Kitchen Tip Tuesdays: Crispy grilled cheese sandwiches

Here's how we keep our grilled cheese sandwiches from getting soggy while we get ready to eat:

We use a wire cooling rack (the one in the picture has a plate under it to catch the crumbs). We like our grilled cheese to be crisp (and not soggy!). :)

Soggy or crispy...grilled cheese is good to me. :-)

Bless you!

Great tip. Thanks Tammy for hosting too - it is a lot of fun to get good ideas for the kitchen. I like the plate under the sandwiches! I would have never thought of that.
