Most delicious way to cook wieners?

[puqdew]

so all i have in the fridge is a 12-pack of wieners. whats the best way to serve it

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Order yourself some buns online.

 

[olds]

Figures the OP would be into bulk wieners...

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Boil them, wrap with white bread and cover in tomato sauce. Win.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Grilled is best.

 

[Rubycon]

With 230V of course!

[F1N3ST]

Toaster.

in my mouth. NOM!

Oh and BTW the shocking thing DOES work and is fast but you know it doesn't taste the same. It's hard to explain. I cooked one for a friend and she said it tasted electrocuted! I thought that was hilarious because I don't know what electricity tastes like. It reminded me when someone complains their food tastes funky and when asked they reply with "it tastes like chemicals". Ugh.

So perhaps the fastest way but not the tastiest. I guess it depends on your likes and toppings. We were eating them naked no buns or anything so any funkiness would've been easier to taste as well.

Stepping up the voltage just causes breakdown to occur faster (as seen near the end of the video) however that was at line voltage. Going several kilovolts and 1-2A (thousands of watts) and getting a sudden breakdown causes an expulsion of flaming bits of beef and hog intestine which some may find quite gross.D:

the best wieners still have their casing :sneaky:

I cook hotdogs for my physics class each year. We're in the states, so it's 120V. The video of last year's hotdogs is somewhere on the school's website, but I don't know where they put it. I about died laughing when one of my students did the scene from the Green Mile: "Electricity shall now be passed through your body until you are dead, in accordance with state law. May God have mercy on your soul."

We wire the hotdogs up in parallel & series circuits. As predicted, it takes just slightly more than 4 times as long to cook 2 hotdogs in a series circuit vs. 2 in a parallel circuit. (Time measured from when the switch is thrown to when the Ball Park franks "plump" and the skin rips open.)

edit: and despite what Rubycon posted, I frequently have students who claim they were the best tasting hotdogs they've had in a long time. No "funny" taste to them at all, unless there's arcing at the electrodes (nails)

 

[aircooled]

Fry in butter.

 

[bobdole369]

Boiled weiners is disgusting. I can't stand that people think that is good.

Fry them dry until they burn. Eat that shit.

Were they eating them naked?
How long do they take at 120V?
We had 230V. A variac was in the lab but we never tried using lower voltage.
That's the fun part about electrical experiments you always want to go higher in power not lower.

Were the nails common steel nails? I hope they weren't galvanized!

 

[DrPizza]

Yes, the nails *were* galvanized. I chuck them in a drill & sand them to remove any zinc before using them to cook with. I may switch over to stainless steel this year just to save some time & effort.

Some ate them "naked", some with a roll & others added mustard or ketchup. I've never had a complaint about a funny taste & have done this for years.

 

[sandorski]

In the Oven 400 f. When they start to split, they're ready.

You should use platinum wires for best results. 316 stainless steel is an adequate substitute.

If you can you should repeat the results with higher voltage.

The brand name may have influence as well. I have not done this in years.

I've burned various foodstuffs with lasers but it just ablates the surface and makes holes in it.

Never ate anything from these type of experiments either because of the severe charring.

[IronWing]

Wrap in bacon, fry in bacon fat.

 

[mmntech]

On the BBQ off course, just lightly cooked enough to heat them through. I hate burnt hotdogs.

7-11 does sell buns BTW.

 

[IronWing]

Huevos con winis

 

[shortylickens]

I understand Lorena Bobbit cooks a good wiener.

 

[GlacierFreeze]

Let them marinate in your mouth.

 

[IronWing]

Find someone with a biodiesel and shove them up their tailpipe.
