Things You'll Need

  • Tongs

  • Hot dog buns and condiments

Use your oven roaster to heat hot dogs on the countertop without heating the entire kitchen. Whether it's for a family meal or a summer party, you can steam the hot dogs to get that traditional hot dog cart taste and juiciness. Because hot dogs are sold fully cooked, steaming them reheats the meat. While the hot dogs cook, get the buns and condiments ready.
