Tramontina Series 1000 Cast Iron Grill Pan w/ Press, 11" SKU: 07-2225

Congratulations to Maria Manuel! We were going to award the prize to Cate, but it was brought to our attention that the recipe she posted was directly pasted from Cookin Canuck's blog. Although we didn't say it had to be completely original, the recipe needed to not be directly pasted from another person's blog without crediting them. Maria Manuel, your sandwich incorporated unique ingredients and sounds delicious! Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us! Let us all know how the Tramontina grill pan and press works out for you in your grill cheese sandwich creations.

Now to the rest of the contestants, we randomly chose eight of you to receive our other prize of the Bialetti Cup and Saucer set. Congratulations to Julie Lloyd-Atkinson, Shannon, Cory Hoover, Mindy Babbitt, Jane, bakewithease, Erik Peterson and Scott Anderson! 

Those that won prizes, please email me at Melissa@cheftools.com your mailing address by Friday, April 12^th.

Tramontina Grilled Cheese Recipe Contest

National Grilled Cheese Day is April 12th. To celebrate we are holding a Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe Contest! Details are in the post below.

I am really excited about National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day because Grilled cheese is one of my favorite sandwiches. I love how many ways you can make it. I have sampled many fine versions of this lunchtime favorite. My first grilled cheese memory is my mom making me a grilled cheese sandwich with plain white Wonder Bread and Kraft American Cheese with a side of Campbell's Tomato Soup. I have since updated my go-to recipe to a more grown-up version. 

My Go-To-Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe

Take 2 slices of good sourdough bread, butter both sides, and place 1 slice of PepperJack cheese and 1 slice of Cheddar cheese in-between the bread. Place in a med-low heated skillet or grill pan and grill golden brown on both sides until cheese is melted. Sometimes I will add an extra kick with red pepper flakes. 

Pro-Tip: Make sure your butter is room temperature to make spreading easier, and also make sure your cheese is at room temperature. You don’t want your bread to burn before the cheese has melted. 

Serve with a side of tomato soup, recipe for that is here.

Tools you'll need to make this melting delight: A Tramontina Cast Iron Grill Pan and a Cuisipro Fiberglass Large Slotted Turner.
