5.0 out of 5 stars I can finally make great hot dog buns!!! November 16, 2010

I have a grain mill and I make all our bread products but pretty hot dog buns seemed impossible. This little pan solved my problem......until my daughter came over and swiped my pan. So I bought another one for me and now we both make pretty hot dog buns. One tip is to make smaller rolls than you think you should or they will crowd each other in the pan after rising. After making one overcrowded pan of buns you will figure it out and have perfectly shaped hot dog buns forever. Just hide your pan from your daughter.

Update for Southern folks:

OK, after a visit from a cousin that lives in New England I have to edit my review. Being from the south I had no idea what New England hot dog buns were. Now I know. You don't try to form rolls out of the dough. You roll it out the size of the pan about an inch thick, let it rise and bake the slab of dough that is in the pan. When it is done remove it from the pan and then cut into buns. Then slice part way through on the top to have a place to put the hot dog. These buns have cut sides like bread and they are brown on the top and bottom. Just google New England Buns and you will see what they should look like. Now I like the pan even better!!! Thanks Ann!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pan! July 7, 2010

Since I have to eat gluten free, I wanted to be able to have decent tasting hot dog buns. For me, store-bought have a sawdust taste and texture.

This pan worked great! I had absolutely tasty hot dog buns for this past Fourth of July. I used a recipe from a Donna Washburn and Heather Butts' Gluten Free cookbook (125 Best Gluten-Free Recipes) for hamburger buns.

The dough rose beautifully in the pan. It is a nice sturdy weight. It has a non-stick surface, yet doesn't appear to be a teflon finish. It washed up easily.

This is a great, quality product!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars New England Rolls in the Desert Southwest!!! February 10, 2011

I recently moved from CT to Las Vegas, and was surprised to learn that no grocery stores out here carry NE Hot Dog rolls. These rolls are perfect slathered with butter and grilled, then stuffed with Clams, Lobster salad, or (gasp) even Hot Dogs when the economy is slow! I found a great recipe for these rolls on the King Arthur Flour Website. They were easy to make, an are much better than the commercial rolls! We now enjoy East coast delights in the Desert. The pan is very well constructed, and will easily outlast me. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars New England Hot Dog Pan April 8, 2011

By J. Sprague

This pan is sturdy and comes with an Americoat coating. From what I read about it, this coating is proprietary and is non-toxic. It seems to be a great non-stick coating.

Others have written how they could not get the bread to break away from each other. The bread, when turned upside down, will have bumps and small valleys (from the pan). You turn the bread onto a wire cooling rack. After the bread is COMPLETELY cool, you can begin cutting it. The bottom of the bread becomes the top. You are supposed to cut half way down through the bread on each bump. That is for the opening you put the hotdog in. Then, you cut all the way through the valleys. This will cut the rolls away from each other. You then have the New England style rolls. The bread and the design of the pan is not meant to pull the rolls apart.

Once I got the hang of cutting the bread, they came out great. The non-stick surface makes the bread fall out of the pan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ah, Now I can recreate those wonderful defunt F.W. Wooworth Crustless hot dog buns March 13, 2011

A great pan, allowing you to recreate those awesome old F. W. Woolworth CRUST LESS HOT DOG BUNS. I remember sitting at the lunch counter with Mom and Grand-mom, waiting for my hot dog, on a toasted hot dog bun. The buns were nearly crust-less. The cook would butter both top and bottom, lay them on the grill, and lightly toast the bun, while the hot dog grilled right beside the bun. Then, right before the hot dog went on, the cook would lightly butter the inside of the bun and toast that too. Talk about a taste explosion! Alas, in the 1970's and 1980's we started loosing the American Icon, F. W. Woolworth, along with them, their wonderfully tasty luncheon counters. The food was basic, GOOD and done RIGHT. But what I miss most of all, are these toasted HOT DOG buns and the MALTED MILKS. Ask a teen today if they would like a Malted Milk, you get a reply of, "Huh, what's a Malted Milk". Today's generation has no Idea of what good FAST FOOD IS! Everything is mass produced and the same nation, even world wide. Gone are these awesome tasty treats from a simpler time. But now I can make my own Buns, I don't have to import them at great cost from the East Coast. Thank You Amazon! Buy this pan, make your own dough, or thaw one of those frozen loafs and fit it to the pan, carefully cut the buns apart, butter the bare sides slowly toast and ENJOY a GREAT HOT DOG!!!!!

I have never heard of New England hot dog buns until I saw this pan on Amazon. I thought it was a little pricey for a bread pan but I had to try it after reading about this type of bun. I'm from the south so I have never heard of New England style buns. When the pan arrived I could tell it is a quality heavy pan. I made my dough in a bread machine using a recipe I found for the New England hot dog buns. As another reviewer said don't try to form rolls and put in the pan . Roll the dough out about the size of the pan and let it rise. When you bake the rolls put a greased cookie sheet on top of the pan and weight it down with something heavy like a cast iron skillet . This keeps the bread from rising higher than the pan and keeps it flat. When the bread cools you can slice it into 10 buns. I think these buns would also make great french toast sticks or garlic bread sticks. I can see this is a pan I will use often and glad I got it.
