[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How do you cook a hot dog? (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 7/14/2018 10:13:40 PM EDT

I don't mean the method. Although if I'm not using a grill, i prefer the air fryer these days. It's fast as fuck and cooks very evenly.

I bring this up because the wife and I went to a friends house last week, and they cooked hot dogs, brats, and chicken on the grill.

The chicken and the beer brats (not precooked) were appropriately cooked, but not the cheddar brats (precooked) or the hot dogs.

He literally put them on the grill long enough to get them warm and put grill marks on them.

I don't like a floppy uncooked hot dog. I cook them to the point that they are crisp and snap when you bite into them.

I have also recently gone from bun size ball park all beef, to hebrew national and don't plan onnlooking back.

So comment if you like, or do what the majority of GD has planned and make a gay joke.

I actually prefer boiled hot dogs, just for the ease of cooking the things. But I have been part of using an F-4's APQ-120 radar to microwave a bunch of hotdogs placed in the nose and the radar turned on for 30 seconds. One million watts of power at the antenna cooked those things very well!

Broil in oven, or place in shallow pan and steam.

Hotdog toaster.

If I am grilling them I call them crunch dogs, others might say burnt.

Spiral cut dogs, cooked on the grill until browned and crispy at the edges... rolled in grated cotija cheese afterward.

Steamed.

Microwave in the bun.
30 seconds per dog.
It steams up the bun just right.

I like the steam method. I feel that if you fry it or grill it that the hot dogs tasty salty.

Rub it till the weiner gets friction burns.

Boiled on a folded slice of white bread with ketchup (or catsup, if you are using Brooks Tangy Catsup). If entertaining a nubile young lady, you can splurge and wrap a slice of Kraft Single around the dog. Do NOT go generic on the cheese.

I don't cook them. I their them in a bun right out of the fridge.. they're best that way

Posted: 7/14/2018 10:33:02 PM EDT

[#22]

Grilled to a crispy black or fried to blackness.

If I'm going to eat spinal cords and stomach linings, I'd rather they be cooked well done.

You're a smart person.

Grill em
Boil em
Eat em without cooking
On a stick over a fire
Microwave em
Put em in a bowl of water, then microwave em.

Last way, well, it only applies to my previous job because the microwave sucked and there was no other way to cook. Nobody there drank coffee and we had a coffee machine, so we'd fill the pot with water and cook ramen noodles, hot dogs, or whole cans of campbell soup in the pot.

I boil brats in beer, then grill them. It is the best of both worlds.

On the skillet.

Then I top it with some Gold Star meat sauce, chopped onions, shredded cheese, and hot sauce.

I eat hot dogs only once or twice per year, so when I do it I do it right.

Dump weiners and juice from the bag into a crockpot. Cook on high stirring occasionally. Just like grilled dogs but without burned spots.

Posted: 7/14/2018 10:46:23 PM EDT

[#32]

Im with op all the way.

Grilled or broiled, can't stand boiled hotdogs.

I like my Spicy Bites sweated on the rollers, though...

Posted: 7/14/2018 10:49:33 PM EDT

[#34]

We boil unless I’m being lazy or I’m grilling something else already.

Posted: 7/14/2018 10:50:29 PM EDT

[#35]

I don't.

I have no desire to shit in a bag

Posted: 7/14/2018 10:51:48 PM EDT

All beef hot dogs.

Whatever it takes.

Fire is great.

Nuked is fine.

Boiled works.

Posted: 7/14/2018 10:52:49 PM EDT

I take them over to a coworkers bbq and have him handle it.

Posted: 7/14/2018 10:53:11 PM EDT

Usually a little longer than your friends. Enough to get some color and crisp, but not close to burnt. May as well, while the grill is hot.

How can a precooked hotdog/brat be uncooked?

Posted: 7/14/2018 10:57:50 PM EDT

Grilled till it looks like they have cancer....

But IF I have to have a bunch of hot dogs done for say a kids party. I just boil them.

Fried in a pan using olive oil (Hebrew National).

Posted: 7/14/2018 11:01:44 PM EDT

[#44]

Pan fried

We've found an all natural dog that is much tastier than anything we've ever eaten.

Toasted bun, mustard, ketchup, chili (hot dog)

Sweet tea, chips and maybe baked beans or pork'n beans

All beef. I put them on the cooler side of the grill until they are almost done, and then I roll them over to the hot side to get some fire. I like them to get hot enough to start to split and be crisp but not burned.

No shit. It's not like Ballparks have a gourmet quality about them.
Dog for 30 seconds, dog in bun for 15. Add mustard, done.

boil in water with beef bouillon, beef broth/stock, worcestershire sauce and salt to taste. Once boiling lower to 150 and simmer in a crock pot of roaster until ready to serve. It makes cheap skinny Bar S dogs look and taste like premium franks. They swell but don't split if you take them off boil soon enough. Serve directly out of crock or roaster onto buns.
