Instructions
To Freeze the Hamburger Bun
- Wrap the hamburger bun in plastic wrap and place it inside of a freezer safe zip top gallon size bag. Repeat this process for each hamburger bun.
- Squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible.
- Write today’s date, “Hamburger Buns” and Use By (date 3 months from now) on the bag with a sharpie marker.
- Place into the freezer for use next time.
To Thaw the Hamburger Bun
- Remove the package of hamburger buns from the freezer the morning you plan to use them and allow to sit out on the counter. They will be completely thawed in a few hours. OR...
- Set a colander over a steaming bowl of water. Place the buns in the colander and then cover the colander with a clean cotton kitchen towel. This acts as a steamer and the buns will be thawed shortly. OR.....
- Sprinkle a few drops of water in a zip lock type bag (or in the plastic bag that the buns come in), place the bun in the bag and microwave for 5 seconds. Check the bun and repeat as necessary.
Notes
- Wrap the buns individually and then place them in a freezer safe bag, this helps to protect the buns from the harsh conditions in the freezer.
- Make sure to use a freezer safe bag for the buns! A typical storage bag doesn’t offer enough protection in the cold cold deep freeze!
- Freeze the buns as soon as you know that you have left overs. Stale buns that are frozen will still be stale when they come out of the freezer.
- To thaw the hamburger buns, simply lay them out on the counter the day you plan to use them or use one of the methods I discuss above.
