Spraying The Grill

If you place hotdogs on hot grill, the hotdogs can stick to the grill which will result in burning them and ruining their texture. So it is necessary to spray a thin film of grill spray on the grates.

Cooking The Hotdogs

You have to preheat the grill to cook at the right temperature to cook the hotdogs properly. In a gas grill, preheat the grill for at least 10 minutes with full flame.

Turn the temperature down once the grill is properly heated. We use medium flame for regular hot dogs and medium-low for beef hot dogs. This is because regular hotdogs have a higher fat content that beef hotdogs.

Cooking on high flame is a newbie mistake and it causes the hotdogs to be crispy on the outside but cold and raw on the inside.

Cooking on low flame can also be problematic because firstly the low flame would take a lot of time to cook the hotdogs and you also won’t be able to get the crisp outer layer as it comes from the high flame.

Hotdogs do respond to heat. They start to expand when they are cooked. They also starts to split at the ends when they are completely cooked.

Some people like their hotdogs to be charred or slightly burnt while others prefer it without much burnt marks.

If you like your hotdogs charred, increase the gas flame at the last part of cooking to get the crispy texture but make sure to get them equally charred from each side before taking them off of the grill.

Garnishing Your Hotdogs

Just before taking the hotdogs off the grill, you can pour some melted butter on it for a richer taste experience.

Once you are done with the hotdogs, place the rolls on the grill and toast them up to your personal preference. You can brush them with some butter to entice their taste. Leave the buns on there for a minute, making them all crispy and tasty.

Conclusion

Grilling hotdogs is quite handy if you follow the right recipe.

It is important that the temperature of the grill is set perfectly. More than required temperature will end up burning the hotdogs and ruining your experience.

Gas grills now have an upper rack and you can use that to place your cooked hotdogs there so that they remain warm. One can easily grill hot dogs.

Do remember to preheat the grill and make sure that the hotdogs are at room temperature.

Hotdogs must be grilled on the spot. Although big size grills are now available and can be used to cook a dozen hotdogs at once yet it requires some experience as it is not as easy task to handle so much hotdogs at once.

No matter how charred or tender you make it, hotdogs will always provide you with a mouth-watering experience.
