Why the heck use the MW (er, microwave, not Miracle Whip - grin) in the
first place to make or augment any grilled cheese sandwich?! The MW
doesn't seem it would save all that much time, and sure as heck, it (the
MW) changes the texture of the 'original' finished product, IMHO. I
don't "cook" anything in a MW <G>. Mostly, I reheat leftovers and use
it to boil water and heat milk+cream to make mochas.

The next time I make a grilled cheese sandwich, I want to use mayo
instead of butter as the 'outside' lubricant on the bread instead of
butter. I recently watched a 'spot' on TV where that 'substitution'
trick was used, and it looked interesting try.
