I usually microwave my hot dogs unless I am grilling that day. Hot dogs on the grill are the best kind of hot dogs in my opinion.
How do you usually cook your hot dogs?
My mother used to boil hot dogs when I was a kid.
I basically can't eat them unless they've been charred at spots. Hot dogs are sort of disgusting otherwise.
Grill is used for special occasions.
Otherwise, if I want a quick and easy lunch, I just microwave 'em.
I usually boil them but its only because i'm lacking in manliness and can't grill for shit. They def taste better grilled, preferably a little burnt.
" Good lord. I DON"T eat hot dogs. They are awful and will kill you. Any idea what crap they put in them? "Calm down, mechanically separated isn't all that bad. It just means hot dog goodness, plus a few extras.
In a pinch, I wrap my hot dogs in a wet paper towel and microwave, otherwise, grilled.

Health effects
An American Institute for Cancer Research report found that consuming one 50-gram serving of processed meat — about one hot dog — every day increases risk ofcolorectal cancer by 20 percent.The Cancer Project group filed a class-action lawsuit demanding warning labels on packages and at sporting events.Hot dogs are high in fat and salt and have preservatives sodium nitrate and nitrite, believed to cause cancer.According to the AICR, the average risk of colorectal cancer is 5.8 percent, but 7 percent when a hot dog is consumed daily over years.
Hot dogs present a choking risk: 17% of food-related asphyxiations are caused by hot dogs. It is suggested that redesign of size, shape and texture would reduce the risk.
I don't have a deck in my building, so no grill. I bust out the skillet, cut two in half lengthwise, then put them on hot toast with a slice of cheese to melt over them and some relish and mustard. Got myself a sammich. Ain't too shabby. Even better when it's a polish sausage instead of a durger.
As a friend of mine from Kyneton once said; "arseholes and elbows". :P The first time I met him he was covered in sheep's blood, we had yummy fresh lamb chops for dinner that night. His favourite joke about the country; "it's full of cunts in trees"." Good lord. I DON"T eat hot dogs. They are awful and will kill you. Any idea what crap they put in them? "
gas or charcoal grill always! if its super cold or like a blizzard outside then i will boil them, but a not grilled durger really isn't worth having.
Durgers are good and all but if you really want something kind of the same but 100 times better go with a good bratwurst, soaked in beer and onions for a good few hours ahead of time, now thats good eats!
If possible, I'll always use the grill. Otherwise, they go in the toaster oven!
BTW: Nitrate free dogs are the way to be! Sure, they go bad faster, but they don't give you cancer and they taste even better imho.

If you're gonna eat "crap", eat the healthiest crap you can.
Has to be on the grill, burned to a crisp. Hot dogs are fucking disgusting. But if you nearly carbonize them with an open flame, then slather them with relish, mustard, onions, ketchup, cheese, and maybe chili, they're not so bad. Because you can't taste them anymore.
First I usually decide the night before I want hot dogs the next day and I'll let them soak in a puddle outside my house, of course it has to have recently rained.
Then the following morning I'll catch my morning piss in a jar.
Once it is lunch time I go retrieve the now bloated hot dogs.
I bring the urine to a boil and leave the hot dogs in it for about fourty minutes.
Once finished the hot dogs are about the size of a baby's forearm, have the dexterity of a car tire, and smell like a gas station toilet. Yum.
i personally wrap them in bacon and saute them in a skillet with some onions and peppers. Sometimes ill grill them too, but then i have to cook the bacon and onions separate, and it's way better if you cook everything together.
" long and hard "Ha. That gave me a good laugh.
Anyway, I usually microwave them. It's the most convenient method.
