When eating at home, how do you cook your hot dogs?
@Riesen Boil them in water, keeps them from drying out. If I’m really in a rush I’ll microwave them but they tend to get weirdly bitter.
Me alone- cut almost in half, unfold, skillet, and make a hot dog sandwich.
With others- grill.
Cook?
You mean you don’t just eat them cold straight outta the package?
Microwave them for 45 seconds. Or, put it on a minute and cut it off right before the end.
I have one of those hot dog steamers that looks like a dog and it barks when they’re done cooking.

I didn’t know I needed that in my life.
I mean, if you’re a fan of single use appliances…
I am not. But I do love me some tube steaks.
Put them in a flat heat resistant vessel, like a casserole dish. Pour boiling water over them untill covered. Wait a minute or three. Sausages are warm.

Boiling tends to be my go-to. I can’t fire up the whole grill for just a single serving of hot dogs usually.
Air fryer I’ve found works alright to give sausages the kind of crispy exterior that they get when grilled, but I haven’t tried it with hot dogs.
Tier 1 - grill or cast iron pan until moderately blistered
Tier 2 - microwave from frozen, 45 seconds for 1, or 1 min for 2
Tier 3 - boiled in beer, preferably with some pierogies
Buns: toasted>steamed>room temp
I don’t cook, I make my wife do it.
…which is to say my hands do the cooking.
Air Fryer. Its not quite as good as grilled, but still great and more convenient. Quicker than boiling and better than microwaving.
