For little kids - slice the hotdog lengthwise once or twice all the way through, (or simply butterflyed prior to cooking.)
So your solution is the splitadicktemy method? Slicing a hot dog will release all the steamy juicy goodness, leaving the diner with nothing more than a flayed, dried, useless piece of meat. Many a divorce has been based on this alone.
maybe people shouldn't marry small children then. I said the solution is for the little choke-prone types, not experienced hot dog fans. :)
If we were talking sausage, your point would be well taken, but since we’re talking about hot dogs, not so much.
There is no steamy, juicy goodness in a hot dog.
So slice it after cooking. For a kid, a Hot Dog is a Ketchup Delivery System anyway.
After it’s cooked ;)
