I make burgers every Thursday for dinner and each week Brandon asks if I toasted the buns the way restaurants do and every week I tell him that I did not. This week he took Bogart on a walk while I was preparing dinner and I decided to surprise him by toasting the buns so I turned on the broiler and stuck the buttered buns in then went to cutting the tomatoes. I'm sure you all know where this is headed. One thing lead to the next and while I was in the other room changing a diaper I suddenly remembered about the buns. When I opened the oven door a burst of smoke came out in my face and our house instantly became stuffy and stinky and cold. Cold because we had to open the front door to air the house out.
We'll see if I attempt to toast buns next week...
That happens EVERY TIME I use my broiler. Suggestion: next time, spread the rolls with a bit of butter and grill them (butter side down) on either a cast iron pan or an electric griddle. Much easier, with a much larger margin for error. Just a thought! -Amanda S.
ReplyDeleteYou, my dear, are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAmanda, thank you so much for the tip! I'll have to give it a shot next week.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, you are amazing! Thank you for your advice! I toasted our buns as you suggested and our burgers were more amazing than any homemade burger I've ever made. It's amazing how a toasted bun can change the outcome of a burger SO much. I'm so thankful for your tip! It was so easy and nearly fool proof.
