I had heard of the ironing board thing and the toasted sandwiches. It works on any type of sandwich you want to grill or make into a "melt". Heard about it on a travel channel. Never heard of the scissor thing but I am going to try it. I have to use liquid fabric softener in my combo RV washer/dryer but someday I might have a regular one so will keep that in mind. I do not like the smell of some of the sheets.
