TIL my air fryer makes better grilled cheese than my stovetop

Saw someone on TikTok toast their bread in the air fryer before adding cheese and it blew my mind. Tried it last night at 375 for 4 mins per side and got the crispiest outside with perfectly melted cheese. Anyone else swap out your pan for good?

Lol "blew my mind" over toast is such a TikTok energy thing but honestly I get it. I tried the same thing last week and my kitchen hasn't been the same. My poor stovetop pan is just sitting there in the drawer collecting dust now, probably wondering what it did wrong. The air fryer really does make the bread extra crunchy though, like way better than butter in a pan for some reason. Just don't forget to flip it or you'll end up with one side that looks like charcoal and the other side all sad and pale.

400 degrees for 6 minutes, flip halfway. That was my magic number after burning three slices in a row. The air fryer really does kill it for toast, way more even than a toaster if you ask me. @oliver523 you're spot on about the pan feeling abandoned, mine hasn't seen butter in weeks. Just make sure your bread isn't too thin or it'll fly around in there like a tiny frisbee.
