Hot Diggity Dog! Preparing The Ideal Frank

April 15, 2013 robot Uncategorized

Let’s be frank: Americans enjoy hot dogs. In the U.S., people on typical eat 70 franks every year. Even though consumers do “relish” their dogs at specific events-baseball games, barbecues, picnics, etc.-hot dogs are a favorite dinnertime meal for the family members or a rapid handy snack when on the go. Quite basically, hot dogs are a staple of the American diet regime.

When it comes to preparing a great-tasting hot dog, how you cook and dress it is not as critical as the frank you choose. Apart from the standard all-beef assortment, there are hot dogs for every single taste bud, which includes turkey for the wellness conscious or ones with robust flavors that are ideal for the grill, such as the new GrillMaster franks.

Speaking of the grill, although microwaved and boiled hot dogs are popular, 60 % of Americans favor their hot dogs grilled, according to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. Sara Lee Executive Chef Brian Averna is a self-proclaimed “foodie” and has perfected the art of grilling hot dogs. His ideas include:

• DO prepare the grill by coating the rack with vegetable oil or cooking spray. This will avert meals from sticking and will ease cleanup.

• DO use tongs to gently turn hot dogs to avoid accidental cuts or holes that would cause organic juices and flavors to seep out.

• DO use pure and clean lump charcoal to avert foreign substances or impurities from altering the flavor of your franks. Also, permit at least 30 minutes for the coals to attain the appropriate glowing white-ash stage just before you begin grilling.

• DO use mesquite chips and hold the grill covered even though cooking if you like the “smoky” flavor.

Once your hot dog is prepared, pile on the toppings. Remember, dress the dog, not the bun. Condiments must be applied in the following order: wet condiments (mustard, chili), followed by chunky condiments (relish, onions, sauerkraut), then shredded cheese and, finally, spices such as celery salt or pepper. Diverse regions of the country have distinct variations of their favorite hot dog topping recipe, but there is no correct or incorrect way to best a hot dog.
