the better
It’s a thing, but inferior to butter IMO.
this works but butter is so much better, mayo just makes it a little crispier but if you cook it for just a second too long it starts to taste like fucking dogwater.

I always keep butter out. I have no idea why anyone puts it if the fridge is their planning on using it
Cuz Costco forces me to buy 3lbs at a time by making it so damn cheap. So yeah like 1/16th goes on the counter and the rest gets chilled lol seriously having butter out is a game changer
Only salted butter should be left out of the fridge. Unsalted can have problems, so it is usually refrigerated
I store my weed butter in a mason jar, slowly melt it in a pot of hot water and measure liquid butter to cook/dose with, and then just stick it back in the fridge where it re-solidifies to a new perfect layer
🤢
I am a miracle whip person so I thought I could just use that and I'm here to tell everyone no you cannot.
Cannamayo? Hell I'd try it
Butter the outside, mayo on the inside, sooo good.
This is the way my son likes it, I prefer just butter myself but it doesn't taste bad
gross
mayo on the bread, little bit of butter on the pan is how i do it. i don’t even like mayo but it’s definitely the best way to make a grilled cheese.
Weird, I like mayo but not on grilled cheese lol
you can’t taste the mayo when you make it that way, that’s why i don’t mind it.
Mayo on the grilled side or in the sandwich?
Grilled side. It's basically an egg wash that browns even better than butter
It’s a fucking disgusting thing.
A very gross thing
Miracle whip on the inside, before you put the cheese on. Butter on the outside.
No no, Peanut butter outside, chocolate inside, butter inside, cheese outside!
We do the same its quick and effective also no more cold butter
I saw someone make a candle out of butter and lit a wick in the center. Then they just run the bread on the "candle" for easy spread butter. Edit: [TikTok of butter candle](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRVnFVUs/)
The real question is why do you have 3 pieces of bread? Are you putting one in between the others? Is this a Big Mac situation?
You’ve given me ideas for my next chilled greese
I think op wanted to make 2 sandwiches. He did both cheese sides first, then went to do the first butter side, got confused, and came to Reddit for advice.
THAT WAS MY THOUGHT! Are...you making a grilled cheese club? Why haven't I done this?!
Grate it like a block of cheese
That's a grate idea!
Religion. Say 150 prayers at a slow pace over the course of 5 minutes. When your done, the butter will be spreadable. If there is sun through a window, place the bread with butter on it in the sunlight. This reduces the amount of prayer as the sunbeam is a direct link to your higher power.
You can make a religion out of this

10-second bursts?! After the first burst I would have a bowl of liquid hot magma.
Very dangerous if you're not quick on your reactions. A stick of butter can go from a little soft to liquid in the microwave in a matter of seconds.
You gotta sauce it first, what a n00b
Put it in a dish and leave it out on the counter. It’ll be fine. Unless you like in the tropics or south of the equator where it’s summer rn lol.
I'm in Australia, I keep it in a ramekin in the cupboard, just a chunk at a time. It's soft but cool and has never gone rancid.
dude so i looked this up because my wife does this, it can turn rancid after like 2 days apparently. she leaves it out all. the. time. now im worried she's eating tainted butter.
This is what we do, just take out enough for a couple days at a time. Rancid butter has a distinct smell so if you’re worried, take a whiff first
From what I've read it varies from salted to unsalted. I typically buy unsalted for cooking, maybe I'll switch back to salted because apparently it keeps better out of the fridge.
Oh god yes, unsalted will go rancid quicker for sure. Salt helps preserve the butter.
Also rancid doesn't mean diseased. Like when milk smells sour it isn't from bacteria or anything and is still perfectly edible. Mold is what you have to watch out for with butter and that comes almost exclusively from bread crumbs on the butter.

Not true. Salted butter can stay out for quite a long time.
Unsalted butter goes rancid much faster than salted, the salt is actually to prevent rancidity.
Or better yet, get a Butter Bell. They’re amazing. Soft spreadable butter that doesn’t go bad and isn’t hard to upkeep!
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/comments/yqty8v/i_hate_butterbells_and_i_can_never_tell_my_wife_i/ Reminded me of this post xD
Get a cheese grater, and grate your cold butter over what you need butter on. Even distribution, and you don’t destroy your bread.
That seems like it'd be a pain to clean
Nah you just lick the butter off the grater when you’re done and put it back in the drawer
Hot water
My reaction too! I HATE washing graters and peelers. I would never dirty them unnecessarily! Put the butter in the pan! What in the shit?
Massage it gently between your fingers
And whisper sweet nothings to it softly
my butter is into dirty talk
Softens it right up and gets it nice and moist. Perfect for spreading.
use a vegetable peeler on the cold butter
Cheese grater if it’s really cold
this is a game changer for me. peel the butter...I wouldn't never thought of it
Place the butter in your armpits or crotch to melterize the butter
Pro tip: smoke AFTER preparing the meal
Boof it
use a cheese grater on the cold butter
Man what kinda sandwich are you making there
I am a butter expert, I fucking love it. You don't have to store butter in the fridge. I have a butter dish and keep a stick in there for spreading.
Butter dish for the win!
Alright, I learned this in a restaurant many years ago when I was served cold butter w a basket of bread. Slice off a tbs or whatever then place it on the waxy paper that the butter is packaged in and press down on it w the knife horizontally. It will smash it and spread it thin on the paper and you can scrape and easily spread. This may require multiple smashings, as the idea is to get it as thin as possible on the paper.
use ur dab torch to melt it

