NOTE: I actually made this yesterday.
I’ve never seen tomato soup look like that, canned or not. It looks super diluted and very weird in colour. It looks more like a weirdly dark strawberry lemonade or something.
I like the crimped edges of the grilled cheese
That has its own benefits, for sure. I have been known to use a press or even a toaster oven as well.
However, grilled cheese for me is similar to cooking an egg. It’s the purest form of cooking and it’s an art form that is easy to screw up.
The butter to bread ratio needs to be perfect and the bread needs a perfect toast in a pan. In rare cases I’ll use some good cheeses, but American cheese is the only one that truly works. Butter the pan, not the bread. Keep the sammich moving at all times while it cooks. Timing is paramount for the toast.
If that makes the grilled cheese any better, I really don’t know. There is, in measurable quantities, more love added to it, so by default, it’s better.
Do you have the recipe for that canned tomato soup that you made?
What do I do with the stuff thats in the can though? I could just pour it down the drain, I suppose.
That looks like a baked cheese, not grilled.
To be fair, most grilled cheese typically isn’t grilled either, it’s fried.
Baked it wouldn’t be in contact with the cooking surface on both sides.
I’d say more of a panini-style grilled cheese. Probably damn tasty.
It doesn’t look like it was in contact with any cooking surface at all on the side we can see and we can’t see the other side at all, so I don’t know how you made the jump to panini, lol. It looks dry and sad.

Most people butter the bread and turn it inside, against the filling. The trick for the crispiest toastie is to turn the buttered side on the outside.
Because it’s made in a sandwich maker - it clearly was pressed in one.
Not sure what you’re seeing.
Grilled cheese looks delicious
