I don’t want to go grill it outside because it is cloudy today.
And boiling it makes it kinda flobby.
Has anyone grilled a hotdog in a bread toaster before? any hints?
Edit 1:
Pan fried following this advice!
I had a delicious meal!!!
Thank you @[email protected]!
The hotdog fits in my frying pan!

When it’s off, the coils are not live or else they would heat up.
Still never stick a metal utensil in a toaster.
Respectfully, that’s not the case. The heating elements always have current supplied to them, but the circuit is open until you complete it by pressing the moving segment down. When you use a metal tool and accidentally touch the side, you complete the circuit.
This is also how people can kill themselves by putting a toaster into a bathtub while they are in it.
Most toasters the switch does not engage until the bread carrier is pushed all the way down.
You don’t need a switch if you are bypassing it with a knife or other conductive object, that’s what I’m trying to tell you. A toaster has literally no protection - if you complete the circuit in any way (the intended way or not), the entire path becomes electrified.
