To prepare, you can lightly toast the cut sides of the buns on a grill or in a pan to add a bit of crispness and warmth. This step helps prevent the bun from becoming soggy when filled with juicy burgers or other toppings. They are also perfectly fine to use straight from the package for a softer bite. Warm them in the oven or microwave for a few seconds if desired.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any remaining buns in a sealed plastic bag or airtight container at room temperature. This will help keep them fresh and prevent them from drying out. For longer storage, they can be frozen.
