how do you cook hot dogs.?
« on: July 20, 2010, 07:59:00 AM »
How strange how our past memories can bust out of the box our brain has placed in in for years.

My Mom fried pork chops that came out black on both sides.

One day on a sleep over with a friend that lived on a farm I watched her Mother cook the chops, and for the life of me hamburgers in a fry pan with a couple inches of water.

My friends Mom added garlic and spices to the water and cooked them for about a few minutes on each side.

She then removed them to the grill to finish cooking.    WOW, I had never seen that done before or after but the meat was GOOD.

So as memory's came flooding back from no reason, I decided to cook hot dogs that way.

How do you cook hot dogs,   I take spices and bring the water to a boil, turn off the heat then add the dogs.  Cover and wait about 15 minutes then remove them.   Cool in the refrigerator about an hour then grill just for the grill marks.

Lately I saw a cooking show that had close to my method but left out the refrigeration step.

 What is your recipe for cooking the dogs?

That is a good idea.  Similar to how I cook brats.  With Brats, I boil them in beer and onion, till cooked, and then put them on the grill to sear.

Wood chunk charcoal or gas grill with wood chips on low heat. Put the dogs on indirect heat and slowly heat them up, about 10-15 minutes.

What beer you use for brats? We usually use Miller GD, but we had some old Grolsch last time and they were amazing with it.

I usually use "crap beer"  Anything people drop off that is left over, like the lights....Coors, Bud, Miller, Keystone, just to get rid of them.  But, I have used Shiner, Spaten, and Becks before.  I don't think I could do a Sierra Nevada that way though.  I would have to go buy a 40.

On a stick over an open fire. 

My wife and went fishing one time and took a small portable grill, hotdogs and some buns. It turned out to be kind of cool that night, so we had a fire going on the lakeshore, so I grabbed a couple of sticks and cooked hotdogs that way. She had never had them any way but cooked on a stove or on a grill. I still tell her she had a deprived childhood.

Your basic dogs?

Score them slightly diagonally on all sides.  Grill on high heat so a nice char forms, but scores will cause dogs to "split" and heat the inside sufficiently as well.

Not by me. I do 'em that way, too.

The Germans (arguably THE wurst experts in the world) are almost obsessive about cooking/grilling brats so quickly that they split. It's bad ju-ju. They just don't like it.

So to reduce that likelihood, it's quite okay to gently simmer the brats preferably in beer (and I toss in onion, too) till the point they're almost done, then finish them on the grill with higher heat.
