Do you butter the bread or melt the butter in the pan?


I prefer to lightly mayo the bread then melt butter in the pan like a total hedonist.

    Melt the butter in the microwave and pour/spread it over the bread, then put the bread in the pan.

    Depends how tired I am. Butter to pan if tired.

    I prefer to butter the bread, but our house is always cold, so the butter is never spreadable. So, we resort to melting the butter in the pan before putting the bread down, but it is definitely not my preferred way of doing it.😭.

    Room temperature butter on the bread. This is the only way

    Mayo the bread and spray the pan with olive oil.

    I melt butter in the pan and use that to butter both sides of both slices of the bread. Our pan is tiny so i can do one slice at a time😅

    I melt the butter in the pan because anytime I want a grilled cheese, it’s very last minute so butter is too cold to spread.

    Mayo with some garlic salt sprinkled on it 😍

  15. LeaningFaithward

    I use mayo on the bread now and then into a hot pan. No torn bread and its delicious

    Butter in pan. Very small spread of mayo on bread.

    I’ll butter your bread *dirty, overly sexual tone*

    Yes I butter the bread.

  18. Homework_Happy

    Butter the pan I ain’t got no time to spread it on the bread

  22. BlkFish27

    I melt the butter in the pan and toast both sides ❤️

  23. uberninja333

    Tallow in the pan, tallow or butter on the bread. It’s amazing

  24. Big_P4U

    I butter both sides of bread for grilled cheese

  25. Zealos57

    If I’m not in a hurry, I butter the bread. If I am, butter the pan.

  26. virtualracer

    Both. Lightly buttered bread and a big lump in the pan.

    Depends on if the butter is already soft or straight out the fridge. You know what I mean

  29. Vegetable_Pen5248

    There’s only one correct choice here…

    we usually get like a tub of soft butter but we also have sticks, so if there’s soft left then i butter the bread and if not i melt some in the pan

  31. nobody38321

    I butter the bread and use the oven on broil

  32. 777ER_1

    Butter is soft because the butter dish is on the counter. Butter the bread then cook it.

  33. g-o-o-b-e-r

    Unless I’m going to take the time to melt butter and brush it on I’m just dropping that shit in the pan.

    White bread/american grilled cheese gets assembled, butter down in a medium low heat pan, then when I flip it I add more if needed. If I have fancy cheeses and bread I’m taking the minute to melt it in the microwave and brush it on.

    Butter on bread so that I can easily add spices.

  35. mpls_big_daddy

    Mayo on the insides. Butter on the outside and butter in the pan.

  36. Crochet_Corgi

    Melt butter in pan, put sandwich in, use hot pan to get butter stick soft, then spread on bread.

  37. outblues

    Im not a room temp butter tray dude since i usually have salt free, so I never plan far enough in time to have butter i can spread on the bread, but sometimes I put the butter stick on the hot pan and rub the bread with it, getting crumbs into the stick like a filthy maniac.

  38. trilobright

    Butter the bread, definitely. I always keep one stick of butter (that’s 113 g for non-Americans) out at room temperature so it’s easy to spread.

  39. HouseOfZenith

    I’m a degenerate. I use vegetable oil.

  43. IdoltTheIdot

    Im a mayo on bread, butter on pan kinda guy, yeah its not the healthiest but when you weigh 115 at 6’ fat rich foods becomes significantly less concerning lol

  45. FlatRelationship4375

    Thin spread of bacon grease on the bread.

  46. jjmenace

    Bread on the button…and spread on a layer of mayo!
