I don’t want to go grill it outside because it is cloudy today.

And boiling it makes it kinda flobby.

Has anyone grilled a hotdog in a bread toaster before? any hints?

    • I suppose I could turn it off then use the fork.
    • Would tinfoil be an acceptable alternative? the tin would transfer the heat to the hotdog as to prevent the juices from staining the inside. this would also subtract the issue of the hotdog needing a fork.
    • Do vegan dogs change this situations?

    I do have to consider a toaster oven, they are far more convenient compared to my full sized oven.

        WAIT-

        I didn’t think about this!

        I’ll totally experiment with that method.

        I don’t have a big enough pan, but a pot should do.

          I pan fry hotdogs all the time. I put a little water in the pan to help the hotdogs heat all the way through and then let it burn off and fry them a bit to get them slightly crispy.

          You need to do yourself a favor and go get yourself a proper frying pan/skillet. It doesn’t need to be an expensive or nice one, but if you don’t have one that can fit a few hot dogs, your kitchen is way under equipped.

          You can always slice the hotdog up if your pan isn’t large enough - unlike sausage the casing on a hotdog is more for appearance than to keep all the bits inside (hotdogs are basically solid tubes of stuff) so if you slice it in half to reduce its length you probably won’t notice when eating it.
