Does anyone else ever microwave their sandwiches? I really like the soft, almost steamed bread texture, melted cheese and cooked ham taste you get.

I own a panini press because I'm not a fucking pleb.

Did you grow up poor by chance?

That's the thing, it's a different experience to fried or grilled bread, a bit like bao.
Pro tip, put the ham on the bottom bread slice with a bit of butter.

Then when it comes out of the microwave, flip it over.
This achieves two things:
- It's easy to lift the ham-slice which is now on top, allowed access to add any toppings you didn't want to microwave, such as pickle.
- It stops the slice that was underneath from continuing to cook and becoming too soggy.
I find a minute to a minute and a half is about right usually. Cheddar and ham is a classic, but emmental and English mustard is another favourite of mine.

Not really. I just like a warm sandwich quickly sometimes.
there are half a dozen other ways to achieve this without having to resort to microwaving your sandwich dude

But microwaving is surely the easiest.
Sounds good, OP. Sometimes I just want a warm sandwich without the bread being toasted or fried.

Exactly, it's nice to have a soft texture sometimes.

But you can just do that in a pan.

It's not the same.
I microwave then toast them a bit

when i was a fat kid my comfiest "meal" was microwaving buttered slices of scali bread until they were steamy hot and super soft

You mean soggy, alternately hot and cold, and nasty as fuck?
If I want a hot sandwich, I have a panini press.
A word of warning, if you try this with one of those seeded loaves, some of the seeds can get nuclear.
