skiP.E.I.Gently flip it over and try to lift the pan off
evaroniI’m more concerned about the fact that you steamed a grilled cheese. Doesn’t the lid make it soggy?

RIP to all the good ones. The toasty, the cheesy, stuck inside the for ever domed grave. Grasped between the clutches of ceramic and iron. Though you are gone from us, your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Please join me in a toast of cheese to remember the good ones. Cheers!
ReturnToMonkeyNahh there's no water in there to make steam. I rub butter on the pan only and have both slices of bread face up with the cheese on top. On about 4/10 heat, covered, it takes approx 4 minutes to toast the bread and then the cheese is all but melted and when you put them together and gently press, the cheese fully melts p quickly. Once you get the timing down and find the right cheeses and breads, it makes the perfect grilled cheese. And it's open until the end so I can add hot sauce or eggs or whatever to make it a nice sammy.
grantlewis_dntmwhy didn't you smack the pan upside-down on the table top?! Or just use my method of opening things up
ReturnToMonkeyProbably will resort to using my gun. I don't want to damage the pan though.. yes it's still stuck
TRVP_ANGELHave you tried putting it in rice
DominatorJacquesDid you try the ice and heat I recommended?
ReturnToMonkeyIT WORKED MY SANDWICH IS FINALLY FREE
DominatorJacquesAwesome. Heat expansion and cool contraction!
Do I win the prize? ;-)

DominatorJacquesHa ha! Please no.
ReturnToMonkeySorry Jacques the sandwich is in fact on the way
DominatorJacquesPut it in the freezer. If it doesn't come loose, then put it on the burner with ice on top of the plate. It's an expansion contraction thing. Expand pan with heat. Keep plate cool with ice!
SkibumsmithBe careful with having the edges of the plate hot and the center cold. This is how you crack ceramic.
DominatorJacquesCan't say it's not true, but it was claimed to work.
DeebieSkeebiesI know a guy who had this happen to him. He needed a crane to get it off
DeebieSkeebiesIs it hard to cook with monkey paws?
ReturnToMonkeyOnly when it comes to lids
