How to Steam a Hot Dog?

Question

Just got a Hot Dog steamer and it has no directions.I know how to steam hot dogs on the stove but i was wondering how long it takes for them to cook in a steaming machine.

Answer 1

Try researching the brand on line to find information about the product.  My guess is that there is place to fill water and a line indicating how much water, a switch to turn it on to indicate if the water is hot - then place hot dogs in steamer and probably press a button.  I am going to assume this will take half the time of the stove top method.  Never seen one, am curious though, but will assume it will work perfectly.    

Answer 2

Probably no more than the stove top.  If it is pressurized take about 1/2 the time off of the stove top method
