Hot Dog Roller Pron (4 Viewers)

[k9dr]

Inspired by @CraigT78 and just in time for the upcoming Suicide Queen Melee, I purchased a hot dog roller. I looked at several different brands and read a lot of reviews and settled on the Olde Midway for $99.99 on Amazon. First grill tonight for the NHL All Star game

Never heard of those before but would love to try them, although they are probably not available locally. You could ship some to me :

No brats?

 

[CraigT78]

Here's mine! Circa 2015 and still rolling stong (after a motor replacement in 2017)

No brats?

Not for the first try - definitely in the plans for the future. I suppose I need to make sure they are not curved so they roll appropriately. I'm a little worried they might be too greasy as well.

Shout out to @Mesnik44 who was the the first person I saw to use one. Many more have been purchased since, very smart buys! I can't say he was the first, I can't keep track of all the hotdog rollers posts.

Genius thread idea @k9dr

I was having trouble finding all the hot dog posts, so I thought this would help.

I also thought HotDogRollerForum.com might be going overboard

I'll add a piece of advice to anyone who wants it. Get a scrub daddy to clean these after an 8 hour session and waiting until the next day to clean up. The brown gunk left over comes right off. Wipe clean with a dish towel. Easy peasy.

Maybe - but the MeatUps would be fun

First hot dogs are ready

 

[DoubleEagle]

Anyone have any experience cooking brats on one of these?

 

[DoubleEagle]

Demand must be up due to PCF as price is showing $109.99 now. Thinking about getting one for our annual Super Bowl tourney.

Now to see if hotdogrollerforum.com is available...

Edit: The good Doc beat me to the punch.

hot dog roller pron??????

You can cook a whole mess of hot dogs in a crock pot. Obviously the rollers win for style points, but does a roller grilled hot dog have advantages over a crockpot cooked dog?

Do Paulson's have any advantage over dice chips?

What about an Instant Pot? People are crazy about those things.

Even the most timid introverts turn into seasoned sales professionals when gushing over their Instant Pots.

Ha! I have an instaPot. And no shit, like 3 months after I bought the thing, my oldest daughter decided she was a vegetarian. Thanks sweetie. So I haven't used it too much. But yeah, if you needed a shitload of hotdogs cooked in under 10 minutes, that might be the easiest way.

Ha! I have an instaPot.

Get that crap to your own thread! Mods!

(My wife is die hard instapot)

 

[upNdown]

(My wife is die hard instapot)

The instapot, like a crockpot, is a lame-ass cooking tool, in that it's use requires zero technique. But my vision for it was cranking out meals from frozen meats on school nights - utilitarian.
I will say that you can make a halfway decent pulled pork with an instapot, if you don't have the time or equipment to do it right.

I might try to restart my old league style games. If so, I will definitely invest in one of these

How many passes does it take to heat up a frank, and how long can they stay warming on there?

I desperately hope to host a game someday that will warrant a hot dog roller.

I put the dogs on 15 minutes before the break so that they are ready at the end of the level. You can crank the heat up and cook them faster, but I've found they will split or burn. Setting the heat to 1-2 I can have dogs warmed for hours.
