It also makes a really good grilled cheese
Yea, people try to get fancy with regular cheese on grilled cheese sandwiches and I hate it. Every one I've tried as soon as it cools off it gets weird and lumpy and gross. Kraft singles stay melty a lot better. Also great on egg sandwiches for the same reason. I do prefer regular cheeses on burgers though.
That's why you eat them hot. I never use "American cheese" of any variety in a grilled cheese, I almost always use cheddar, and occasionally throw in some form of jack (Monterey Jack, PepperJack, etc). The trick is to cook it on medium-low heat and cover with a lid so it thoroughly warms the sandwich, if you cook it too hot w/ the lid off, the cheese doesn't heat enough to properly melt.
There's a pretty small window between not burning yourself and it cooling to the point the texture gets weird. I don't like having to eat that fast.
Idk, they stay reasonably warm for like 15 minutes for me, which is plenty of time to enjoy eating it.
