The curl a dog actually makes hot dog spirals. You grill it with the skewer because you are supposed to expand the curl to get more crispy bits. The skewer holds everything in place. It's not for scoring but for spiralizing. :)
Maybe I should use some mustard!... 😂 Quickly changes subject! 🤣🤣 Slowly slides the failure out of frame!! Im dieing of laughter over here!!!! 😂 😂 Omg!!!
That Hot Doglicious would be great for after school snacks. It’s easy enough for an older child to use, even with the 2 step cooking time to get the bun steamed just right. And a single hot dog is enough to keep an older kid held over until dinner is ready without spoiling their appetite.
For those that choose the oven, you could dice an onion while it cooks, or prep whatever else you might like to put on there. It looks like the buns would fit better if you put them all in sideways as well. The hotdogger may work better on some buns better than others. If I were to use it, I would poke the bun from both ends, put some mustard on one end, and use the wiener to spread it as you load it up.
I've been scoring hotdogs enough to lay them flat on a plate. I then microwave them at least 1 minute for each hotdog. The buns go in a toaster width for bagels. I've been doing this for 40 years. It makes a great hotdog and bun combination.
@@tylern6420 the version where you make a hole but not all the way through is called a french hotdog. If you use a knife and make a slit it's just a hotdog and no longer a french hotdog.
When I was growing up Hammacher Schlemmer (among others) sold a device called the HotDogger that basically electrocuted the hotdog back when two open 120 volt AC electrodes and a plug was a perfectly acceptable kitchen device!
4:15 I had recently reheated chorizo dogs (in their original foil wrap) from the Raiders Alliance Stadium. I'd suggest wrapping this in a damp paper towel which should better steam the bun without it getting too chewy from microwaving. Worked great on the leftover stadium dogs.
i love the smoked sausages that they cook at convenience stores that have rolled for hours. they are horrible horrible for you but its a once or twice a year guilty pleasure.
You guys have got it all wrong, you put a plate in the microwave with some water coating it. Heat that up for a good 10 minutes and then put the hotdog in the bun on the hot plate and let it heat them.
The first is the best one. Almost everyone has a microwave plus it would be so easy to store. The electric ones would take up too much storage space so unless hotdogs were your main food source, not worth it.
Pedantic comment: The LEDs probably *are* blinking, albeit in a way that is imperceptible to the human eye. Your camera's shutter speed has timing which allows the blinking to be visible. Steve Mould discusses this issue at ua-cam.com/video/c6NFuJMfmYU/v-deo.html .
TheAguydude yea I mean I feel like that should be common knowledge but I could be wrong, alot of people don't care to learn and are complete idiots so..
It blinks due to the current flowing into it being AC current, if you film a light bar on a truck it won’t be flashing because that has DC current flowing to it
I must be slightly more of a pedant than you -- what we are all interested in is whether the LEDs are VISIBLY blinking... nobody gives a damn about blinking so fast that you can't tell. Even a regular light bulb blinks 60 times per second.
On the hot dog toaster, I actually smash the buns flat before putting them in -- it's not pretty, but it works better without burning the edges of the buns. I also cook the hot dog for two cycles, one with bun and one without.
In Czech Republic, the hotdogger would find some use, since our hotdogs are prepared differently. First you take a roll/bun without a slit, cut one tip off, make a hole with some sort of spike, but not completely through, pour ketchup or mustard inside the hole and then insert cooked sausage inside. This way everything is conveniently kept inside the bun. So the Hotdogger would make some sense here, but usually our spikes are smooth and made out of metal, some even toast the bun from inside.
I had one of those toasters and I wore it out. I used it for the hot dogs only. I prefer my hot dog buns steamed, not dried out and burnt on the sides.
Although that hotdogger reamer thingy was an epic fail (not your fault), I think probably it's meant to go in both ends. Kind of like when you're filling a cannoli you don't go all the way in from one end. I realize how pervy this all sounds, but just throwing in my two cents worth! Enjoyable and entertaining as always, James! Thank you.🌭💜
I remember seeing commercials for The Hotdogger on Facebook several months ago, and they were VERY suggestive and pretty funny. I thought it was a joke.
I recommend cutting the top off the bun before using the Hotdogger. That's the way hot dogs are sold in Austria. We don't really use sliced buns. :) Love your video btw
The hot dogger is ridiculous. Why did they make the handle part so big? lol. If the handle was the same size as the 'drill' part it would probably actually work. I don't understand how that makes it out of the design stage lol. I was thinking maybe 'drill' half the bun at a time, but still lol, this makes no sense! I find it actually frustrating how bad the design is 🤣
One complaint I have with a lot of these types of channels is that no one bothers with the instructions. Either they don’t read them or don’t follow them.
If you want to toast a hot dog bun it is a lot easier to just place them on top of your toast for a few seconds and then flip them over for a few more seconds.
when i was in the czech republic there were stands with contraptions similar to the hotdogger. they were heated metal poles that ran the length of the bun but they were a uniform width. the person selling the hotdogs would shoot mustard in the hole then put in the hotdog. those worked much better than the hotdogger and was always a great thing to get on my trips
