Default I want one... hot dog cooker

Check this out. A pop up hot dog cooker, that works just like a toaster. Cooks the dogs and toasts the buns. 50 bucks. Cool.

I made my own out of two strands of solid #10 stuck in a wall receptacle then one in each end of the hot dog. Less than $50.


H&S has some crazy stuff!

I just used an old extension cord. Cut the female end off, strip & solder the two wires. Stick one in each end of the 'dog, and plug it in.

Piping hot in 10-15 seconds.

Propane torch. Hot box. Heat gun. Construction heater.

8 grams of cardiac arrest packed into each and every single one YUMMY. Gotta be honest though, I used to often enough go for the Polish Dog at the Costco on a regular basis when I was young enough that it wouldn't show up south of the belt border.

Just dont laugh at me for a min but i did use big 400 W HPS for a toaster for my hotdog bun.

dang , that bulb did put out pretty serious amount of heat lol.,,

but i did have one hot dog cooker that was made by Presto many moon ago i think Marc [ MDshunk ] did post it here or other fourm i am not sure if he did that.

the other fast way to cook the hotdog is wrapped in alum foil with about 3 layers thick and set top of the exhaust manfold of either gas or diesel engine and that will be done about 3 min or so depending how hot the manfold is.

Merci, Marc

Betcha that bulb would cook the dog quite easily, as well! Just put it on a stick and hold nearby, just like you would do over a campfire ...

Hooked up some equipment in a food plant that makes sausage, hotdogs, and similar products. Once you have seen them made, you dont desire to eat them any longer.

I don't know about that. I hooked up some equipment in a new slaughterhouse that slaughters goats, and I still like to eat.... oh, wait... I never really ate goat meat in the first place.

I havent eaten goat that I know of but I do find Thai sesame musk rat really good, rattlesnake and alligator are also pretty good. I hate to admit it but puppy legs that I had without knowing in Korea are really good. I have never worked on a slaughter house but I did work on a dog food factory where horse is the primary meat in the rendering pots, that will take your appetite for a day or til you get the smell out of your memory.

I did a lot of the machine control wiring for the process plant I mentioned before, so I was there when they started up the line. There was a whole lot more than meat and meat products going in those dogs. I saw bags of cellulose fiber, bone meal, and some stuff that looked like wet saw dust going in the hopper. That was enough for me.

It was 35 years ago I read this but I do remember the 1% (maybe more) inert ingredients that could include hair and animal byproducts.

"byproducts" does that mean the stuff was in the container by the meat products?
