Hot dogs: Grilled or boiled/steamed?

[44-40 Willy]

Stick a fork in it, hold it over the burner on a gas cook stove until burned to your liking (remember charcoal is a food group). If you're really hungry, use a bigger fork and put extras on it.

Charcoal grilled or deep fried if a gas stove isn't available.

Nancy likes them boiled so that's how I get 'em. I eat anything.

[Ysabel Kid]

Burnt on the grill. I don't like many foods burnt, but I do like my dogs "very well done"! Ketchup and mustard only, except for chili-dogs. Corn-dogs are good too.

When I was growing up, a neighbor used to eat his hotdogs with peanut butter!

I have always loved hot dogs and the passion continues. I have a preference toward grilled, but enjoy them any way they are cooked.

BlaineG way of doing it sure sounds good.

[JB]

Grilled is nice, but boiled or microwaved is my normal method. Just don't ask me to one in a Yankee state where you can't get chili and coleslaw on it!

They are good for breakfast as well

Slice one up and lightly brown in pan, add a couple eggs and scramble.

Spent a couple weeks in Wisconsin and this is what the lady of the house served for breakfast a few mornings.

25 years later and it's still pretty good for a change up.

Eat well-- J

they make good breakfast tacos in a pinch, also - split them and fry them, roll them up in a tortilla with scrambled eggs and salsa.

GRILLED... :)

What's your favorite method o' whuppin' up some dogs? I usually steam as it is so much faster, but not as flavorful as grilled

YES! any of the above, along with cuttin them up and cooking with the baked beans!

#1 Fried in butter in cast Iron.
#2 grilled
#3 electricuted
#4 boiled
#5 nuked

Suprised nobody had mentioned electricuted we used to do that a lot when I worked construction.

Been here in Phoenix 17yrs. The Mexican 'Sonoran' style dog is tough to beat. Oh, average beef dog, as such, but...wrapped in a coil of bacon, and baked together. The bun is a bolillo (bo-LEE-yo). Light, fluffy, soft bread you could honestly use as a pillow.

Fixins are generally sauteed onion, pinto beans, chopped tomato, and mayonaise. On top of that, you get side condiments of sliced cooked shrooms, mexican white cheese somwhat like parmesan, shredded cheddar. avocado sauce, and of course...hot sauce of your choice.

At the backyard BBQ, grilled with mustard and onion is best. Won't turn up my nose at a good steamed Chicago style, either.

The hotdog setup when I have time--



That little griddle in the back does everything from pancakes and eggs to hotdogs and sausage. Learned a fun tip if you like to boil your hotdogs... Put a mesh grill over the pot while you're boiling the dogs and put the open buns right over it, cut side down. Hot fresh steamed buns without any extra prep

[otteray]

Baja style Grilled Nathen's or Hebrew Nat'l 97% Fat Free, bacon wrapped, cheese with mayo and hot sauce, tomato, onions. Yeah, I know, but I'm on a diet.
I like steamed red hots served with my tangy, deeelicious, homemade sauerkraut on top.

[piller]

Grilled or steamed. Best with chili (beans are not a part of chili) and cheese. If chili is not available, ketchup. I don't eat anything with mustard, relish, or sauerkraut. Can't stand any of them.

In my home town there is a sizeable Polish community so I frequent this one Polish food shop. They have these huge Polish hotdogs that are the best I have eaten. The hotdogs are natural in the fact that if you don't eat them in a week they go bad. That tells me they aren't filled with all kinds of chemicals that will keep them viable for several weeks, so to speak.

I like to do something else. I sautee them in a covered pan. A spray of cooking oil and brown the skin slightly. My favorite way to consume these delectables is to take a whole grain flatbread, put the hotdog on it with some hot Polish style saurkraut( it has some shredded carrot in it for sweetness) along with hot and spicy mustard. Roll it up and wash it down with a fine brew.

Cooked on a stick over a campfire is great too. This ain't considered grillin' is it?

[Old Savage]

+1, been a long time for that.

Just make sure those twigs your roasting weenies with aren't from a cascara tree ....

If casacara tree twigs make your food do what the cascara pills you buy in a pharmacy do, it isn't gagging you would be doing.

...or Oleander, heard of a whole family getting wiped out cooking on Oleander sticks when I was a kid.
