So you are dating a idiot don't have kids with him

All the hate from others aside, I think it's good that he tried to cook, but perhaps doesn't have much experience and made a mistake. Maybe you can teach him how to cook some foods, it could be a cooking date or something.

Grilled cheese with a pan?

Worst cooks in America!

Ok, I'm sorry but what adult doesn't understand the basic concept of plastic + heat = hell on earth?

What did he do to ruin it? Leave the spatula on the pan for too long?

I hope he offered to buy you new ones!

if it's in a pan it's fried, not grilled. if it goes under the grill it's grilled. but if it goes under the grill there is no pan involved. so how did he reck your pan making grilled cheese, that's like recking your microwave with a roast turkey.

it sucks that things ended this way but at least he tried to cook his own sandwich and wasn't laid back on a easy chair yelling at you to "make [him] a sammich" because he just "doesn't know how". It's a forgivable offense. well upon him realizing he maybe fucked up and needs to buy you a new pan and spatula. though on that note, a /favourite/ pan and spatula? Really? I guess if you are an avid cooker this maybe makes sense (though I'd feel you'd have multiple of your "favourites" then) but I feel that statement is just being a little over dramatic no?

I feel your pain. My fiancee used a metal spatula on the ONLY non-stick pan in the house, scratching the hell out of it in the process. It's no longer non-stick.
