"Yankee Stadium. September. Hot dogs have been boiling since the opening day in April." --Heywood Floyd, "2010: The Year We Make Contact"

I've never understood this, though. Doesn't boiling just turn everything soft and mushy, and transfer nutrients to the water? Why would you boil hot dogs instead of frying, grilling, barbecuing... anything but boiling.

Simmer, sear, serve. It's the only proper way.

Hotdogs can be eaten cold from the can, theyre already cooked at the factory

You're not cooking them, they're in a casing and you're just warming them up, you can grill them for added flavour but at the end of the day they're pre seasoned and smoked at the factory anyway
>>
>>22118132
that's too complicated.
>>
>>22118162
Pretty sure they strip the casing off in the factory though once they're done cooking them.
>>
>>22118168
They definitely have a "skin" from the steaming at least, you can see a colour difference on the inside near and the outer layer
>>
>>22118128
Hot dogs taste best when boiled and don’t wind up with that crunchy / chewy texture you get from the grill - that’s a good thing

My family calls them rot dogs and we either grill them, sear them, boil them, or bake them.
>>
>>22118128
There's a time and place for any method of cooking. Do I prefer a nice grilled dog? Sure at a barbeque. However, at say a ballgame a boiled hot dog all wrapped up in foil so it steams the bun for a good soft bite is fine too.
>>
>>22118215
Your joking right
>>
>>22118233
No? I'm not going to a ballgame to eat gourmet food. I'm there to see Cubans throw 105mph fast balls and big fat white dudes smack them 400 feet. I can enjoy whatever hot dog gets me back to my seat faster.
>>
>>22118128
The point is to keep them hot. They're already cooked at the factory so it isn't about cooking them, its about heating them up. Every other heating method you mentioned will either dry them out or burn them. Boiling them in water will keep them hot and ready to go all day long.

Also, as far as boiling stuff out of them, processed meats like hot dogs have some unhealthy stuff in them like nitrites and whatever else. I don't know if that gets leached out by boiling, but if it does then it actually makes them healthier because that stuff is toxic and you don't want to be eating that anyway really.
>>
>>22118128

I actually prefer my dogs boiled. My family doesn't know how to grill for the life of them so I've only ever had burnt dogs for most of my life.
>>
>>22118128
I put them in the air fryer for 7 minutes.

>>22118599
burnt glizzers are the best. a little char might put some hair on your chest boy

That only happens when you cook them for too long or cut them open
>>

There's a difference between a little char and the entite thing plus most of the core being soot.

Sodium Nitrate. More moisture to do cosmetic sear on the grill. Keeps them hot on a cold New England day in the dog cart.

Steamed is the proper method. Doesn't dry them out like frying/grilling/baking, but doesn't leech the flavor and nutrients out like boiling.

Take the steam pill.

Like this, except I don't wrap the bacon around it, i just stuff it to one side then cheese on the other, often overlapping the already cooked bacon.

Quebec has Hot Dogs perfected and I cherished the couple years I lived there. The made the outside of the buns toasted and often had chou or coleslaw in the dogs. I could go to a nice diner and get 2-3 toasties, some ballin' ass french fries and a pop for like $5 in 2010. French fries almost always made in house. Malt vinegar and seasoning salt/pepper available. And of course, they had poutine, which everywhere does now but they were the original with the squeaky curds that melt so perfect under the hot gravy. And I wasn't in Montreal, I was in real QC, where everybody spoke French. I learned before I went but was obviously not perfect. They always helped me out, because I would at least try to speak my Franglais.

boiling hot dogs does not make them softer, and all it does is cook out the fat.
>>
Red "kosher" or "nathan's" hot dogs, the ones with the red casing. Fried or raw chopped onions, ketchup, mustard. Sometimes I'll smash an avocado into the bottom of the bun. Put that fucking hot dog in the air fryer. Get it crispy, get it charred. Now enjoy the cronch. God, I must have so many polyps in my colon.

Boiling is believed to be the most cost effective way to cook/heat them. For me it was either pan fry or grill. If you're microwaving, cut them down the middle to make them less explosive.

>>22118162
>theyre already cooked at the factory

True, people used to eat them cold out of the pack before the listeria crisis of the early 90's and subsequent ones after. The last listeria crisis proved that even reputable companies like Boar's Head don't even check their cures meats.

That doesn't apply to hot dogs. They become fatter, springier, and better tasting.

Mostly salt and fat from the outermost layers. Hot dogs are a not like meat with whole cells and biological structure. It's pulverized meat matter reformed and suspended in a solid media.
