Does the mayo work like butter for nonstick? I feel like it would stick to the pan - no?

Also, I hope I'm not the only one who does this. But try adding very thinly sliced onions to your grilled cheese. It sounds weird but I cannot have it without it anymore. It really gives it flavour.

Yeah, it works like butter but since its put directly on the bread it gets the bread crispier at which point the bread slides right off the pan

I don't like mayo so will be sticking with my butter.  My random question is:  I have always buttered the bread when making grilled cheese-is everyone else just buttering the pan?  That could be why it isn't crisp if you don't do the bread.

I butter the pan but mine end up crispy. It's too much work for me to spread it on the bread lol.

Who knew all the different ways to make grilled cheese. I always buttered the bread.

I tried mayo last night (was craving grilled cheese after this thread) but it burned it more. It did make it crisper so I have to try it again with lower heat to start next time. I couldn't taste the mayo but it did smell different when cooking them.
