cookinga wisp of smoke!
Here's the tricky part: damn carefully plug in the other end of the cord. A much better strategy is to first plug the other end of the cord into a power strip and then flip the switch on. Under no circumstances should you touch either one of the forks, the hot dog, or other exposed surfaces unless you can actually see that the other end of the cord is *not plugged in.* The hot dog cooks rapidly, in maybe one or two minutes. Watch for swelling, a change in surface shape and luster, and finally smoke and/or cracking to indicate doneness. Overdo it, and there may be a nasty smell to go along with it.

Read more about cooking hot dogs with electricity here. CommentsScott Morris says:These are sold as over the counter appliances
that don't require any special plugs, so less
than 10 - 12 amps at a guess.
2fadedout says:I've found it difficult to get an 'edible'
hot dog like this. Its either not warm
enough or heated ridiculously uneven. Maybe
someone with a fancy controller and
electrodes can get it down. They should use
this in those hot dog warmer machines at gas
stations... minus the whole fork thing.
