ChefSteps tip for better grill toasted buns

[Bob Correll]

Not sure if the link will show the video unless you sign up.
But here's the tip:
Place buns cut side down on the grill, roll up a wet dish cloth, or something similar, place near the buns, then cover with a large metal bowl.
This is supposed to keep the tops moist.
Haven't tried it yet.

Edit,
After some thought, this seems kind of silly since it only takes a few seconds to toast up a bun.
Hardly time enough to "dry out" the tops.

Bob, after reading your edit note, I would have to agree. I guess that I have never cook a bun long enough to dry out the top. Unless, I forget about it after couple of adult beverages. HeHe!!

So they don't have you sous vide the buns for 3 days first?

Nope, just the burgers.

I think youre right , Bob. this might be overthinking a simple thing.

Really can't see the advantage, never have had a dried out bun from toasting.
