I feel like mine’s the opposite… the first side is perfect and then I overcook the second because the pan got hotter
“It’s still salvageable…! I’ll just scrape off the dark bits, I’m sure I won’t even taste it!”
For real, though, TRY MAYO IN PLACE OF BUTTER. Trust me! You can still always add butter, but if you spread a little mayo on each side before the pan, it’ll give picture perfect results every time and is much less finicky than butter.
I burn both sides. I like mine nice and crunchy.
sigh

From a few years ago.
I think you read the instructions wrong you were meant to make grilled cheese not charcoal.
Jokes on you, I burn both sides! But I like it like that.
mayo. the trick is to use mayo. (on the outside, silly)
Do you still use butter too?
nope. just mayo
i know its not much, but i can make a perfect one.
let me have this.
Air fry it.
You turn the heat off as soon as you flip the sandwich over. Then you can leave it for as long as you want and it’ll still be cooked just right.
Just add another slice of bread and stick it into a pannini press.
