To step

Method 1 of 5: Grilling hot dogs

1. Turn on the grill. Grilling hot dogs gives them a nice smoky taste and many people find this the best way to prepare them. It doesn't matter what kind of grill you have, so feel free to use a coal, gas or wood grill.
   • While the grill heats up, you can prepare the hot dog buns and additions. Hot dogs are best when fresh from the grill.
   • Make sure one side of the grill is hot and the other side slightly cooler. You can do this by stacking the charcoal slightly higher on one side. If you have a gas grill, you should be able to adjust the heat with knobs to make your hot dogs as tasty as possible.
2. Place the hot dogs on the cooler side of the grill. Place them at an angle so that diagonal stripes will appear on the dog.
3. Serve the hot dogs. Place them in a bun and add a combination of mustard, ketchup, pickles, onions, tomatoes, cheese or sauerkraut.

Method 2 of 5: Cooking hot dogs

1. Remove and serve the hot dogs. Once the hot dogs are cooked, remove them from the water with tongs and gently pat them dry with kitchen paper. Then put the dog in a bun and add a combination of mustard, ketchup, pickles, onions, tomatoes, cheese or sauerkraut.

Method 3 of 5: Microwave hot dogs

1. Place the hot dog in a bowl that is suitable for use in a microwave. Rather use plastic or glass than a metal dish. Make sure the bowl is deep enough and has room for the entire hot dog.
2. Serve the hot dogs. Once the hot dogs are dry, put them in a bun and serve. This quick hot dog preparation can be completed by simply adding mustard and ketchup for easy on-the-go consumption.

Method 4 of 5: Prepare hot dogs in the oven

1. Preheat the oven to about 200 ° C. This hot dog preparation method will give you delicious juicy, blackened hot dogs. In terms of taste, they are close to grilled hot dogs, but no grill is involved here.
2. Place the hot dogs on a baking tray or in a baking pan. The hot dogs will get wet, so if you want to avoid cleaning, use aluminum foil.
3. Serve the hot dogs. Carefully remove the hot dogs from the oven and place them on buns. Hot dogs roasted in the oven are great with chili and cheese. Spoon some chili on top of the hot dog and spread some grated cheese on top, after which you can eat the hot dogs with a fork.

Method 5 of 5: Frying hot dogs

1. Preheat the fryer or fill a frying pan with oil and place it on the stove. Leave some space between the oil and the edge of the pan. Let the oil get warm. You can test whether the liquid is hot enough by throwing a crumb of bread into the oil. If the oil immediately starts to sizzle and sputter, the pan is ready for use.
2. Serve the hot dogs. They are especially delicious with some fried peppers and onions, as an addition to macaroni and cheese or with some ketchup and mustard.

Tips

• It's a good idea to cut some hot dogs before putting them in the microwave. This prevents the water from being absorbed by the delicious hot dogs.
• You can easily adjust the cooking time stated on the package based on your own preferences.

Warnings

• If you are using a fireplace or a campfire, make sure it is done safely. You can fry a hot dog on a stick, but be careful not to burn yourself. When children prepare their own hot dogs, an adult must always be present.
