      Ah well, you can take the horse to the water (and he'll make corned beef), but you can't make him drink (and make the pastrami)!

    Reuben tip from David Rosengarten: Shingle your thinly sliced corned beef or pastrami (preferable--LOL) on a plate. Make the stack the size of a slice of the bread you'll be using, then top with sauerkraut. Top that with a slice or two of cheese. With a spatula, transfer that to a steamer and steam, covered, for several minutes. While that is steaming, prepare the bread (toasted if you wish) with mustard, 1,000 island, etc. With a spatula, transfer the hot meat mess onto a slice of prepared bread, top with the other slice and steam that for a minute or so. Chow down.

      And if you can do it, use homemade sauerkraut!

    I use corned beef and it is shredded or pulled the way the BBQ is, then, I cut it across the grain. I drain and press the moisture from the kraut.

    Waffle Iron plugged in and brought to temp while assembling.

    butter is melted and brushed heavily on the outside of the bread. if the meat & kraut have been refrigerated, I microwave it just long enough (20 secs or so) to bring it to just above room tempt. layer meat on one piece of bread, kraut on the other, swiss on top of the meat (which is usually harder to keep together) and the the kraut piece flipped and added. this is all built ON a spatula large enough to support the entire sandwich.

    Brush extra butter onto both plates of waffle iron. quickly put sandwich on waffle iron & close, pressing as the sandwich is pressed until you can latch.

    when done, the sandwich will be yummy crispy on the outside, you'll have lovely, gooey, caramelized cheese oozing out.

    Open and remove sandwich, cut, dip in mustard or salad dressing as you go.

    that's my Reuben game plan. I don't own a panini thingy, I have far too small a kitchen for unitaskers.

      Too bad you don't have the smell of pastrami smoking to sooth your nerves.

      I've used the **gasm word for years to explain how good some foods taste. Glad to see I'm not alone!

    A great Reuben is probably my favorite sandwich. I have had great ones and fair ones with a lot of in between. To me it is the balance of all of the ingredients and then the perfect grill on the bread that makes the real difference between OK and great.

      I agree completely. I'm seeing some homemade pastrami and sauerkraut in my future. Where's the cabbidge?
