I'm Frank Proto, professional chef and culinary instructor, and today I'm going to show you the best way to make grilled cheese at home, Frank style.
2
We're talking everything you need to know to make the crispiest, crunchiest, cheesiest grilled cheese sandwich you've ever had.
3
This is Grilled Cheese 101.
4
When you talk about grilled cheese, everyone has an opinion.
5
There are tons of variables when it comes to a really good grilled cheese.
6
You got your bread, you got your mayonnaise or butter, you have the cheese that you use as well.
7
I believe mine is the best.
8
The bread that I like to use for my grilled cheese has a very tight crumb.
9
Now, if you don't know anything about bread, the inside is the crumb.
10
I don't want lots of holes in here.
11
So the Wonder Bread is okay.
12
You know, it's a nice slice.
13
It's got a nice tight crumb.
14
I find that when you use this type of bread, the outside gets nice and crispy, but the inside gets a little pasty.
15
And I don't like the texture of it when it's cooked.
16
Versus this loaf.
17
This one's a little sturdier.
18
It's got a nice crust.
19
pretty tight and it's not mushy and it won't get pasty
20
when it's cooked sourdough is delicious
21
but once you start toasting it it's like razor blades on the roof of your mouth
22
and this also has a lot of air pockets in it
23
which for bread is great
24
but for grilled cheese isn't great the cheese just kind of slips through it's less of a sandwich
25
and more of crispy cheese with bread around it this bread
26
is kind of a nice marriage between a really nice loaf and a store -bought white All right,
27
it's time to get funky with the cheese.
28
I have a block of Gruyere cheese.
29
Gruyere cheese is Swiss cheese's stinkier, smellier cousin.
30
If you've never had it, it is delicious.
31
It's got some funk to it.
32
It's expensive, but what we're also going to use is something a little cheaper, American cheese.
33
Each of these cheeses have properties that I like in a grilled cheese sandwich.
34
The American cheese, nice and melty.
35
The Gruyere cheese, really flavorful.
36
and we have a really nice combination of cheeses.
37
We're gonna start out by shredding our Gruyere cheese.
38
We're gonna cut the rind off.
39
Whenever I grate cheese, I like to make a small piece, right?
40
This piece is really big and I have decent sized hands, but this one is just too big for my hand.
41
So I take a smaller piece of cheese and when I grate it, grate her on the side, not like this, I call that granny style.
42
I put the grater on the side, I hold the tray and the grater together and I push.
43
doing less work.
44
You're using your body weight, not necessarily your muscles.
45
I will never use pre -shredded cheese for these sandwiches
46
because pre -shredded cheese has things in there that stop them from sticking together, which also makes them not melt really great.
47
Not melty enough, not good.
48
Shred your own cheese.
49
What I'm looking to do here is get a nice crunchy exterior and a nice melty interior.
50
And everything medium low heat.
51
If I have it on high, my bread's gonna burn before my cheese is melted.
52
And then I'm gonna get some mayonnaise.
53
I hear all your haters out there.
54
Mayonnaise, not butter?
55
What are you, crazy?
56
Yes, I'm crazy.
57
Mayonnaise, in my opinion, is the better thing to use here for a grilled cheese.
58
It's got a little more zip, a little more flavor.
59
It doesn't burn like butter.
60
You brush it on the bread so that you get a nice even browning on your bread.
61
And then what I do .
62
that and I put it in my pan, right?
63
So the first layer's down.
64
And then I'm gonna add my American cheese.
65
And I'm not worried if my cheese overflows on the sides.
66
Part of the reason I'm using a non -stick pan is because I'm kinda hoping that happens.
67
So cheese kinda like goes over the sides, gets in the holes and gets super crunchy.
68
And I want little bits and pieces of that because I think it just makes the overall experience better.
69
So I'm gonna do about three slices Gruyere.
70
The fact that the Gruyere is shredded makes it melt a little quicker.
71
But I'm gonna try and go all the way up to the edges.
72
I like to season the inside of my sandwich with salt and pepper.
