The Biggest Mistakes People Make When Grilling Hot Dogs

[@MashedFood]

How do you like to make your hot dogs?

[@dkracingfan2503]

Grilled

[@robleonard6424]

Split in half with Chile.

[@YolandaisYolandaCooks]

[@funkyflashman]

Deep fried

[@Blitzkrieg1976]

Boiled, with banana pepper , mustard, NO KETCHUP! pickles, onions, relish and celery salt. Sometimes tomatoes. Yum.

Not quite. All beef hot dogs are waaaaay better than cheap chicken franks.Nathans, Hebrew National, and Ball Park Frank's are my top three favs. And they have to be grilled, NEVER BOILED....EVER!!!

[@olmec2012]

I love that little tip for testing the heat just hold your hand 🤚3 inches above your grill for 4 seconds . Yea when you smell your skin and hair singe the heat is roughly 400-450 .

[@edharris1408]

Simple technique - drop in boiling water for 5 mins (they're cooked internally), then put on grill to quickly crisp up skin.

[@danielguzman5257]

If you oil the grill while it’s cool, it’ll burn off by the time the grill is hot enough to cook on. That’s why you do it right before. They showed oven cleaner for no stick spray.

[@hypnotistraywilliams]

I thought I saw that too.

[@Sue_V]

Yummy! Oven cleaner chemicals FTW 😂😂

[@t_c5266]

people really make mistakes grilling hot dogs? just dont burn them and BAM, youve got a perfectly grilled hotdog

[@AzraelThanatos]

Grilled buns is something that doesn't really impress me and always seems to ruin them. A nice steamed bun is wonderful, getting you the combo of a nice, soft, and fluffy bun with a crisp hot dog...

[@james_the_darklord]

Wrong! You can cook the hotdogs straight from the freezer by starting with low heat to defrost it.

[@jackrowe5571]

James T. Mar... l take them from the freezer to the skillet with a little water. They steam as they thaw, then brown or blacken when the water is gone.

[@hirolla74]

Those dark charred hot dogs give me good memories from back in the day. We didn't care how it looked ; just wanted that 'char' on it. We'd just peel it off and eat it.

[@johnjordan1357]

I love hot dogs! I agree natural casing dogs are the best but only available in the summer months where I live, Nebraska Panhandle. Personally I like the dogs made from a mixture of beef, pork, chicken lips and duck assholes. I really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.

[@porkbelly0713]

correct, however I like spicy mustard and salsa or a medium hot chili paste

[@shadvan9494]

Agreed, only an animal would put ketchup on a hot dog. Chicago style minus the sport peppers for me, or a really good Cincinnati style chili, cheese and onion.

[@tawpgk]

I shouldn't be watching this at 3am. It's driving crazy for a frankfurter from the German deli.

[@brianmoody2549]

A good cooked hotdog needs a good sap and a good bun, and it’s up to you how you want it to look and taste.

[@rogerhuber3133]

Lots of good info. WHY did they stop making those U-shaped buns? They were great as the dogs nestled down inside and left lots of room for condiments. The "normal" buns aren't even cut right. Usually 1/3 and 2/3 where they break apart and don't support the dogs. They just suck! bring back the U-buns!!

[@phox1515]

I use my pellet smoker for grilling just about everything. I can control the temperature and I get the added smoke flavor bonus. That reminds me, I need to buy more pellets. Just used last of my competition blend on the 4th.

[@EagleScout2019]

I’ve never grilled before. About to for the first time tomorrow. I’m so glad this video was here so I can read the comments. These comments are really helpful.

[@Charles53412]

You apply the oil to the grill grate while it's hot just after you brush it. It seals a coat around the bars of the grilling surface. If you do it before turning on the heat you'll never form that seal and season the grill.

[@ectoplasmicentity]

Sometimes for breakfast I like to grill a Hotdog then chop it up and scramble them with eggs. Place in between 2 breads and enjoy.

[@drcowan3468]

Food of the gods.

[@Garth2011]

The best dogs will be the ones in the natural casings. Although, there are some brands like Hebrew National Beef that are skinless and taste great. Those Costco hot dogs are another great tasting brand but the ultimate experience is those that are in a natural casing.

[@annecollins1741]

Do you recommend cured or uncured hotdogs for grilling?

[@npaladin2000]

I don't toast my buns but I do like to warm them, handy if you're re-tasking some of those cheese slices from burgers to dogs :)

[@RBLong0928]

Grease em and fry or grill em. He he😏

[@muzaaaaak]

Nathan’s hotdogs FTW!

[@ChaseMcCain81]

Yeah

[@francoisroberge5882]

For a top slice buns use mayo instead of butter. It spreads easily and will turn golden brown toast. Do the same for a grill cheese. After all mayo is mostly oil.

[@ogr8bearded175]

I use mayo to make pancakes. The mayo subs for the oil/butter and egg because.....it is oil and egg. 1/2 Cup ea SR flour and milk, Tbsp mayo, Tbsp sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon (opt) is enough for a short stack (3)

I got this tip from Shotgun Red's channel. To get a plump juicy hot dog start with a pan of cold water and bring the hot dogs to a boil for exactly 7 minutes then remove them from the heat.

[@JoelAAK]

Never dis Ted’s Red Hots in Buffalo. You implied that they cook from frozen; they don’t. They cook them over charcoal, and stab them to get that lovely smoke into the interior, and provide that char crunch. High heat, quick sear. No dirty water dogs or griddled in our town!

[@jamessnee7171]

Agreed. They use Sahlen's Hot Dogs and they know how to cook them. Been doing it for decades too. Sahlen's (as in Sahlen Field where the Blue Jays currently play) is the best dog I've ever had. I have a sensitive stomach and it digests so well with no indigestion that it has to be made of decent meats. I consider it health food.

[@jamesleason4004]

I find a hotdog with TOO much of a snap is not only hard to eat but kind of gross. A little pop is fine but I've had some Kayem's that were like trying to eat beef jerky because the damned casing was too thick.

[@SchardtCinematic]

I cook over charcoal and I cook at least 9ne side to a nice dark to black crispy outer shell and then roll them to the other side for a few minutes of cooking and then they are perfect.

[@J_Braz_]

I bake them in a oven at around 300 degrees for 30 minutes then finish them in a skillet with evoo. Moving them Constantly till perfectly charred.

[@smokindave3889]

You never use a grill brush! Use a grill stone, or even an onion. And you are supposed to heat the grate before cleaning. The gunk will come off easier.

[@froggie6608]

Especially a brush with metal bristles, very dangerous. Read up on it folks, Smokin' Dave knows of what he speaks!

If not on the grill or stick over the camp fire, Air fryer, 400 for 3min, put it in the bun, put back in for 1 more min.

I do all my grill cooking with tree wood on the grill. how I cook my dogs on foil how I tell when the grill is ready the hand heat test.
