Hey INGO, how do you cook a hot dog?

[chezuki]

And dont get the all beef hot dogs. Yuck. Get the pork and chicken ones.

I'm sorry, but you are incorrect. Trust me, I am a professional.

 

[Sylvain]

They do, my kids included. Of course they eat ketchup on about everything.

And dont get the all beef hot dogs. Yuck. Get the pork and chicken ones. They are much tastier.

And if you are eating the worst of the worst cuts of meat processed and shoved in a casing, It really doesnt matter what kind of dry heat you are using. Whether its gas, charcoal or lump charcoal, you are still eating the lowest cut of meat so it really doesnt matter.

I'm not sure they even put actual meat in hot dogs.

 

[hoosierdoc]

I thought some people did that.

The truly refined of us do. The plebes usually just use mustard

 

[Cameramonkey]

I'm sorry, but you are incorrect. Trust me, I am a professional.

Sorry, I prefer chicken lips and pig *******s over cow lips and *******s. You need variety in your ingredients for a better rounded outcome.

 

[Cameramonkey]

Well, they put the meat you [STRIKE]cant[/STRIKE] won't eat otherwise in them. Given the disagreement between myself and Chez, I say buy both and see which you prefer.

 

[chocktaw2]

Lol, I believe we've had this conversation around a campfire. You and I have different opinions on what makes a good hotdog, and that's ok. Someone has to eat the ****ty ones.

It wouldn't let me give you rep! You are spot on.

 

[chezuki]

Honestly, the best hotdogs I've ever had have been cooked on a forked stick over a camp fire. Use the bun to remove the slightly charred dog from the stick and enjoy. No condiments needed. IIRC, cold beer accompanies this well... though these days I'll treat myself to a sparkling water with lime instead.

The company matters also.

 

[eldirector]

1) campfire
2) grilled
3) pan-fried

Only hipsters boil them. I think microwaving them is actually listed as a sin somewhere.

In prefer kosher beef franks.

 

[mom45]

Over a fire is the best way to cook them.

Two ways to eat them....fill the bun with chopped onion, relish, mustard, ketchup and anything else that is on the table and then add the dog. All of those condiments disguise the taste of the stuff that makes up the dog.

or

Lots of peanut butter in the bun with a very hot hotdog added to make it melty and gooey and messy....yum! That old Armour Hotdog song about how do kids eat Armour hotdogs gave us the idea for that when they said "even peanut butter" as a way that kids ate them. We just HAD to try it and WE LIKED IT!

(It should be noted that this advertising jingle was popular way before my time as I am a mere 29 years old)

Hot dogs are one of those great foods that are good just about any way they are fixed. I like mine grilled with onions and Tabasco .

 

[pudly]

Grilled with either mustard or chili and onions.

Also, hotdog = wiener = frank = frankfurter = tube steak. It's kinda the 9mm Luger of tube meats.

There was this comedian who said his mom made hot soup using the water the dogs were boiled in. Can't remember who it was. Dogs on Tues., hotdog soup on Wed.

 

[Lelliott8]

I thought some people did that.

I told you it was contentious. If you liked the ketchup, feel free to put ketchup on it. I like mine with KETCHUP ONLY! A lot of people are needlessly puristic about this because they forget that hot dogs are the Ramen Noodles of the meat family.

 

[nbunga]

Miracle Whip and shredded cheese all the way!

 

[Alpo]

No turkey dogs. All beef preferred.

Grilled over charcoal, bun placed on grill for last minute or so. Any mustard you prefer.

For a special treat: add chili with no beans.

 

[churchmouse]

1st.....good buns. No cheapy's. Butter them up and place on a hot flat griddle to toast them.
2nd....Good ball park style beef franks. None of the imitation Turkey crap. Split and put in the skillet and fry them up to taste.
3rd....Open up a can of "Wolfe" Texas style chili and heat it up.
4th....dice up an whole onion. All of it.
5th....Select the proper mustard for the occasion. Spicy is my favorite but the good old yellow does the trick as well.
6th....Open face the toasted bun (2 on the plate) and place the fried dogs on them.
7th....Mustard.....to taste.
7th....Add the chili
8th....Add the onion to taste.
9th....Cover it all with shredded cheese.
19th...Tall glass of Ice Cold Milk
20th...Enjoy

That is the way we like them.

Or off the grill work as well.....

 

[Alpo]

No milk! Ackkkkk!

Lemonade (or an Arnie) or marine-cold beer.

 

[2A_Tom]

Grilled over lump charcoal or wood. Toasted bun with mustard, preferably the coarse grain variety.

A close second is to roast them in the oven in a cast iron skillet. Don't discount it until you have tried it, you may never boil a dog again.

Yeah WTF?

MUSTARD. Yellow will suffice but spicy brown is preferred.

I had one with ketchup and mustard.
I will try one with just mustard.

Just so long as you don't use thay Sissy Frenchy GrisselyPooPoo mustard. That S***S.

If you ever have to serve hundreds leave them in the packages, boil in a large pot an long as you desire (they will not split), line a cooler with towels, pack the packages tightly, cover with more towels and soak with boiling water. they will stay hot for twenty four hours or more depending on the cooler. Open only the packs that you need. Any unopened packs can be re frozen.
