How does one use the lid as a bun warmer?? (*Polycarbonate cover also serves as a bun warmer)

I have never used the lid as a bun warmer. I suppose you could just lay the open bun right on top of the plastic lid as the lid does get warm.

I do not know how to use the cover as a bun warmer. I use a spaghettini pot that I place about a quater inch of water below the boil in the bottom and put the buns in the strainer suspended above the water in a covered pot and the buns are steamed just perfect.

I have put the buns opened on the slots on the lid. Only 2 will fit, it warms them, but not like steamed buns. To me it's not worth the mess with the crumbs and all, but as for the unit itself, we own 2, my husband can't live without them.

Can't help you friend. The instruction that came with mine , stated the lid is to remain open during operation. Sorry.

I never have... Buns could go right on grill ... Cover may work but doubt it

I can't help you John, because I've never tried warming the buns, but the unit works great!!!

Steam vents through the lid. You can put the package of buns on the lid and it will warm them

Just put the buns on the rollers perpendicular to the hot dogs and close the lid - you can only fit 3 hot dogs and 2 buns at the same time. So the cover doesn't really serve as a bun warmer that I am aware of but it's still a great machine in my opinion.

Its easy. Apply your choice of grease or baking spray and pour in your desired batter. Place the remaining pan (the one with the hole in it) on top and close/secure with clasps. Don't worry if you have slippage while cooking, you can take it off when cool. Depending how much you place in the pan your circle may look like an oval! I didn't use the included sticks only because I used lollipop sticks.

It's a single walled container. There is no thermal insulation. The lid has a plastic seal which should prevent leakage, but I have not exposed it to pressure, so not sure how well it seals. Basically, the container and contents will reach temperature equilibrium with its environment at a normal rate.

I would be dubious in putting hot food in plastics. I'd prefer to put hot food in either glass, ceramic or metal containers. Save the plastics for the cold stuffs.

Yes you can. I just tried it again just to make sure. But I only did it for 30 seconds and not a problem. The only thing I can think of that might happen if you heat it too long is that the cover might expand or be slightly sucked inwards due to the vacuum that may be created. I have had this happen with other lids (different brand) with no harm done.

I don't see why you couldn't use the compartment to bake in the oven, since it's a metal container. However, it does have a plastic lid so you would have to use foil to cover.

It is eassy to use,take everything out including plastic bags, after everything is out place, the little rack on the bottom ,of the container and place some of the wax in .On mine I let it warm up until everything has melted ,after I low the temperature,before I place my hand in the wax I try the temperature and if it right I introduce my hand in ,turning and submerging it several times until is well cover ,you can do one hand first and after the other hand ,use a timer and set the timer for 15 minutes

I strongly suggest contacting the manufacturer.My opinion, however, would be that if there was any food touching the cover, the food might get too hot and damage the cover.

There's just one setting, and it's HOT! Do NOT put a plastic container on it, but what I do is put a wire, 1/2" high cake-cooling rack on the surface first, then the plastic container and this works fine. Really keeps food warm for a long time. You can even warm a couple dinner plates underneath it. My old one lasted several years and I use it almost every day.

I needed to know the same thing. By looking at the Brown Sugar Bear "Bun Warmer" description (same brand also sold on Amazon) I found instructions for heating in the oven. So I figured that would work for drying the Brown Sugar Bear to use for keeping my crackers crisp. I followed these instructions: "heat the bear in the oven @ 250 degrees for 10 minutes. Let it cool completely before placing it in a sealed container with the crackers, etc". It works like a charm! For keeping bread warm, heat the same way then immediately place the heated bear/s in the bottom of a lined serving basket or stoneware dish & place bread on top. I didn't find anything about this being microwave safe.

Contact the manufacturer or run a search online for directions. Ours came with directions. I've found that setting the timer for 10 minutes insures perfectly cooked hot dogs and perfectly steamed buns. Be sure to not cover the air holes in the bun steamer with the buns. When they're done, carefully remove the bun steamer lid and wipe condensation from the bottom of the lid. This will prevent the buns from getting soggy as they sit waiting to be consumed. Don't let the water reservoir run out of water. You always want to keep it at least half full while cooking. Using filtered water will prevent the heating element in the water reservoir from becoming corroded with calcium.

I did. I found one with a plastic cover. I reheated the hot pack about 3 hours after I placed it into carrier, and it kept my casserole warm. Worked perfectly.

i have this pan with a lid but my question is how do i use the pan with the lid? do i let the bread rise with the lid on then bake the bread with the lid on ?

My silicone bundt pan works perfect, please note that you have to take your cake out of pan only when it is not hot anymore ...aproximately after 30 minutes otherwise it can "slouch" down. So if you bake it for 30 minutes, then let it cool in open oven, if you put cake from the oven into cold place it definitely will "slouch" down because difference of temperatures. It is especially important for sponge cakes and alike...

The cover is plastic so I would not place very hot objects directly on it. We use it for our holiday tablecloth and good china, and we always use trivets and cups with saucers.

On the lid itself states "microwave/refrigerator/freezer use. Do not use in conventional oven. Loosen cover before microwave use."

Thanks for the replies. Haven't had good results freezing store bought hot dog buns but hopefully these will keep better. I had the same thought about using foil. Haven't used the pan yet but may try a half recipe after the first one, that fifth one can always go to the birds, lol.
