4.0 out of 5 stars Fire up this toaster for great indoor hot dogs..., September 24, 2005

By	SouthGenie (Charlotte NC, USA) - See all my reviews

If you're like me, you like your hot dogs best when they're grilled, and this makes the best indoor-cooked hot dogs I've ever tasted and fairly fast, too. It's basically a large size toaster, with heating elements (like a toaster's) in the middle, and a metal basket that holds 2 hot dogs inbetween the heating elements. The metal plates that the heating elements are attached to in the center don't completely extend the width of the toaster so that heat can leak around them to toast the buns. The outer sides of the bun don't toast, which is how I prefer it.

While overall I love this product, there is room for improvement. It's true they cook a little unevenly, so for more even cooking, I flip the hot dogs halfway through the cooking. The manufacturer does say not to use bun-length or fat hot dogs, but since I prefer bun-length I went ahead broke that rule, and they came out great. I don't think I'd use it for fat hot dogs though. Secondly, the buns stick out a little so I also flip them partway through the cooking process, and since I don't like them quite as toasted I wait to add them when I'm flipping the hot dogs. The other problem is getting the hot dogs out of the basket, which is too hot to touch once they've finished cooking. They should include a nylon prong or tongs (maybe with a hot dog shaped handle?) to make it easier to extract the cooked hot dogs from that hot basket. Once they've cooled, it's a snap to clean the basket and removable drip tray.

I'd have given this item 5 stars if they made it so that the buns fit, you could definitely use bun-length dogs, and it came with a nylon prong or tongs for extracting cooked hot dogs. But while there is room for improvement and you may have to take a few extra steps to make hot dogs & buns cook evenly, I still recommend this product for great indoor hot dogs, I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yummy Goodness, June 24, 2004

By	Campbell (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews

My husband kept seeing this item in the skymall magazine (that catalog in the seat pocket of every airplane in the USA)everytime we flew somewhere. He kept saying, "I'm going to get myself one of those someday." So for his birthday, I got him the Hot Diggity Dogger as his gift. You would think he won the hot dog lottery. He was very excited and it doesn't disappoint. This thing is great. The hot dogs come out grilled to perfection and the smell while they cook makes you salivate. The buns are perfect too. Toasted to hold all the toppings you want without getting soggy. There is a "done-ness" setting for the hot dogs and I turn it all the way up for mine because I like a little bit of char on my hot dog. Just like girl scouts with a hot dog on a stick. Mmmmmm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Ever!!!, November 21, 2003

By A Customer

I recieved a Hot Diggity Dogger as a birthday present, intended more as a gag gift, but this has rapidly become one of my most prized posessions. Not only is it a great conversation piece, it cooks the absolute best hot dogs I've ever had outside of at baseball games. This is a MUST for anyone who eats hot dogs.
