If you're a student living on a budget, there's nothing like a couple slices of cheese on toast to get you through the morning right? But if you don't have a grill it can be tricky to make one due to the way gravity works!
If you have a normal toaster, gravity causes the cheese to melt down inside it and you end up with a glob of melted cheese at the end of your toasty. Not good!
But with this little
life hack, you can turn your bread toaster into a mini grill and make the perfect cheese on toast with it without making a mess of things.
- All you have to do is turn the toaster on its side.
- Carefully slide the cheese sandwich into the toaster.
- Then carefully turn the toaster on by pressing down on the handle.
And voila! Perfect cheese on toast in a toaster!
Tips: It's best that you only do one slice at a time. And this isn't a recommended long term solution. Most toasters are made out of plastic such as cheap Argos toasters and doing it "
too much" could cause it to catch fire! In fact, if you probably shouldn't even try this unless you have a
CO2 fire extinguisher handy.
You don't want to happen what happened to
Suzanne Dale from England who set fire to her toaster trying this.
One minute she was looking forward to a bit of grilled cheese, the next she was throwing a flaming toaster out the window. She
posted about on Facebook and was met with much scorn in a post that went viral last year.
That said, if you're not a complete idiot, you can probably use your toaster to make a slice or two of cheese on toast and you wont need to change the oven rack after.
Have you ever used a toaster to make grilled cheese on toast with?
What's your experience or opinion of this life hack?

So Mike not only have you provided me with a great way to make toast, you have also given me a good laugh which is good for the soul but most importantly you have also shown me how to make some of my content to go viral.
So not only must you have a fire extinguisher ready but the video camera must be set up and standing ready each and every time you make some cheesy toast. Then if anything goes wrong I can film the whole thing including throwing my flaming toaster out the window.
I don't mind at all if a post goes viral and people scorn me, that is like waaayyyy cool. Ok so I was loving this post and starting to wonder how much cheese I could pile onto one piece of toast (because I do love my cheese) without it causing a problem and then I scrolled down to see the burning toaster and I burst out laughing.
