We can debate all day about the best topping for a hot dog or why it’s mustard. But when it comes to how to cook a hot dog, there’s no dispute. Here’s the absolute way:
Roast Over Flame or Grill
If you fancy a well-browned hot dog with campfire notes, this is the best method you choose. The results will be a tender specimen with well-seared casings carrying extra scorch flavors. You’ll enjoy the beyond standard salty and meaty hot dog. If you’re craving a well-browned dog with browned butter notes only, simply sear over the stovetop.
Boil in Beer
For a juicy and flavorful hot dog, boiling in beer will give you a plump contender that tastes more than any other. For an exceptionally juicy hot dog with muted flavor, you should boil it in water instead. Both methods will give you plump hot dogs.
Oven Roasting
To prepare a hot dog that impersonates the one you’d get from those mesmerizing rotating racks in your convenience store, consider oven roasting. It’s a beautiful way to develop great flavor similar to grilling them. Consider placing the hot dogs under the broiler for a few seconds after baking to crisp up the outsider.
