How do you like your hotdogs? Personally, I prefer to grill up my hotdogs on the George Foreman grilling machine. There's nothing like a grilled hotdog served up with chili and slaw and some potato chips to make a summer's day perfect! Oh, and did I forget the Pepsi? My three year old loves boiled hotdogs. And, my spouse prefers them boiled too. But, our cat likes to eat his hotdogs raw. We're a diverse family when it comes to snack food cooking styles. So how do you prefer your hotdogs cooked? Outdoor grill? Baked in an oven? Boiled?

I like mine grilled too. It makes them nice and juicy on the inside but give it that nice crisp grilled taste on the outside. Yummy!

We boil ours. It hasn't really occurred to us to grill them.

Baked, Broiled, Grilled, Fried, very very yummy - accentuates the flavor. Especially like them with a little charring on them. I like to Kur runch through the skin, and chew through the meat - with juices. Boiled - to me just boils out the flavor, and is mushy you know?

I do not like my hot dogs boiled, especially the hot dog water that's left behind. When I was a kid, I ate them raw. Then someone told me I could get worms from eating raw hotdogs. My favorite way to eat them is grilled, the crispier the better, topped with spicy brown mustard. Sometimes salsa. But never ketchup.

My family eats our hotdogs grilled outside- If by chance we have them in winter-- we boil them and then fry them up for the not slimy taste- only serve them with chili in the winter. Nothing beats a grilled hotdog- in the summer-- I don't like them boiled- We only eat Zweigles also- they are pop-open dogs!

I quite like either way, grilled and or boiled. I often go for the grilled kind though because I like the skin a little crispy LOL

I prefer my hotdogs cooked on the grill. Those are the best. I don't have a grill here at home so I settle for baked which is almost as good. I will not eat boiled hotdogs, especially ones that aren't beef. They are just disgusting. Of course we can't forget the Pepsi and chips. My favorite way to eat hotdogs though is in my macaroni and cheese. mahmah.

I could eat hot dogs cooked anyway. My husband also. My daughters, however, will only eat boiled hot dogs. I like hot dogs fried, also. I sometimes fry them up as "people" dogs. Just put a slit on one end for the legs, and 2 little slits, one on each side, for the arms. My mom used to cook them this way. We are very particular about the brand of hot dogs we eat. Only BallPark.

We all have different tastes. Why not make some different foods by various cooking ways? It'll please everybody, won't it?:)

I love grilled hot dogs. My kids won't eat them grilled because they say they are burnt. My husband won't eat them at all. I have never had them on the foreman but it is something I will definatly have to try now. Thank for the idea!! P.S. my dog and cat both like them raw or boiled or grilled they don't really care.

Baked hotdogs? Never had them that way, nor have I heard of them done that way. Anyway, I definitely prefer grilled/fried hotdogs. The flavor really comes out in them when they're done that way. Broiled hotdogs turn out all gross, wrinkled and tasting rather strange. But I guess if that is what you're used too, then you'll eat them no matter what.

We don't eat hotdogs very often. My son likes them in macaroni and cheese, so that's usually the only way I fix them. When I was pregnant with my son, I grilled them on the George Foreman grill sometimes, too, because they were one of my cravings for a while. We've only cooked them 3 or 4 times without putting them in hotdogs since my son was born 16 months ago. Every time we've cooked them, it's been on the charcoal barbeque grill. They just taste so much better that way. My mom used to boil them, but I don't really like them much at all that way.

I used to eat hot dogs all the time. I rarely eat them anymore but whe I do, I usually cook them in the microwave. I must admit I do not do this because of how they come out tasting, but rather because it is quick and easy:) Boiled would be the second choice for me. cheers,
