I do get that sometimes you don’t want to mess too much with the softness of the bread, as it can kind of highlight the contrast in interior ingredients, whatever they might be.
Me, I don’t have any kind of toaster myself, but use my range’s spiral elements to toast (or grill) as needed. The problem is consistency, so next time I think I might try the air fryer out, instead. Brushing with a little oil first usually helps, but we’ll see…
It kind of blows my mind the number of ‘sandwich & pattie’ situations in which the cooks don’t toast the buns. It almost always helps.
I was at a BBQ a year ago, I said to the “chef” to toast the buns and he looked at his dad in confusion, his dad shrugged and said “I dunno.”
I then asked him if he liked toast, to which he obviously said yes. Anyway he toasted the buns and was an immediate convert.
I think it’s a situation where they haven’t encountered it before. We can teach them to do better! Imagine a world of toasted buns…
Nice one!
