i love these things. i've been a vegetarian for almost 6 years now and these big franks were one of the things that made the transition from meat-eater to vegetarian a breeze. they are really good. you do have to keep in mind though, that they are not meat and they will never taste like meat; so if you try one expecting a pork hot dog, then you'll be disappointed. if you enjoy them for their own taste, you'll be happy. their other "hot dog" products they have are just as good, the only difference is the size.

Big Franks are the best vegetarian frank that I have ever tried. They taste far better than real meat weiners. They have a somewhat soft texture and could be easily broken down and used in a casserole or some other recipe. They come in a broth that could also be used to add flavor to recipes. I dare anyone to who hates meat analogues to not be pleased with this product. I can't say enough about Big Franks!

These franks have such a great flavor. Unfortunately for me, I could eat one after the other AFTER the other, and I'm NOT kidding!

They are a bit softer than some of the other vegetarian hot dogs, but, that's easily solved...just don't stick a fork in one and walk around with it. Simple, right? They work perfectly fine in hot dog buns and can be chopped up and used in recipes.

I LOVE these dogs BUT you have to know how to cook them ..so here's the method I use .. First you must rinse them since they have a sort of brine that is not that good kind .. then soak them in a bit of liquid smoke( if you have it)and water if you have it .. also optional for those who like it spicy add a dash of chili powder .
Now since they virtually have no fat add a little/some oil to your pan and coat them before you start to cook or they will stick to pan .. and fry to lightly browned on a few edges .. you can also bar b que them ..

add the usual and they are great!!!! .. not soggy .. but yes the reviewer who said soggy.. you will get that if you just eat out of can without rinsing and then micro .. you need to rinse and cook .. but it only takes a few mins..

experiment and you will LOVE them too!

I have introduced these to many people that were not vegetarians and have yet to find anyone that does not like them! I wish Amazon would start carrying them again.

I LOVE these!!! I grew up on them but everyone I have try them end up loving them too- including my boyfriend who lives by meat. It is often a turn off when people see they come packed in cans. Ignore that part because they are fantastic and very high in protein. I did catch my boyfriend trying to boil them- not recommended! You can microwave them (about 1 min), fry them on non-stick, put on BBQ, or my favorite way- over a camp fire! Yummy :)

These are okay. My son "tolerated" them, so I will give them 2 stars. Otherwise, they are mushy dogs -- and not tasty. I love the Worthington Superlinks and I thought these would be comparable.
