Pre-cut/slit a Hot Dog???

[smokenoob]

I evidently get the self splitting dogs 😁

Reminds me of a hot dog that's been deep fried at a place called Rutt's Hut in Clifton, New Jersey since 1928. "The Ripper"

[Richard Chrz]

Generally we smoke our hot dogs, so they typically don’t split, nor do I cut one. Interesting that it is such a thing.

[Rob Johnston]

Trust me--she is always right!

[xrodbob]

It was a rhetorical question. I already knew the answer (sigh)

[bbqLuv]

Trust Me, if I think she is not right, that is when the fight begins.

[FireMan]

I’m with smokenoob , as a matter of fact I sometimes take wagers as to where it will split. 🕶

[bbqLuv]

I bet you do!

[DavidNorcross]

I honestly just cook hot dogs…..

I am more thrilled that we have another hot dog thread!

[Panhead John]

I know! We haven’t had one in almost a week now!

[Spinaker]

Such a great point.

[bbqLuv]

Ditto, Ditto. and Ditto on the hot dog thread.

Last time she prepped them it looked like DNA when done. Wish I took some pics…

The slot dog is one of the best inventions out there. Total gimmick, but it is awesome. I love it. Total guilty pleasure.

It is the only thing that would make the Costco dog even better!

Does that thing work good on Brats and / or Sausages too? Or more just for HotDogs?

Anything besides HotDogs it's good for?

[nikolausp]

After reading about the SlotDog more.... It sounds like it's best used on things that don't have Casings..... so that would probably rule out Brats I guess.

[bbqLuv]

Do they come in different sizes, Foot Long, Bun length, little smokie?

[nikolausp]

It's good for up to Footling. 1 size

Public Announcement!!!!!

The Slot Dog is amazing for chili dogs too! It helps to catch the chili and the cheese and the rest of the fixin's!!!!!

[bbqLuv]

Finally, making sense on a hot dog thread.

[smokenoob]

So are there slot regulations like fishing? If a dog is under or over the “slot” do you have to throw it back?

I and my family like spiral cut dogs.

[nikolausp]

I and my family like spiral cut dogs.

Do you have a tool for the spiral dogs? Have you tried the SlotDog?

[Thunder77]

I poke a bamboo skewer lengthwise through the hot dog. Starting at one end, hold the knife at an angle and roll the dog, letting the knife travel down the hot dog. No, I have not tried the slot dog.

Wow. What a time to be alive!

[Attjack]

Sometimes I do it but overall I find you get a drier dog once it's been pierced.

[nikolausp]

Is drier dog a good or bad thing? On paper it sounds bad

[Attjack]

nikolausp bad

If you never had a ripper from RuttsHut in Clifton New Jersey with their relish, you haven't had a hotdog.
