Reply to comment by Bo_Jim in A bagel with creamed cheese is technically a grilled cheese sandwich by iunnolol

The heat source doesn't change the sandwich.

The bread is toasted in the toaster or on a pan...

I disagree. A traditional grilled cheese sandwich is not made by toasting the bread in a pan. Grilled food is usually cooked in it's own juices. Bread has no juices, so oil or butter is usually used. The taste and texture will be completely different from your toasted cheese sandwich.

You can still butter bread in a toaster... Nothing is different besides heat source.

My friend, there's definitely a difference in flavor between grilled cheese, toasted cheese, and "griddled" cheese.

If all the ingredients are the same there isn't.

There absolutely is. Go try it yourself. Different heating methods affect the physical reactions that take place in cooking, resulting in different flavors.

I've done it, many times. Thats why I know there's almost no difference.

You must have the taste buds of a potato then.
