Adding air fryer hot dogs to my list.

Sounds better than boiled hot dogs.

It turns the absolutely cheapest hotdog into crispy skinned tasties. It is now my default method of all tube meats.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I should stock up on tube meats.

Boiling is the worst way to prepare hot dogs. Even a microwave can produce better results. Boiling causes juices to leach out and the texture is no better than when it was taken out of the package.

Notice how boiling is not listed on this page: https://nathansfranks.sfdbrands.com/en-us/articles/hot-dog-blog/how-to-cook-the-perfect-hot-dog/

It's tough to improve on perfection!

In my other comment I said how I love them boiled but this reminds me - when I was around 5 years old I used to sneak to the fridge and eat raw hotdogs. So maybe that's why I love them boiled today?

I hate microwaved hotdogs

[–] LordMayor@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago

You can cook them in a regular oven or fry them in a pan. Anything is better than boiled.

I used to drive to the local Home Depot just to get the hotdogs they sold out front, then I learned they were so good because they were boiled and I just started doing it at home.

Anyway, my point is, boiled hot dogs are the best hot dogs!

When I was in college my room mate boiled hot dogs in my electric tea kettle and I still haven’t forgiven her. It was in 2004.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry that happened to you. Have you reached out to them to see if they want to apologize?

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It wouldn’t take away the memory of hot dog flavored tea, so what’s the point.

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Lol that is nasty! I once got the flu after eating 2-3 hotdogs (I was a teenager) and puked them up. The taste of them coming up stopped me eating them for about 5 years. I imagine hotdog flavored tea wouldn't taste much better

[–] MakingWork@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have bad news for you- the concensus in this comment section says boiling is the worst.

But that's ok- I'll continue to boil because I don't know any better.

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The comments are WRONG, maaan

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

I worked one of those dirty-water hot dog carts back in the day. Those things just sat in that water all day, sometimes 2 or 3. That’s where all the flavor is.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago

Boiling is really only best for Sabretts.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago

I didn't know people willfully boiled their hotdogs. Just pan fry it.
