Grill hotdogs on a grill. If you don't have a grill, boiling them works fine. Honestly, any way to make them hot without frying them works fine. Put them in the bun. Apply toppings. Sauerkraut alone works well, but so does a mixture of ketchup and mustard. Frenches isn't great, just use your best mustard. Onions work on chili dogs, but you don't have any chili, so don't bother with the onion.

throw all that shit away and get a can of this

>>12769401
Thanks, very to the point Senpai.
I think i should poach them for 4-5 minutes then give them a quick roll around on a hot griddle?

>>12769405
I could go get (pic related) if need be?
Local shops often have canned chilli in the UK for single old men that are waiting to kill themselves.

>>12769405
This nigga not eating beans

OP save yourself the displeasure and throw some locally sourced Sausages on a bun instead

>>12769391
>Ketchup

>>12769405

>>12769424

Like any sausage, hotdogs need some browning in a pan or on a grill.

>>12769429
i enjoy a boiled dog sometimes as well though. never estimate the dirty water dogs

>>12769427
>pickle relish

One thing iv always wanted to try that you dont get in the UK (pic related) Giardiniera.
All i have is the Saurekraut.
Do i need to toast the buns at all?

>>12769429

Boiled vs grilled dogs are almost like two different foods. Sometimes you're in the mood for one, sometimes the other.

It really depends on what kind of Americana you're trying to conjure up. Grilled dogs remind people of campfires and families grilling out in the backyard on hot summer days. Boiled remind people of street vendors, amusement parks, sports stadiums, glitz and glamour and grime..

Oh fuck I want a hot dog now.

>>12769461
>Do i need to toast the buns at all?

Optional. It makes them a little tastier but you run the risk of burning them, bread burns fast on a hot grill

>>12769461
we have gardenia as well. pickle relish is totally different.
maybe find sweet relish in the american section of stores if thats a thing.
toasty buns are always nice
sauerkraut is is hit or miss though, its not essential for a hot dog, and most americans dont like it. i dont mind it, but i buy the refrigerated kind and stay away from anything bottled or canned

>>12769473
>but you run the risk of burning them
holy shit this was a stupid statement and a waste of everyones time.

Is coleslaw a thing you can get where you live? Slap some of that on a grilled dog

>>12769401
>putting boiling above frying
It's like you hate flavor.

>>12769391
Grill or fry your dogs, toast your bun, and slather with polish mustard, finely minced onion, and some sauerkraut. If you want a chili dog, use your french's and still use onion.

Ketchup on dogs is pretty much for children and those who eat like them.

>>12769487
>Is coleslaw a thing you can get where you live?

Yes we have that in England.
I am a fan but i think on the side rather than in the dog.
Im gonna try grill a couple first as >>12769496
etc said.
Im really tempted to slow fry / sweat off my onions, is this a mistake?

>>12769401
Frying hot dogs is pretty good though

Grilling>toasting>frying>baking>boiling>microwave

>>12769566
Another way that Hawaiians/some Asians use is to slice in half lengthwise, put middle cut part facing down on a very hot pan, then put a grill press or other weight on top. Gives you a nice sear and texture that you can’t really get on any round part.

>>12769579
Anon iv taken them out of the packaging and they have a very useful angle on them.

There's no magical American recipe for hot dogs, ding dong. Just heat it up anyway possible. Anyway, I like raw onion on mine. I've seen some people that like them fried, but completely caramelized is too sweet for a hot dog. But, try whatever you like. And try some of that Stagg chili you posted and maybe get wild and add some shitty american cheese product on top to make a chili cheese dog.

>>12769598
Well, OP, I am entertained. If I were you I would pan sear the absolute fuck out of two hotdogs, to the point you think you’ve ruined them (you won’t). One with sauteed onions, French’s mustard, and black pepperon one side of the (toasted) bun and a stripe of ketchup on the other. The other dog with sauerkraut on one side and a fuckton of polish beer mustard all over the toasted bun. Post pics of whatever you do.

>>12769546
Sauteed/fried/grilled onions are a perfectly acceptable hot dog topping. Hot dog+kraut+cooked onions+spicy or polish mustard on a toasted bun is probably what I would make with your haul.

>>12769650
This said a properly grilled hot dog needs nothing more than a toasted bun and some spicy brown/deli mustard

So iv just eaten 2.

I started by poaching the dogs whilst i fried the onions gently.

After 4 minutes i griddled the dogs for a bit as the onions got a bit crisp.

The dogs started bilstering up a bit.

Griddled the buns a bit too.

Ok so i had

Polish beer mustard on both.
Spicy mustard on both.
A little ghost pepper sauce and fried onions on one.
Raw diced onions and saurekraut on the other.

Im surprised, i think diced onions is better.
The mustard was good but i might have over done it.
Saurekraut was a bonus.
I think raw onions, saurekraut and the polish mustard is best.

>>12769730
Raw onions are very nice on dogs, the crunch and the bite complement it perfectly

>>12769718
those poor dogs really shriveled up after plumping
here's my lunch anon, "typical" american dog, mustard and relish, i added onions and a few drops of franks.

>>12769943
Doesn’t toast bun

>>12769992
bun is toasted faggot. one of them even cracked

>>12769579
sounds based.

>>12769391
>>12769427

This man is your friend, OP. Mustard, onion and sauerkraut. Relish is better imo but the sauerkraut will give you some zing

>>12769730
>mfw anon agrees your choice >>12769496
is the best.

>>12769718
>>12769943
I guess you really can't replicate squishy american bread. The texture adds a certain something.

>>12769391
The next step in your journey to the dark-side.

Fuck all that mustard, ketchup only

>>12769391
Omg I've bought a polish beer mustard drinking glass for a $1, where did you buy this stuff?

>>12770357

It was in the Polish store just up the road where i live in Sussex.

>>12769391
What font is that? It's pretty nice.

>>12770111

Tbh it is the way to do it.
I think id venture elsewhere at times but that was the best.
What kind of dog would that be?

polish mustard
minced onion
saurekraut
poached and grilled ???

>>12770554
Futura

Like Barbara Kruger, 'They Live' and Banksy.

>>12770623
Supreme dickheads

Steam em, steam the buns too.

>>12770825
OP here, how would you do that?
