My family always grilled growing up, my Dad is a big time griller, but lately I’m trying out boiling.
Today made some beer boiled hot dogs and they turned out good.
Boiled the beer with onions, garlic, and some spice, then simmered the dogs for about 5min

too much heat.
the water should be no hotter than 140F.
this is to allow the dog to absorb all the spices in the dirty water.
boiling destroys the spices' integrity and ruins flavors.
it's about a hot bath, not an execution for crime.

blongers are similar, though not heated to boiling point just 60c to 70c, 140f to 160f, so the offal doesn't get too dry or tough

>Now you go precisely convert from gallons into ounces without using a calculator.
Cars and gas stations are all designed to work on gallons/liters. There is no need to convert anything.
Face is dude, unless you're a baker or a scientist, you don't need to convert. Your everyday life isn't so important that it requires unit conversions.

That reinforces my point about bakers and scientists.
>>21961303
Yeah because you're a pleb who doesn't have responsibilities important enough to warrant unit conversions. That stuff is all done by more important men who build the infrastructure that makes up your world.
Yeah you could if you wanted to, but you don't need to.

Fuck you faggot. I'm an engineer. I designed your car.
Decaliters is a random unit nobody uses, just like hectometres or decigrams. The point is that the system is modular and conversion is easy, and we don't need to memorise all the different arbitrary bullshit conversions that the outdated imperial system comes saddled with.

highly innaccurate.

extremely accurate.
now you know.

>>21961366
It occurs to me that the only reason you use imperial is that you were born into it. It's not better, it's not easier, your life would be exactly the same if you used metric.
Your brain isn't built for numbers that aren't prefixed with a "$". So it doesn't matter.
You're just a substandard human.

When I was a kid my mom used to slice hotdogs in half and fry them in maple syrup. They were pretty good, haven't had one in 30 years but I still remember them fondly. I'm afraid to try it now I just know it wouldn't be the same.

Wrong.
Boiling is the first step to a great hotdog. The problem is people stop at step one and don't realize you have to have a secondary method of finishing them off. Boiling is just the pregame fluffing.

OP....I remember one time this got brought up at work, i was like...yeah dude i boil my dogs to bring them up to temp "cook" them.
I couldnt believe it when literally everyone else started laughing and couldnt believe it. I was blown away....how fuckin else are you suppose to do it? i grew up doing it, doesnt seem weird.
Pop them in the microwave? sure why not.
I remember being freaked out by this then making a joke that i put them in my coffee pot so when it brews it cooks the dog for breakfast

Hot dog day at school was the best. Wieners cooked by the hundreds boiling in a big pot. Once done, they removed from the water and volunteer Moms would carefully place each one lovingly in a soft hot dog bun.
The finished dogs would then by wrapped in foil by more volunteer Moms. They were then divvied up by order by class and wheeled to each class as soon as possible.
When kids in the classroom heard that knock, and the cart of hot dogs came in the excitement was palpable! It was electric.
The tin of aluminum dogs was given to the Teacher along with the quantity each student ordered.
Packets of ketchup and mustard were given as the students came to the front to claim their prize alphabetically.
Chips and soft drinks, or McDonalds orange drink also came with the dogs as ordered by the kids.

I wouldn't. You don't want the fat or salt of the dogs getting in the sous vide stick. And if your putting them in a bag it defeats the point of boiling them which is to extract and infuse with seasoned water. Just play around with your range and find the right setting.

And heeeere we go. Put the cold dogz in your saucepan. We're going to simmer these boiling-frog style, from cold. That way you know they are up to internal temperature once the water starts to simmer, no guesswork here.

I just boil them in a pan with water and half a beer and let the water boil off and brown them in the same pan. I'll usually add some extra splashes of water at the end into the dry pan to deglaze and get my glizzies nice and sticky.
>>
>>21961232
It's an acceptable method. There was a time I had to have them burnt. Boiled or steamed resembled a penis too disconcertingly. But plain untoasted bun with boiled or steamed dog really lets you taste the dog. It's acceptable once in a while.
But nowadays I go for the Johnsonville Jalapeno-Cheddar brats sliced halfway thru about 20 times on the bias then rolled 180 degrees and sliced on the bias on the other side ( which is 45 degrees to the original slice even though the angle of the knife stayed the same ) before frying. They open up like springs, and I can put a drizzle of Dijon mustard down them which goes into the cracks. Don't even need a bun. I sometimes eat one in a bun and one separately.

This thread is total garbage but very predictable for /ck/.
You've got retards talking about other kinds of sausage, as if hot dogs/frankfurters aren't their own thing.
You've got retards talking about "seasoned water" as if a hot dog doesn't have seasoning already or as if it means anything.
A guy saying simmering isn't the same fucking thing as boiling.
People insisting on wasting good beer to instead boil a hot dog in it... because they think it gives it a new flavor???
And tasteless faggots claiming that boiling is the best, actually.
Jfc
This is the worst motherfucking board on the site
Nobody here can cook
Nobody here knows anything about food
Nobody here is even remotely high-iq
Just come on here and loudly and confidently spout absolutely insipid drivel, like the big fucking faggots you are.

to be fair an hot dog doesn't really absorb any flavours, all it does is leech fats and salt into the water, but the other way around. you might as well marinate your dogs in beer, shake them dry, and grill or griddle them and then pretend you can imagine the beer flavour making a difference.

It doesn't need to absorb into the meat, it flavors the skin. Especially if you shallow simmer them.
The additional smell adds to it too.
Maybe you just use shitty dawgs and have a bad nose?

The best hotdogs are pork and boiled. Nothing wrong with ketchup on a hotdog either. Anyone who disagrees with me should kill themselves.

It's a great way to cook a bunch in bulk. A lot of oil from the dogs are lost to the hot dog water. For cheaper hot dogs, this is a benefit cause it's foul as hell. For something pricier like Nathan's the oil is much less offensive, but you can still boil it if you want less oil for some reason, like either health (why are you eating a hot dog?) or if you're making corn dogs, the oil prevents batter from sticking.
Along with the aroma from the grilling source to mask offensive smells, grilling also probably lets some of the juices/oil drip out of the dog, so it's hard to complain about grilling, other than that boiling is way easier, but in the end it's just a preference of one thing over the other.
>>
I'll grill them if I'm already doing burgers, but if I really just want some hot dogs I'll toss them around in a steel pan on low with some bacon grease until they've got some crispy brown spots. I don't know what retarded hang up keeps everybody else from doing that, but nobody else I know does for some reason. You can even do batches that way to have a bunch in about the time it'd take to boil them. Explain why this doesn't appeal to you.
