when I go a local hot dog stand, like on the east coast Abe's hot dogs.
I can eat his hot dogs till they close. I have been trying to make an
edible hot dog at home, I miss 90% of the time,I had a hot dog at a
local pic nic they were great, I ask the lady what kind they were she
told me and I boiled them in water like they did, mushy hot dog,yuk! and
the sauce, for 20yrs I tried every store brand out there none we like,
even tried making some, but looking for a meat sauce recipe that dosen't
taste like chile con carne ect. any suggestions so we can make a better
hot dog at home, I think most of it is in the sauce.

Chet, it sounds like you boil your hot dogs too long. Just five minutes
is plenty after the water reaches the boiling point and don't put the
hot dogs in the water until its bubbling hot.


No, no, no... always start meat in cold water or the proteins will
sieze... they'll be tough on the exterior with mushy interiors... cook
dawgs like boiling spuds, and other root veggies... always start in
cold water... folks who screw up their corned beef nine times outta
ten they dumped the meat into burlin' water and then burl the piss
outta it... it'll never cook up tender so that it's sliceable without
falling apart. Then bring just to the simmer (being careful to never
let them boil) and lower the heat so it doesn't even bubble... stew
the dawgs for at least an hour... if not sure check with a thermometer
that the water is at 190ºF +/- 2ºF. Dawgs can sit in this hot water
all day but are best after like 2-3 hours. I often have dawgs for
lunch but start them right after my morning coffee.... same as the
Sabrett pushcart guys do. Btw, this is for the dawgs without natural
casings... for those with natural casings they cook best with a hot
dog steamer. There are special hot dog griddles that have holes for
steam, they griddle and steam simultaneously... the moisture leaches
out the extraneous salts and fats. The worst way to cook hot dogs is
fried and grilled, save your grill for the cheapo ball park/oscar
mayer crap.

I don't know about you, but I have always been suspect about BallPark
Franks. What exactly is in them that makes them larger ('plump when you cook
them') when cooked?

Cereal... ie. cream of wheat.
