The three most popular way to cook hot dogs is in either a steamer, rotisserie or on a roller grill. Hot dog steamers are the most popular way to cook hot dogs because they are economical and very easy to to use. A hot dog steamer will also be the easiest to clean.
Steamers also offer all-in-one design which saves space by combing the buns and hot dogs into one common area. Cooking time is approximately 20-30 minutes. A hot dog steamer will keep product the freshest - longest.
Roller Grills provide a flexible work environment with the capability to serve from both sides. Using a slanted hot dog roller grill will increase visibility and increase impulse sales. All-in-one combination grills are available - this saves space and money by building-in and combining the bun drawer below the grill as one single unit. Roller grills are also great for self-serve locations when furnished with the appropriate sneeze guard.
