Hot Dog!

Every time we step into a plane, I always take out the in-flight shopping catalog and gaze wistfully at the Home Pride Ballpark Hot Dog Rotisserie Griller. Sure, you can always get the hot dog/bun combination toaster, but do you really think it will do a better job than the rotisserie griller? Hey, if it’s good enough for movie theaters across the country, then it’s good enough for us!

In our house, we’ve had differing opinions on how to cook a hot dog. I usually boil them for a few minutes into they are cooked. My fiancé likes to cook them on a skillet. Well, with our new rotisserie griller, a détente has been reached.

We just purchased it from our local Fry’s for forty bucks, and tried it out last night. I think we were both a little surprised that the contraption really worked. You can lay up to four hot dogs on the metal rollers, and it takes around ten minutes or so to fully heat up your dogs. You can also toast two buns on its upright metal spikes. Also, unless you cook really oily dogs, the whole thing can be easily cleaned by wiping down the rollers.

It would have been nice if we could toast four buns since you’re cooking four dogs already, but I guess hot dog cooking technology hasn’t quite reached that plateau yet.

The only question now is: how long will this device last? We knew all along that the rotisserie griller could be a piece of crap, and the jury still out on that.

But until then, hot dogs for dinner every night!
