Buns! Steak, hotdog, and hamburger!

I know lots of folk tend to make their burgers round because of course, they have the round hamburger buns. They will use them for BBQ and a number of other food items. Hotdog buns are generally reserved for the hotdogs and bratwurst. Maybe even an Italian Sausage (bomber)

Over the years I changed what I use the buns for. The steak buns are the most useful and next come the hotdog buns. I no longer use the hamburger buns. When I package the burger, unlike most, I don't use a hamburger press. I do however use the 4"x4" parchment paper (usually used for burgers) but not to press a burger out onto it. I put 4 or 5 ounces of burger on it and spread it out almost like a rolled roast. Keeping it relatively even all the way across, I roll it up so it looks like a tube with the burger inside.

I'll put 4 of the 4 ounce in a freezer baggie and 3 of the 5 ounce in another baggie. It makes for stacking in the freezer nice (like cribbed ends on a wood pile) and tidy. When I'm ready to cook up one or more, I just remove however many tubes and either unroll them into a skillet or onto the grill. The burger ends up looking almost like a skinless sausage and works well with either the steak or hotdog buns. Add the other things like onion, cheese, tomato, and so on, and it works just fine.

I'll see if I can come up with some pictures to add to the thread tomorrow.

So, do you stay with the same ole, same ole, hamburgers on hamburger buns, hotdogs on hotdog buns, and steaks on steak buns? Or have any of you ventured outside of the box using different buns for different things (for example - 2 hotdogs on a hamburger bun)

 

Kings Hawiian makes a very nice (delicious) bun suitable for a large hamburger, steak or any other filling for a sandwich. They are a bit on the sweet side and really good!

 

I usually go with hot dogs on hot dog rolls...because it tastes better that way

 

Plain buns, toasted then steamed .

 

I like big buns and cannot lie. These other hoarders may deny....

 

I like Kings Hawiian products as well, but has anyone else ever notice they never go bad (mold) they are like Twinkies. I had a pack of Kings rolls on top of the fridge for a couple months easy, when I went to look at them I was expecting to see mold on them but there was none. I threw them out anyway. Like I said they are like Twinkies/ full of preservitives

 

Unbelievable!
There was a pack of hamburger rolls at one of our job sites a few years ago that sat for 6-8 months. Got hard as stone and still no mold.
Scary.

We have a local bakery here that makes some incredible Italian bread. Goes bad in about a week. But I can't can let Italian bread sit for a week

 

We don't have "steak" buns. We eat our steaks on plates with knives. We have hoagie rolls which are good for big hot dogs, and regular little hot dog buns, also hamburger buns.

We have some awesome maple bars.

 

I'm not much of a bread person, that is unless it's REAL Italian Bread! Then I can't get enough. The store bought, prepackaged, in every grocery store in the country, a loaf of that stuff will last me a month or more. The interesting part is it usually takes at least few weeks before it has a hint of mold.

 

I'm just going according to package labeling. Hogie Buns are the same as Steak Buns, at least size wise. I've never had a steak on any kind of a bun. That just doesn't seem right. I like my steak medium raw with just a bit of blood still running out of it when I cut into it.

 

And as I promised, though not the greatest picture, here is a picture of one of my venison burgers with cheese, onion, pickle, and katsup on a toasted steak bun! No, I didn't forget the bacon! That's already in the burger!

Next to it is a package of my little logs (venison burgers)

 

What time is dinner?
