When they say “watch out for the grilled cheese”... you really SHOULD watch out for the grilled cheese. (i.redd.it)

I usually stand on the side of the other oven when I take out a grilled cheese. Then I clamped on it hard with the tongs, hovering over the trash and gave it a few gentle shakes to let all the butter drip out. Hope this helps preventing this type of injury.

Thank you!!! It was during a rush and I totally wasn’t thinking, but I’m 100% “burning” this into my brain

Ouch! The double-smoked will startle you, but the grilled cheese can really hurt. I cook them butter-up and it’s usually not as bad or as smokey.

Not what I was taught, but each area does things differently

Ah. Grilled cheese butter down to melt the parm into it. And beef brisket butter up for some reason.

Every partner has been there, and you don’t normally take those warnings seriously until you get a burn like this

I was out for over two weeks because a grilled cheese burnt my hand so badly. I got a new job not long after. I'm furious this sandwich is such a known danger and it hasn't been pulled. Yes food service is dangerous, but if this sandwich had burnt the shit out of a dozen customers, would it still be available? Stay safe, y'all. And maybe complain about that dumb sandwich on partner surveys.

I have scars from chocolate croissants and the cheese from spicy chorizo sandwiches 😥 grilled cheese scares the sh*t out of me.

I have scars on my arm from a double smoked bacon grease burn almost 2 years ago. I had been clocked in for 10 minutes.

Damn dude I hate that I can relate! A grilled cheese butter burn I got a month ago has finally had the scab fall off but the new skin is still soft and pink.
Best of luck healing!!
