Some people like to boil their hot dogs. I never saw the point of that. A hot dog that comes out of a pot of
simmering water will never have the crisp snap of a grilled hot dog, nor will it have any of the toasty grill marks.
For me, the only ways to cook a hot dog are under the broiler or over a hot barbecue. After seeing this Hot Dog Toaster from Hammacher
Schlemmer, I may just reconsider, though. It toasts both dog and bun in the same machine in just minutes, with
settings to adjust the heat so you don't burn your buns. A toaster like this would giver a similar effect to a real
grill and will definitely give you better results than you will get from a limp, boiled dog. It retails for $49.95.

My father (an OG "original gadget" lover from way back) actually bought this Hot Diggity Dogger waaaaaaay back in something like the late 80's.
I was be able to come home from a hard day's highschooling and make myself a delicious lunch. The thing is awesome, makes delicious franks, and now that I have a German wife... comes in handy with the oversized holes being able to handle a fat wurst now and then.
Highly recommended!
