Similar easy technique for guides to assure even slits: I used handle section of two wooden spoons. Perfect slit depth. Wooden spoon handles probably a bit thicker than chopsticks.
For the "roof" over the buns during baking, I wrapped my hefty cast-iron oblong griddle (smooth on one side) with non-stick aluminum foil (non-stick side out, of course). This covered top of pan perfectly, with evenly distributed weight. I'm keeping this wrapped for repeat usage, until it's time for pancakes.
Thanks for the good tips, Marcie - PJH