73
Cheese has a lot of salt content, but I think that a little more salt makes this all the more better, just to kind of bump up that cheese flavor.
74
I find just doing this or assembling it in the pan, you don't have to transport it.
75
It's just a lot easier to do it this way.
76
And then this goes on top, make sure that you match.
77
And now we wait.
78
The reason I like to do this over low heat is that it makes it more foolproof.
79
The bread's gonna cook slowly and crisp up.
80
The cheese is gonna melt all the way through.
81
It takes a little more time, but it's worth it.
82
How many times have you had a burnt on the outside grilled cheese with the cheese that's not melted in the middle?
83
It is just a cheese sandwich, it is not a grilled cheese.
84
So to make sure this isn't burning, I just check once in a while to see where we're at, I'm not really getting brown yet, and that's okay.
85
Let's turn this.
86
Oh my lord, look at that.
87
Come on, how does that not make you smile?
88
Look at that.
89
Look, I have some cheese toasties on the edge.
90
Even I'm impressed with myself.
91
So you'll know that your cheese is starting to melt when you try and pull this top piece of bread off, and it sticks, right?
92
That means the cheese is melting and holding everything together.
93
One caution here, give it a little more time than you think, because the center usually takes a little longer than the rest of the outside of the sandwich.
94
My cheese is starting to melt, and that's going to give me a nice crispy edge.
95
That is the stuff right there.
96
That makes me happy.
97
It's gonna be great.
98
Get your hot grilled cheese sandwich.
99
Make sure you have chef hands.
100
But look at that.
101
This is what I'm talking about.
102
This is what makes me happy when I see a grilled cheese sandwich.
103
Little bit of cheese leaking out and getting crispy, okay?
104
Nice brown.
105
Nice and crisp.
106
I'm gonna cut it in half.
107
Quick downward motion.
108
Put it on the plate. of crunchy potato chips.
109
And that is my perfect grilled cheese sandwich.
110
Let's look at this baby.
111
Oh, we got some cheese pulled there.
112
Look at that.
113
So when you open up this sandwich, you can see my cheese is fully melted.
114
It's gooey and delicious.
115
I have crunchy cheese along the edges.
116
My bread is nice and crispy.
117
Come on.
118
Is that not a beautiful grilled cheese sandwich?
119
creaminess, cheesiness, crispiness, it hits all the notes and that's why I think it's the best grilled cheese sandwich out there.
为什么与这个视频练习口语？
与这个视频练习口语对提升你的英语能力非常有帮助。视频中，专业厨师Frank通过讲解如何制作完美的烤奶酪三明治，提供了丰富的口语交流素材。观看这类内容不仅能够帮助你提高在厨房环境中的英语交流能力，还能激发你对英语学习的兴趣。使用雅思口语练习方法，你可以在闲暇时间进行练习，实现提高英语发音的目标。同时，跟随视频进行英语影子跟读，可以增强你的语音语调掌握，使你的口音更接近母语者。
语法与表达在语境中的运用
在视频中，Frank使用了多种表达方式，以下是一些关键结构：
- 反问句: “你知道什么是用于烤奶酪三明治的最佳面包吗？”这类问题可以激励观众思考，引导互动。
- 比较级: “我认为我的面包是最好的。”通过将不同的面包进行比较来表达看法，增强了语句的生动性。
- 假设句: “如果你选择这种面包，它的外壳会变得酥脆。”这种句型帮助学习者理解条件关系。
使用这些结构时，可以融入你自己的观点，提升英语口语练习的深度和趣味性。
常见发音陷阱
视频中有一些发音较为复杂的单词和地方口音需要注意：
- Gruyere: 这个瑞士奶酪的发音可能对许多学习者来说比较陌生，注意元音的发声和重音位置。
- Crust: 这个词的发音容易混淆，确保正确发出“克拉斯特”的音。
- Crunchy: 强调前面的“克”音，可以帮助掌握清晰的发音。
通过集中练习这些发音，你将能够显著改善你的英语沟通技巧，增强与他人交流的信心，进而更轻松地进行看YouTube学英语。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
