Paying attention to other reviewer, I toasted the H\/B buns in my toaster and broiled them on parchment paper...NO stick-No mess and they were terrific.

This really didn't have much flavor at all. Also, the juice from the meat mixture made the bun soggy so the bottoms all stuck to the pan when broiled.
