mini hamburger buns/slider buns

The Kings Slider rolls are a good idea, But, from what I remember Kings doesn't give anything away cheap....I like the idea of a sweet hawaiian roll..............Billyb

If you buy them retail you're right. If you buy thru a distributor, you may get a break. They have a Coupon tab on their web site. I get them at Fry's here in AZ. Their a division of Kroger. Check your Krogers affiliate

That's 59 cents a bun! I just bought a 4pack at Fry's for 99 cents--That's 25 cents a bun. They also package them in 12 packs. Check that price.

For some reason, they only carry the four pack, I can't see any one buying them at that price. I also don't know why they pack them in 4 pack. Billyb

For what its worth, Wonder makes them, and they must not be too expensive because Crabill's sells their burgers for 60 cents each.

The 4 pack is for retail to the consumer, not for commercial or Institutional use. You need to find another source or contact KH Directly to get a supplier

So Billy tell me this, they are frozen right? And no disrespect meant (you have a captive audience) how do they rate compared to a White Manns, or another slider joint?

Hey Jack on a scale of them being 1 and 2, mine would be 2896th.. If I were to build my business on this product, I would be doing it with good melt in your mouth beef, and soft sweet tasty slider buns............Billyb

Hey Jack, IMHO these guys are serving good burgers on good rolls for a good price. I can't see the margins being good, but I bet they sell the hell out of them. They would get killed doing it in a slower operation. Volume, solves many problems, and returns high profits as long as labor isn't to intense.........................Billyb

My bread company is from Chicago, and I called my truck driver Friday he delivered slider buns today.

We are closed on Monday but I did drop by for something else and he had brought me the slider rolls.

They are like the Kings Slider Rolls in appearance, but I haven't tasted them yet. But here is the best part they only run just over 8 cents each.


Now the down side I stoped by Schnucks Grocery today before I went by the stand and they had another brand but again similar to Kings Slider Rolls, so I bought some. I made a couple smoked ham sliders, and two smoked beef sliders for lunch with some good extra aged swiss cheese and a little mayo. After I made the sliders I heated them in the microwave for 30 sec and the cheese melted nicely. I liked the sandwich but I wasn't crazy about the buns. I hope I like those that my bread man droped off better. I guess I don't have a lot of class in my bread taste, I'm a fan of mostly white bread and a little rye on some sandwiches. LOL

did you microwave the buns. Buns never taste or appeal to me after nukeing. Can get rice close but not there.

Are the King rolls sweet.As i remember the last time I got Kings Hawaiin rolls they had a sweet taste. Really what I would like to find are mini hamburger buns. Hardees sells them so I know someone makes them

They make 2 flavors. The original is Hawaiian Sweet. They also make a "Butter Savory" that is not as sweet. 

I got my Slider Buns from

Alpha Baking Company
36230 Treasury Center
Chicago Illinois 60694-6
817-222-9363

And they are 0.14625 each. I was wrong on the price I posted yesterday. They are like the Hawaiian Rolls, yellow with maybe a little bit of a sweetness, and very good with my smoked sausage-cheese- and BBQ Sauce.

I don't have a flat top in the trailer so I can't try the burgers yet.

But I can throw the buns on my Panini grill for 30 sec and they look and taste great toasted and heat my smoked sausage for 30 secounds while toasting the bun, bang some cheese, and some BBQ Sauce and can turn them out in about 90 secounds each.

Not bad I just need to figure the cost on my smoked sausage, a guess on the sausage cost would be about  25 cents. Tops my cost on a sausage slider is around 45 cents each. Pretty cool.

Hey jack, is your smoked sausage the large link you show in the picture gallery............Billyb

Billy,
No that's my spicy sausage, my smoked is really a fatty or sometimes called a chub. Here's how you do it.

Good Dr.
You just gave me a GREAT Idea!! Take a 1# Chub of Breakfast Sausage, Cut it half Lengthwise then cut in half Crosswise. You now have 4 quarter pounds of Sausage. Lay the flat sides down. Spread  it gently using a wooden dowel, press a lengthwise indentation into the Sausage. Grill it on a flatop or grill. Fill the indentation with whatever, Eggs, Salsa, Cheese, You name it. Serve it on any Roll of your choice. Or Better Yet, Bake some Biscuits that have been formed into the shape of a hot dog bun and serve the sausage on that!!!!------------- Am I a Freakin' Genius or What??

You think like I do. I think LMFAO. Ok so your pretty sharp lets both go back to the drawing board. I like your idea of stuffing the fatty, or if I were doing an event (sausage and gravy)  but think about this, I get these frozen no problem in thawing them and at that point I have a pretty manageable chunk of sausage.

So lets start there with cutting and shaping, rather than trying to shape it after it's smoked.

I wish you were at the stand this is the kind of thing I do often trying something new and tasting then throwing out the stuff that doesn't work and if it works giving one to everyone that hits the drive up for a couple of days until I start getting orders for the new item.

Ok give me your best shot.

Spelling error

"So lets start there with cutting and shaping, rather than trying to shape it after it's smoked."

You mis-read me there. I would shape it right after it's cut and in its raw state BEFORE  freezing, any smoking, cooking etc. Shape it in the raw so to speak then freeze it. The idea behind the indentation is to keep whatever you add to it after or while it's cooking  to keep it from spilling out of the bun/biscuit. As you know, Biscuits can be fragile and break up easily. The Idea is to make it easy for the customer to eat it!

Oh ok, let me think about this for awhile.
Thanks

Had to go to Wally World for cleaning supplies, detoured to bread isle just to look. Sara Lee Slider buns 12ct
$1.89 not bad for retail.

The sara lee guy is checking into wether they can get them in or not> Perpperidge Fram carries them but having trouble getting in touch with the guy. Retail P F sells for about .24 cents for buns, hopefully wholesale will be below .20 since thats what I figured when I made my prices. Tried the doller rolls from Wal-Mart but they were a bit big. Tried 73-27 meat and they looked like sausage patties when they finished cooking. Baught 80-20 yesterday and will try that this weekend. What is the breakiing point for meat. At what percentage does it start effecting the flavor. They have to be a little greasy they are sliders.

GD,
In my opinion you can get around the lack of fat in your burgers by buttering your buns before you throw them on the burgers. And it adds a great taste.

I'm curious though on the line "tried 73-27 meat and they looked like sausage patties". What did you mean?

You need to smash these burgers to get the crisp edges and great taste that your looking for.

Jack

tried forming then as thin as possible but as they cooked the came in and got fatter, kinda reminded me of breakfast at home growing up with little sausage patties looked like when my mother got through cooking them.

Klosterman Bakery Products in Cincinnati has three-inch mini-buns.

Do people actually do sliders at the home, which makes the product more attractive to the consumer at retail places. WE/I do the Juicy Lucy style. Love that hot cheese.
