Whenever I cook dogs they always get all bubbly and turn this gross tan colour , how do I get them to stay the brown color and just have grill marks. I'm cooking them on med – low too and they still look lepperous

    What brand/kind of hot dogs are they?

    Hot dogs don’t need to be cooked through since they’re technically already cooked so I would turn your grill up and get it way hotter. You’ll get a better char

    Stop buying that 99cent store mystery meat dogs

  3. “skinless” low meat content hot dogs do this, the water inside the hot dog evaporates and creates a pocket of air between the “meat” (prob ~35% meat content?) and the skin, letting them rest for a few minutes on a plate off heat gets them back to normal.

    If you want to completely avoid it, buy hot dogs of higher quality, but these kinds of dawgs hit a certain kind of spot from childhood memories.

    😂 Are those Turkey dogs or regular? I only do beef (Hebrew National) hot dogs on the grill – mine have never looked like that. Also, gas or charcoal grill? I only use wood & charcoal. I only ask because I feel meats cooked on Gas grills do look different, even the char/grill marks look different from meats cooked over wood/charcoal.

    Who are you trying to impress with your hot dogs? Are you cooking them to put on a magazine cover? Just saying because I consider myself a pretty damn good griller and this is how my hot dogs look, no matter what kind of wiener I’m cooking. If you’re not cooking for chef Ramsay, then these dogs look delicious, imo.

    Cook them in a beer or water bath and right before serving them grill them. Or grill them to get a seer and then put them in a beer bath to finish choosing them

    Looks like you are blistering them. Move to indirect heat or try a smaller fire.

    You need to use some protection….maybe some aluminum foil

    Slitting the might help. Or if theyre larger ones, split them down the middle, slap the flat side on the grill to get those marks.

  10. Get the red Filipino hotdogs. Great on the grill

    Its cheap ass meat…but id try to lather those glizzies up in some olive oil or butter. Just rub em down and stroke em till they have a nice coat filling the shaft. That might get them looking nice and glazed with an even char

    Poke some holes or score them to prevent the steam from bubbling up inside. Maybe turn down the heat and get a more even char.

    They look like The People Eater’s feet from Fury Road
