Sticking to the same old cooking methods

The typical method used to prepare hot dogs is grilling, pan searing, or even popping them in the microwave. There are different methods of preparing hot dogs, though. Hot dogs can be easily and efficiently baked in the oven to ensure equal cooking. First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Put hot dogs in a foil-lined, oven-safe pan or tray, like a casserole dish or roasting pan. Bake the hot dogs for 15 minutes after the oven reaches the right temperature. Hot dogs that have been roasted properly should have a tiny curl and be golden.

Cooking hot dogs in a pan of simmering water is another alternate method. Start by adding 1/4 inch of room temperature water to a pan. Turn on the heat and put the pan on the stove. Add the hot dogs once the water has started to simmer. The hot dogs should be cooked in the dry pan until evenly browned because the water will ultimately evaporate. Hot dogs that are perfectly browned and juicy will be the end product.
