It sounds like a bit from a 90's stand-up comedy routine: "Why do they call it grilled cheese when everyone cooks them in a pan?"

Directions
Step 1
Preheat a grill with GrillGrates to medium low or about 425°F at the surface of the grates. If you would like, turn a couple of your GrillGrates over to the flat, back side in order to griddle your sandwich.
Step 2
For each sandwich you will need two slices of bread and softened butter.
Step 3
Assemble the sandwich by spreading a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each of the slices of bread.
Step 4
Flip the bread over. If the sandwich has a spread, such as pesto, spread it on the un-buttered side.
Step 5
Cover the entire surface of the bread with cheese and then add whatever other ingredients you want.
Step 6
Put the sandwich together and take it to the grill.
Step 7
Place the sandwich on the rails of the GrillGrates or on the flat back side of the GrillGrates and close the lid of the grill.
Step 8
After 2-3 minutes check the underside of the sandwich to see what kind of color you have. Ultimately you are looking for a nice, dark, golden brown.
Step 9
If you're cooking on the rails, lift and twist the sandwich 90 degrees. If you are using the flat back side go ahead and flip the sandwich. Close the lid.
Step 10
Repeat this process until you have achieved the desired color and "oozeyness" (it's a technical kitchen term) of your cheese.
Step 11
How do I cook anything evenly? The part of burger, chicken, or fish that sits on the raised grill turns black and the other parts are under cooked. Please help, wanna be grill master.
how hot are you grilling?
Grill Grates do not need high heat. I learned that very quickly. I have a Weber EP 300 as well. Make sure the dials are pointing down, so a quarter turn from the hottest point. That is all the heat you need. You will get a char, but not the bitter char you get with high heat

Your Weber 300 has the center mounted thermometer on the lid. That might not be giving you an accurate temp reading with Grillgrates installed. Check the temp of the grates themselves with an infrared thermometer. I never have to turn my Weber above medium to get 450 to 500 degree grates.
This is truly a GRATE tip, Dale! Hood thermometers do not give an accurate GrillGrate measurement as they only measure the aerial temp.