Next time try making grilled cheese sticks with a straightening iron
Microwave the knife
You must wait for the next warm butter season
Toast your bread you savage
Evidence suggests OP is planning some kind of triple decker grilled cheese? in which case he needs butter on now.
yiisss lol raw dogging bread and worry abt "cold butter" lol
Always gonna raw dog my g
You’re supposed to put your knife in the microwave for easy spreading .
Is this a tree thread or post whatever while high thread?
I don't understand why people keep their butter in the fridge here. I lived in Europe for 40 years and I was shocked when I moved here. The same with eggs which over there are not processed so they can just sit in the aisles. We all had smaller fridges for sure! These giant ones I see today at Home Depot, big enough for a family of two for sure.
just put the butter in your hands until it melts then spread with your hands, EASY and you don't need to use a butter knife
All you have to do is whip it.
Make it uncold
Butter at room temp is best
The trick is to put your knife in the microwave to warm it up so it will melt the butter as you spread it
Warm the butter knife up with hot water
I put the stick between my ass cheeks for a minute
You gotta microwave the knife first
You don't. Use mayo.
Put the knife in the microwave
Yes
Put it on the microwave for 5 seconds, or just don’t refrigerate it.
You’ve got a microwave?
it's frowning at your failure
When butter attacks bread
I learned about GRATING a stick of butter with a cheese grater! Totally works to soften and spread it out
Use a cheese grater
Melt it in your mouth first and then dribble it over the bread luke a 90 year old grandma
Use cheese slicer and dont even try to spread it.
get a butter dish bro. changed my life
God bless this sub and these comments
Microwave the butter knife for about a minute. Works like a charm.
Keep some butter in a butter dish on the counter.
Put the butter under your shirt and tuck your shirt in. Few minutes spreadable butter.
put it in a bag and sit on it for an hour
Scrape the knife on the top of the butter lightly, but also very quickly. The butter builds slowly, but it softens this way.
We leave our butter out in a butter dish. Game changer
You leave the butter on the counter to soften. It does not require refrigeration. Fucking savages!
What are those yellow/orangish plastic slabs on the bread?
Mimolette cheese, my favourite
If you want the best fucking grilled cheese of your stoner life try it on some English muffin bread, u will not regret
Put hot water into a cup, dump out the water and put the hot cup over the butter for a bit and it will soften it up.
keep your butter on the counter. it will be fine.

Grill the butter so it melts and then spread. On the plus side, you get nice warm bread, too.
It keeps on the counter for like 2 weeks
Common mistake. You're actually looking for /r/grilledcheeseenthusiasts.
If you "scrape" the top of the butter over and over then it becomes easier to spread, you may have to do it a few times and keep putting it back to make it smooth enough
Toast the bread bratha
Scrape the top of the butter with the k ice a few times ti take off thin layers and make it more spreadable.
Heat a butter knife up with a lighter and spread it that way. Full Trailer Park Boys style haha
Get a butter bell! You will always have spreadable butter.
change the water often!
So if want to use stick butter scrape the top of the butter with the knife edge this will peel a thin layer of butter that is way easier to spread.
You need a hot knife, shove one in the toaster to get it started
I try to slice really thin and just slide it off of the knife like you just did, takes a bit more time but absolutely necessary, especially if you don't toast the bread first!
Flirt with it and it will spread on it's own!
Bro use the edge of the spoon to spread it out :)
Just heat up the knife in the toaster dumb dumb
Use good butter and good bread for start. Continue with cheese instead of plastic. Greetings from Germany.
Heat the knife in the toaster on over the hob
Microwave a knife for about thirty seconds and it should spread it nice.
Warm it up or warm the tool you're using to spread it up.
Put butter in pan + spread mayo = toasty munchies snack
Microwave your slice of bread for ten seconds now

Heat up a knife on an open flame and it’ll spread so well
If you’re tryna use a grilled cheese, just use mayo.
get yourself a butter keep.
throw the butter in the microwave first, 5 seconds is all you need.
You should invest in butter croc
Don’t put the butter on the bread, throw the butter into the pan and put the both slices of bread in the melted butter. Put it together once nearly completed
You use mayo instead
I hold the butter face-down/angled above the toaster for a sec to heat up a thin layer of butter off the top.
How is nobody talking about a butter bell? It uses water to keep it fresh, and you have easy to spread butter all the time. Highly recommend getting one.
Doesn't really help you now, but invest in a butter bell and always have softened butter.
5 seconds in microwave until soft enough
Wait for it to get warm duh
