on the grill and split them once they're thawed out so they cook in the middle

 

[Ramma2]

Straight to the grill.

Brats on the otherhand, a nice boil in beer and onions before grilling really adds to the flavour. Then all you have to do is brown up the outsides and eat. Mmmmmmm

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

wrap with bacon then deep fry

 

[Electric Amish]

If you boil them with sauerkraut then I can understand, but boiling and then grilling doesn't make sense.

Steaming hotdogs is the way to go!

Funny discussion between friends yesterday,

I like to boil them first so its well-cooked inside before I put them on the grill and gets rid of some of the grease.

Then I get 2 people to strongly disagree with the main argument that it tastes better if grilled directly.

YOU SADIST!!!

The authoritites should pull your hot dog cooking license! Someone what is the SPCHD phone number.

Grill them or broil them DON'T boil them!;}

Especially if they are Hoffmann's or Meier and Ranz.

Steamed FTW! Use to love Boiled, but after I steamed one I was hooked. I throw 2-3 Nathens in the steamer with enough water so if I forget about them for 30 minutes while doing other things I don't burn the shit out of the pan. You can't overcook them like on the grill. Peeeeerfect every time!

The *best* way to cook hotdogs is by electrocuting them. I do this in physics class every year when teaching the differences between parallel and series circuits. The kids always remark about how much better tasting the hot dogs are than when cooked other ways.

(Oh, for what it's worth, it takes roughly 4 times as long to cook 2 hotdogs in series than to cook 2 hotdogs in parallel, as expected. The difference is usually 3 or 4 percent.)

Same here. I liked grilled better, but who has the time to fire up the grill just for a hotdog?

I guess you own a charcoal grill as a propane or natural gas grill can easily be "fired" up in minutes.

Yeah, I don't particularly care for gas grills.

Lump Charcoal FTW.

Fixed.

I made some smoked hot dogs a week or so back. I got the 1/4 lb dogs, split them in half the long way, filled them with cheddar cheese, then wrapped them in bacon. I put them in the smoker for about 1.5 hours. Yum.

Steamed Dodger Dogs at the stadium at around the 3rd or 4th inning.

[eplebnista]

I either boil them or pan fry them, but not both.

I agree lump charcoal is far better. trouble is finding it.

I showed this thread to my wife, didnt have the same effect.

 

[OS]

does it make sense to boil anything besides eggs since the hot water causes flavor to leach out?

i mean i guess since hot dogs have that skin to protect them it doesn't really lose much but on the principle i don't like anything boiled.

 

[Howard]

I parboil my sausages before grilling them, just so they don't dry out as much.

 

[Fritzo]

I've never heard of anyone boiling hotdogs they're going to grill.

They're precooked and edible right out of the package you know?

 

[mobobuff]

1. Dogs on plate.
2. Microwave.
3. Dogs in bun.
4. Condiments.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

I think some people have gotten the cooking method for brats confused with the cooking method for dogs. As others have pointed out, dogs are cooked and edible right out of the package. All you're doing is heating them and imparting a nice grilled taste. Boiling first won't hurt them any, it's just a wasted step.

Now for brats, you want to simmer them slowly to get them cooked through and well heated before grilling.

 

[compuwiz1]

Go ahead, fix yer self a couple dogs! :laugh:

 

[KLin]

Boil them in beer!! mmm good.
