always use a temperature lower than you think you need. don't be
  afraid to let it sit, but any temperature higher than medium,
  you have to stir, stir, stir. I'll take 15 minutes to make a
  grilled cheese. I set my electric to 4. 10 minutes on the first
  side, 5 on the other side. Do the same with meat. Lower and
  slower. Save the fancy grill marks, fat melting, carmelizing for
  the last 5 minutes. "
