Microwaved american cheese on a tortilla for 4 minutes

Processed American cheese is indestructible. Four minutes in the microwave? Nothing more than the kiss of a light breeze to patriot cheese.

Throw a slice on a hot flat top grill. It will eventually melt, but it will maintain its square shape. From there it will be a contest of will between you and the cheese as to who will break first.

4 minutes....I can only imagine the immediate CRONCH when that tortilla starts cooling within 15 seconds...ugh. Not a good cronch either, it'll be leathery and crunchy in all the wrong places! D:

It was either crispy or soft surprisingly. The outer one was like a softer water cracker.

Um, no way to really describe it, it's just flour and water so they are harder but not necessarily crispier? Idk anything comparable other than my tortilla

bro that sounds like a masterpiece lol like melt city on a tortilla… gotta give it a try, do you dip it in anything?

I would not suggest it or at least ensure the middle has full coverage. There was a gap of cheese and that caused the crunch dome

A petri dish overflowing of something vigorously growing on it.

It stops being American cheese at 3 mins 30 secs.

It looks like a gigantic zit. I feel sick looking at it.

If that’s what your zits look like then you should seek immediate medical attention.

What made you choose 4 minutes when 45 seconds to a minute would have been enough to melt and possibly start to burn the cheese?

i wanted to see what it was like if it microwaved more. It wasn't too bad except the very center.

Four minutes is for cheddar, American cheese doesn't let the grease boil out the right way, too emulsified.

Personally I like some crunchy cheese

Yeah that's what I was going for, blending into the tortilla and crisping up, it kind of worked but not really too

What surprised me when I first ordered quesadillas in Mexico is they'd cook the cheese directly on the gridle or pan then add the tortilla later. I remember the cook asking me if I like the cheese browned (I forget the exact word) and realized I never even realized that was an option.

But anyhow, next time you may want to try that to avoid overcooking the tortilla at the same time. Though I did go to a place where they left the tortilla covered with the cheese on the grill long enough it was all brown and crunchy and that was pretty good too.

I thought about doing that, it's so good. I was just being lazy. At one point I actually posted a quesadilla with the tortillas were that crispy pan cheese. It was actually really good, just a bit greasy.
