I don’t want to go grill it outside because it is cloudy today.
And boiling it makes it kinda flobby.
Has anyone grilled a hotdog in a bread toaster before? any hints?
Edit 1:
Pan fried following this advice!
I had a delicious meal!!!
Thank you @tokookah@discuss.tchncs.de!
The hotdog fits in my frying pan!
Completed dog
It would probably work in a pinch, but do not use the darkness settings, keep a very close eye on it.
darkness? why would that effect things?
It’s usually the influence of the Darkness that prompts people to put hotdogs in a toaster. Don’t listen to what it tells you about the bathtub either.
I’m saying don’t use the timer, do manual control.
Ah, So set it to the minimum time and use a fork / knife to rotate it?
(this is not sarcasm, I am genuinely asking)
Please do not stick a fork/knife into a bread toaster.
I’ve heard about getting electric shocks, but surely the coils inside are depowered after the toaster is finished toasting?
No. If it’s plugged in, it’s live. Do not use a metal tool. Also this is a bad idea in general.
Oki, will stop using my knife from now on.
Do you have chopsticks, or can you grab some? Chopsticks would be better for a toaster.
When it’s off, the coils are not live or else they would heat up.
Still never stick a metal utensil in a toaster.
Respectfully, that’s not the case. The heating elements always have current supplied to them, but the circuit is open until you complete it by pressing the moving segment down. When you use a metal tool and accidentally touch the side, you complete the circuit.
This is also how people can kill themselves by putting a toaster into a bathtub while they are in it.
Set it for maximum but watch it cook and pop it out early when it looks/smells good.
Gotcha, Will keep this in mind then when I make my decision
