Notes

  • Always use all beef hot dogs, you'll find that they taste better and are often nearly the same price as other kinds of hot dogs.
  • We enjoy Nathans or Ballpark Weenies the best.
  • Look at your pack of hot dogs and count how many there are in the package. You'll find that these days, it isn't a given that there will be 8 in the package and you want to make sure that you have enough buns.
  • Think about toppings for your hot dogs. You'll want to consider ketchup, mayo, mustard, slaw, chili, onions, cheese or other toppings that might be unique to your area.
  • Consider your buns as well. If you look in the bread section, you can sometimes find buns with a slit on the top instead of the side and then makes holding the weenie and the toppings much easier!
  • The broth in the pressure cooker helps the pressure cooker to come to the correct pressure and it is what cooks the dogs. As it does so, the steam enters the hot dogs and adds flavor. That's why we use broth or beer and why we add seasonings.
  • You can add a bit of cayenne if you like spicy hot dogs.
PRO TIP: If you like a sweeter hot dog, you can add a chopped up apple, 1 cup of apple juice, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and 1/2 tsp onion powder. Makes for a lovely flavor.
