Matt Carey/Getty Images “This technique is for our dads and grill masters out there,” says Shannon Norris in the Taste of Home Test Kitchen. But she says that learning how to cook hot dogs on the grill is a method anyone can master. To grill hot dogs, place them on the grill over medium heat. Turn them occasionally for 5 to 7 minutes. You’ll get th...
LauriPatterson/Getty Images Nothing says summer like a hot dog cooked over a fire. To make hot dogs this way, fit the sausage onto a skewer and cook it over the flame for about 5 minutes. For best results, don’t stick the hot dog directly into the fire, rather hover it above. The end result will be slightly charred. And if the hot dogs split, don’t...
AJ Paulsen/Getty Images Yep, you can add hot dogs to the list of foods you can air fry! Learning how to cook hot dogs in the air fryer is so simple: Toss them into the basket and air fry for 5 minutes at 400ºF. The heat may cause the franks to split. If you want to control where the sausages break, make a few shallow cuts diagonally across one side...

For even browning, turn them once or twice during baking. Shannon explains that the sausages will shrivel slightly with this method, but this gives the hot dogs a nice, firm texture. “Plus, making hot do...
kosmos111/Getty Images “This technique is weeknight simple,” says Shannon. To boil hot dogs, bring a pan of water up to a boil. Then add the hot dogs and simmer for 4 to 6 minutes. If you want to add more flavor, you can boil the hot dogs in beer, much the way you would with bratwurst. For this technique, no need to pop for a pricey six-pack. A goo...
powerofforever/Getty Images To make hot dogs in a slow cooker, add the sausages to the crock and add a cup of water. Cover and cook on low for two hours. After they’re finished cooking, switch the slow cooker to the warm setting so the franks don’t split. This method works great for when you want a hands-off cooking method or are cooking for a lot ...
Just like choosing the best hot dog brand, choosing how to cook hot dogs is personal. However, our Test Kitchen does have a few recommendations after sampling sausages made with each method above.
