Anyone Find A Great Hamburger Bun?

Hello. Being new, I'm looking to make this transition as easy as possible for myself. We love to eat out at Red Robin, and I see that they have some potentially safe foods. Anybody want to chime in on what the Best bun would be that's gluten-free? I would have a tough time eating a hamburger without a bun, and thought maybe I could bring my own with me. :D But, I'm big into tastes, too. So, which tastes the most like a "real" hamburger bun??

Thanks!

I'm not sure about Red Robin, hopefully someone with some experience with them will chime in to confirm things on that.

Hamburger buns - Kinnikinnick English Muffins (not the hamburger buns) make nice, soft, squishy buns if you know the trick). The trick is that you have to put them in the microwave for a bit. Then they get soft and squishy. Kind of on the chewy side, but it works really well. www.kinnikinnick.com

Whole Foods just started making gluten-free hamburger buns. It may not be at every location yet, but if they have them near you, it will probably be in the freezer section with some other gluten-free stuff (pizza crusts, breads, cornbread). When you get them, you'll notice that they're hard as a rock and twice as heavy, but use the microwave trick and they'll get soft. These reminded me of really good hamburger buns. Makes me want to go buy some more.

We like the Glutino buns. They are made from corn flour, and are a bit tougher in texture than the wheat flour ones that I once ate. But they are very good, especially if lightly toasted. Visit Open Original Shared Link to learn more.

I have taken the Gluten-Free Pantry Sandwich Bread mix and the French Bread mix, prepared it for conventional oven but poured a small amount into a small round baking dish. I used a corningware bowl that we had but if you plan to do this a lot I have seen mini-springform pans that might work better.

You have to experiment a little to get the right thickness (but you can cut a middle layer out if it is too big). As with most of these bread mixes, it is better the first day or so after baking.

Can you tell me how many calories are in the Glutino burger buns?

I recently went to Whole Foods to buy theirs to find they had 360 calories each. Yikes! That changed my mind pretty quickly and I went without.

No, it is a recipe I have at home. It is not dairy free, it has butter and heavy cream in it. I am not sure how you could convert heavy cream into dairy free. I can post the recipe anyways if you want?

I've used the gluten-free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread in 4 inch springform pans to make buns and they turned out really good. The downside is you end up making a bunch of buns at one time and it takes time for yeast bread to rise.

I recently tried Fast and Fresh Hamburger Buns and I'm impressed. You mix and make one bun at a time, spoon it into a plastic bun shaped mold, microwave for one minute and then toast it to brown it. It turns out a bun with good texture that holds together in a burger with all the good stuff on it and it takes less than 5 minutes. The downside is you're trading time for money. The starter kit is $8.99 and the refill kit is $5.49, each kit makes 4 buns.

To me the trade-off is worth it because it allows me to go have a burger on the spur of the moment without having a 2 hour baking session before hand but I don't do it that often. If burger runs are a frequent event, you may prefer to bake a bunch and freeze them. If you toast a frozen bun, they still taste pretty good.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Kris2093u4 · Posted

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      I’ve recently had bloods test due to fatigue. Iron was found to be low Serum ferritin level 4 ug/L so doctor sent for Coeliac test. Results have come back TTG ABS NUMERICAL > 250.0 U/mL is this a high reading? Am not waiting a Gastroenterology referral but this could take 10 weeks! This is all total new to me, didn’t think for a second I would have coeliac disease. Been advised not to change diet until seen by specialist
