   Dude you messed up big time!! haha

   Ok I dont have to be too specific for simple logical tasks but i will add a few pointers here!

   1- Butter must be melted on the pan on medium heat and then adding the hotdog to crisp it up.

   2- By wrapping the hotdog in the bun with a paper towel and microwaving it, makes it moist just the way it should.

   Its very simple and nothing to it.

   P.S. I said Wranglers, and never ever go with Americana or Khazan, both are mini mortadellas and not hotdogs.

   وانا اضم صوتي لك وخلك عالمطاعم احسن

   All you “chefs” out there ! There is so much fat a hotdog that you do not need oil or butter to crisp.Just heat up the pan and through the dogs in and rotate as they get grilled and change color.You must stand by them all the time,,,,,just like an automatic turning gril.
   Enjoy !

   I like the Johnny rockets hot dog with chilli cheese in Kuwait! Now Im hungry!

   Dude, use lil’ bit of sunflower oil to grease, and then heat the pan. When you toss in the ‘dogs, keep the flame to a medium & standy by turning ‘em ‘dogs till they look handsome. Oh, and open ‘em all kitchen windows. It might get a bit heavy.

    *going now to hardees to have hotdog*

11. 11. TweeZ | November 12th, 2006 at 12:24 pm

    Mark, you wanna taste my hot dog? ;)

12. 12. Sty | November 12th, 2006 at 1:41 pm

    Dude, use the wrangler smokehouse’s, French’s Spicy Brown Mustard (they come in the squeezable pack’s) and ketchup, cheddar cheese slices.

    1. Boil the hotdog to just before it cooks
    2. Pull it out and put it on an electric grill (or the grill the use for toast, it’ll cook in it’s own juices)
    3. Cook it till it’s done, don’t let it harden it should be firm but not too firm (No porn jokes guys seriously)
    4. Before you take it out throw a slice of cheese on it, leave it to just about melt. Heat the bun right next to it on the grill.
    5. Put the hot dog wrapped in cheese in the bun, add Ketchup and mustard to taste (I like to put about 2 lines of mustard on it and 1 of ketchup, thats how I measure it, try 1 at first of each and don’t squeeze the ketchup bottle too hard, it’ll just be too much). If you don’t like it..get in touch with me I’ll send you some, cuz it’s probably due to the fact you seriously can’t cook :P Let me know how it works out :)

    where can i get those wrangler hot dogs? Sultan Salmiya doesn’t have them. I got French’s Spicy Brown Mustard but I only put 1 line of it.

14. 14. equalizer | November 12th, 2006 at 3:38 pm

    Sultan Center is inconsistent, so you might find them at Soug sharg, but dont count on them, and you can always use their Ask service to bring it down for you. What i like about those is that they are perfectly smoked and course ground so its super juicy. Hotdogs are best grilled, but on charcoal, and no one has the time for that all the time.

    Boiled hotdogs? Yuck. I agree with some of the others, the best way is to grill them. Remember always to makes some slits so that they don’t burst when you grill or pan-fry them. I would also use cooking spray or a drop of oil in the pan and not butter. I think butter would give them a weird taste. Ikea has a grill pan that you can use on your stove top to give them those grill-like lines. If you don’t have a yard for a grill, DeLonghi makes indoor grills.

    *make

17. 17. Mark | November 12th, 2006 at 3:50 pm

    anyone noticed how complicated making a hot dog is…

18. 18. Mark | November 12th, 2006 at 3:53 pm

    also i dont think u r supposed to boil the hotdogs u r supposed to heat them with water. thats why the right way is to fill a pot with water and once it reaches boiling point u drop the hotdogs in it, close the cover of the pot and then take it off the heat.

    7-9 minutes later you have your self nice hot hotdogs. its like the guys in the hot dogs stands and ikea, they dont boil the hotdogs they just heat them up in the water.

19. 19. Mark | November 12th, 2006 at 3:54 pm

    ^^^ note this advice is from a guy who managed to burn hot dogs so take what i said with a grain of salt lol

    Hey all, just breezed by the articles here and decided to comment about cooking hotdogs. Generally boiling is considered to be the worst way to cook a hot dog. it sucks all the flavor out through osmosis, and they become water logged. unless your using a flavored broth, obviously the water itself isnt going to have taste so waterlogging it isnt going to make it taste better. steaming prevents water-logging, you can put a ‘base’ in the pan with the water to hold the hotdogs above the water, with the lid on, and it’ll steam em. stadium venders steam their red hots/dogs like this. when pan frying you use a lower heat. butter burns at a low temperature, to stop this add some normal oil with it, lower the heat or used clarified butter (which is just the oils of the butter, the cream and solids removed, which is what burns first.) I wouldnt suggest slitting a hot dog, as this will allow its naturaul juices from leaking out, thus losing flavor. If you sorta sneak up on it with the heat, you’ll be able to heat it up without it losing the flavor. flame or grilling is obviously harder cause flame is hot, period. although once mastered it does give it a great flavor. btw, using flavored borth and simmering the hot dogs can make em taste pretty awesome. when cooking realize there are other settings to the burners then full throttle high. :P
    anyways hope it helps, most prolly know this stuff anyways, but hope it helps someone.
