I don’t think this stops operating if you have the cover off. And that is wild.

That’s pretty damn cool. I would also want to test other things on it!

So…basically, an electric chair for hotdogs?

I heard these are great with deep fried cornballs.

This this reminds me of the Cornballer from Arrested Development.

Big time Cornballer vibes right there.

For those wondering, but too afraid to ask. Yes this device works both seamlessly between the kitchen and bedroom.

Had one long time ago. If you didn’t unplug it it was still live. I didn’t buy it but I sure made sure it wasn’t functional when I threw it away.

lol it won’t let me post a photo, but directly under this post was an ad that said “Experience the thrill of the grill with us.”

They apparently smell really bad cooking like this.

I’ve used one (my dad collected weird cooking gadgets). They’re fun, in a lawn darts kind of way

Guarantee someone who has worked in an E.R. has a disturbing story involving one of these. Or a hilarious story. Or both.

I had one. As it cooked it would spark a little on the fat coming off the dogs. Bit of an ozone smell too.

don’t try using this home appliance at home.

I legit had one of these as a (very weird) kid. Thought it was the coolest thing ever. There was no safety on it.

In the 80s, the local fire department used to come and give us a safety talk every year. Part of it was electrocuting hotdogs and saying, “That’s what burning people smell like” to scare us into not burning up in housefires. I bet they used one of those with the lid removed!

I actually had one as a kid so I could eat when I got home from school without having to boil water on a stove almost as tall as me. It was already pretty old, but it worked fine. If I remember right it wouldn’t overcook the hotdogs because they would be less conductive as the water in them evaporated.

This feels like one of the reasons we have warning labels. I wonder how many lives the 70s took with their wild appliances.