Hey James, can you do a video on bathroom scales? I'd like to see how various scales stack up against your testing for accuracy and consistency. And which provides the best value and features. I'll refrain from purchasing a new scale till then. Thanks!
I trick I use sometimes with the hot dog toaster is to take kitchen shears and trim a smidge off the buns before you put them in. Keeps the edges from getting wedged in the corners so they don't burn or get stuck in there as much. Much easier to get them back out. Plus, if you're like me and like plain old bread as a snack sometimes, you got something to nosh on while you're waiting on your lunch. Or you can feed 'em to the dogs or chuck 'em outside for the birds or whatever. Put the condiments on first and lay the hot dog on top (little trick I learned from my hometown hot dog joint) to keep everything as contained as possible and you're good to go.
@@JuicyPricklePeach ya and my response was that the channels are not even close and that freakin reviews is way better .. sorry if that offended you for some odd reason .. snowflake much?
It makes me happy when I see how much you enjoy these things. I definitely would get the same thrill out of just messing with random gadgets off the internet
7:30 *_"You're supposed to unplug it before fishing it out, which I did."_* Uh yeah, no kidding. Depending on how up-to-code your house's wiring is, There's a very good chance that the toaster's heating elements are live at 120Vac even when the switch is up. Good call, taking the instructions seriously.
You said, Wander hot dog buns, lol, so funny. We used to have a Wonder Bread Bakery in our crappy city of Toledo, Ohio. It was the coolest, all their products, fresh breads, and the buns were the greatest you ever had. Great review and nice memories of the bakery.
My hot dog toaster is a summer staple. I put them down twice, turning them around between so they get yummy done. They usually burst open, but I like that. :-) Thanks for another great review.
This was uploaded on my birthday. Thank you for the gift. It was obviously intentional, sorry it took so long to receive. To the timer, my cheapie apartment size washing machine does the same. Its a cheap timer mechanism just has a little extra tick room but the product turns off when it says, at least my washing machine does.
Bored people with disposable income who will practically buy anything off the TV and then sell it for a dollar at a yard sale a year later after using it once because their houses are full of stuff. Also hopeless single males who cant cook for shit might get this as a birthday gift.
I'm on my second hot dog toaster, it's a nice alternative to the grill, or during the winter. And, at about $15, they're cheap to buy even if they last a couple of years maybe.
16:28 I wouldn't be too worried about the timer still ticking when the toaster is off. I've had a few "toaster ovens" like that. It's a purely mechanical timer that cuts the power when it reaches zero and rings the bell, but the on/off switch cutts the power even further upstream than that, so it's fine.
Edit: yeah what I describe is often done, where there is a microcontroller. Here, as pointed out in the replies, there doesnt seem to be any Im an electronics engineer, and here's the in depth (yet simple) of why the lights only blink on camera. It's caused by a trick used to make stuff cheaper, and its called multiplexing. Basically, a red LED requires you to connect 2 V from postive to negative. What these people do is that they use one pin for both LEDs, with one LED between the pin and 0 V, and the other LED between the pin an 2 V. Now here's the magic part: turn the pin off, and now it has 0V on it, so the led between 2V and the pin turns on. Now turn the pin on at 2V, the LED between it and 0V will turn on, and the other now sees 2V on both sides so it turns off. Technically, only one LED can ever be on. So what do they do when they need both on? Easy. They turn the pin on and off real fast. Your eyes just see dimmer LEDs and that's it. Now your camera has a timer, it tells it when to start the next of the 30 frames a second among many other things. Similarly, the toaster has a timer too, thought it might just be counting the grid pulses which are fixed at a very specific frequency. Anyway, it is statistically very improbable for two fixed frequency things to line up, hence why you see the strobe effect go from horrible to ok. But also hence why helicopter blades can be filmed stationary, they dont have a fixed timing
@Lassi Kinnunen oh wait, youre right, I have no idea why when writing this comment I was thinking of the toaster. Doh Yes, you are very right, these LEDs are always on, so yeah its just a simple dropper circuit. Talk about overengineering lol
At 14:43 looks like the Hot Dog Oven was cooking unevenly, the dogs look (at least on camera) like they're nearly raw on the right side, and crisply cooked on the left. The dog in front also looks like it "plumped" on the left and is still narrow to the right.
I just ordered the coca cola hotdog toaster Friday. I've always wanted one. I should have thought to see if you had reviewed it or not before I bought it but too late! Lol glad to see it did well. I'm super excited to get it.
Nostalgia also has a rolling hot dog cooker that was not very impressive. Took forever to heat up and cook the dogs. However, that said, I also have their toaster unit. It’s great! In fact, I had some trouble with the push down handle and they replaced the unit free of charge. Great customer service. My favorite unit? The “Hot Dog Hero”. I got it at Toys R Us, and for a great steamed hot dog, it works better that any of the other cookers. Cost was about $5.00, and the dogs are come out hot and crunchy. Also, the unit barks when it’s done cooking. Drives my service dog nuts.
our local joints in aus have a heated spike they stick a soft bun on, then they take it off once heated and run a bit of sauce in the hole and slide frank in it. great idea imo. makes them easy and clean to eat.

