I don’t want to go grill it outside because it is cloudy today.

And boiling it makes it kinda flobby.

Has anyone grilled a hotdog in a bread toaster before? any hints?

Edit 1:

Pan fried following this advice!

I had a delicious meal!!!

Thank you @tokookah@discuss.tchncs.de!

      It’s usually the influence of the Darkness that prompts people to put hotdogs in a toaster. Don’t listen to what it tells you about the bathtub either.

        Ah, So set it to the minimum time and use a fork / knife to rotate it?

        (this is not sarcasm / joke, I am genuinely asking)

            I’ve heard about getting electric shocks, but surely the coils inside are depowered after the toaster is finished toasting?

                When it’s off, the coils are not live or else they would heat up.

                Still never stick a metal utensil in a toaster.

                  Respectfully, that’s not the case. The heating elements always have current supplied to them, but the circuit is open until you complete it by pressing the moving segment down. When you use a metal tool and accidentally touch the side, you complete the circuit.

                  This is also how people can kill themselves by putting a toaster into a bathtub while they are in it.

                    Most toasters the switch does not engage until the bread carrier is pushed all the way down.
