Introduction

Hot dogs are a delicious summertime treat. But when it comes to deciding what the best way is to cook them, things can get confusing fast. I’ve heard of people boiling hot dogs, grilling them until they’re charred black and burnt (not recommended), microwaving them, and even frying them up in a pan with oil. So which method should you use? The answer: any! As long as you know how long your hot dogs will take according to their size and frozen-ness (more on that later), then you’ll have some great options for cooking this summertime staple from start to finish.

Starting with a frozen hot dog is the best bet, but thawed out hot dogs are totally fine.

While it’s always best to start with a fresh hot dog, thawed out hot dogs are totally fine. If you’re using an uncooked frozen one, just make sure that it’s been in the freezer for at least 24 hours before cooking. This will give the meat time to firm up and become more resistant to breaking during grilling.

If you have a package of pre-cooked hot dogs on hand (or if your grocer sells them), those work great too–just be sure not to nuke them in the microwave or boil them first; both methods will mess up their texture and flavor!

How to tell if your dog is done:

When you’re cooking hot dogs on a grill, you’ll want to keep an eye on them so they don’t burn. The easiest way is by looking for these signs:

• A light brown color on the outside of your dog (this tells you that it’s done).
• A firm texture in comparison with raw meat; if it feels squishy or spongy, then it needs more time in the heat.
• A slight charring on top and bottom surfaces–but not so much that they’re burned all over!

How Hot Dogs Are Made

Hot dogs are made from a variety of meats, including pork, beef and chicken. They can also be made from turkey, lamb or veal. Hot dogs can also contain other ingredients that give them a particular flavor or texture–such as spices and preservatives–but they’re mostly made up of meat.

Hot dogs are great for grilling and can be cooked in many different ways.
