Boiled Hotdogs

Stemming from another thread.
Have you ever boiled hotdogs?
"It's a simple yes or no question. Just say yes and we'll move on."

 

[cychhosis]

Well yeah.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Yes and we'll move on.

 

[Drive4cy]

Yes. Other than grilling, I prefer them that way. Microwave is OK but they are too leathery for my taste.

Wow, can't believe this has garnered its own thread...

Growing up, hot dogs were boiled. As noted in the other thread, I'm not a fan of the boiled hot dog. I prefer grilled. The GF also grew up with boiled hot dogs, but loves them still. Sounds like a war on the home front is brewing :unsure:

Edit: On the poll above, I answered "No" because I have never personally boiled a hot dog.

 

[ISUKyro]

never

microwave or cold works just fine for me

"Hey.... hey.... would you rather be the top scientist in your field or have mad cow?"

And no, I never have boiled hot dogs.

Bad poll, should ask if boiling is a stupid way to cook hot dogs.

 

[alarson]

Yes- when made with mac n cheese. throw the hot dog in with the noodles.

 

[RedBlooded]

does throwing them in the fryer count as boiling?

[Cyclonepride]

I voted yes, but I simply cannot move on. I need context. I need a story to go along with it. Why? What? When? Where?

 

[Al_4_State]

Is this thread serious? If you aren't grilling them, it's the best way to cook 'em.

Who hasn't boiled a hot dog before? Doesn't mean that's the best way to cook one.

 

[3TrueFans]

If I'm not grilling a hot dog it means I want it done fast, boiling water and then cooking for 5 minutes or whatever is not fast. Microwave *******.

Didn't say it was the best way to cook them.

 

[Neckbeard]

Always had them boiled as a kid. When I grew up I moved on to the microwave. I have never looked back.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Does boiling them make the weiner more moist?

 

[CycloneNorth]

It takes 5 min. to boil a hotdog and it's worth it.

In days of yore boiled was the way dogs were cooked unless grilled. Now-a-days the micro had taken that away.

My second favorite way to cook a dog, after grilled, is split lengthwise and fried in a skillet with a little margarine. You get a nice brown grill-like coating. YUM!