That Hot Doglicious would be great for after school snacks. It’s easy enough for an older child to use, even with the 2 step cooking time to get the bun steamed just right. And a single hot dog is enough to keep an older kid held over until dinner is ready without spoiling their appetite.

If you want the hotdogger to be effective you need to stop before you get to the big end and flip the roll around and go in from the other side
Yeah definitely one time when you don’t want to go balls deep
you're not supposed to go all the way through the bread. You make a deep hole and then you put your condiment of choice and then the sausage.
Or just use a knife to make a slit in the bun
and I guess the hotdogger is a failed imitation of a thing taht makes these tube hot dogs

I knew as soon as I saw the hot dog bun this was wrong. 55 seconds on high is waaaayyy too long for a bun. 15 - 20 sec max.
Your instincts were right for sure.
And besides if I'm going to cook a hot dog in the microwave I'm not going to use a gadget. Put the dog in the bun and just throw it in lol
@@kaitlynmitchell8937 If I do that the bun gets greasy and damp. If I'm going to nuke a hotdog, I put it on my bacon plate and the bun off to the side
For me, 10 second buns. Throw the dog in for 1 minute, tent with the bun the last 10-12 seconds.

I Have Watched A Lot Of Your Review Videos And Have Gotten Many Ideas Of What To Buy, What Not And Many Laughs Which We All Need. Thanks🐣
I had no idea that hotdog technology was so lit!
In Czech Republic, the hotdogger would find some use, since our hotdogs are prepared differently. First you take a roll/bun without a slit, cut one tip off, make a hole with some sort of spike, but not completely through, pour ketchup or mustard inside the hole and then insert cooked sausage inside. This way everything is conveniently kept inside the bun. So the Hotdogger would make some sense here, but usually our spikes are smooth and made out of metal, some even toast the bun from inside.
In the UK our *Hot Dog Style* buns are not usually pre-cut. We mostly use them for sandwiches because Hot Dogs aren't as popular over here. ^-^
I really wish they weren't pre-cut here either. They're always cut way off to one side or the other, never down the center.
When you said "maybe I should use the mustard" I cried laughing. What a good video.

I love microwaved hot dogs, especially when they split open, I cook them long enough to get slightly crispy where they split.
What about cleanup? We’re the two electric units easy or difficult to clean after use?
Nostalgia also has a rolling hot dog cooker that was not very impressive. Took forever to heat up and cook the dogs. However, that said, I also have their toaster unit. It’s great! In fact, I had some trouble with the push down handle and they replaced the unit free of charge. Great customer service. My favorite unit? The “Hot Dog Hero”. I got it at Toys R Us, and for a great steamed hot dog, it works better that any of the other cookers. Cost was about $5.00, and the dogs are come out hot and crunchy. Also, the unit barks when it’s done cooking. Drives my service dog nuts.
I love my Hotdog toaster.
And that toasteroven actually does actual sausages pretty well.
What was the music used at 12:20, anyone know? It sounds familiar.
I'm from the south and never have seen a scored hotdog, is there a difference? plus seems its be harder to cook without a skewer.
our local joints in aus have a heated spike they stick a soft bun on, then they take it off once heated and run a bit of sauce in the hole and slide frank in it. great idea imo. makes them easy and clean to eat.
The Hot Dogger: Proof that most people who make kitchen devices have never heard of a knife.
Come at it from both sides with the hot dogger 🤣🤣 perfect wording and for real homie. There are two sides to it hahaha
The day I buy a “hot dog gadget” is the day I need to change my life choices
Oh man, I wanted to get a Hot Doglicious but they are sold out on Amazon, good job!

"I'm only this far in"
The drill one is great when you use french baguette instead of a hotdog bun. I love that way of making hotdogs
