Hot Dog Machines

Hot dog machines (also known as hot dog steamers or hot dog warmers) are compact countertop electrical appliances solely used to steam or grill hot dog sausages and frankfurters.

Hot Dog Steamers

Hot dog steamers usually have have a glass cylinder which sits over a water well to gently warm the hot dogs; often separated internally with metal dividers or wire baskets so you can keep cooked and uncooked sausages apart. On some models metal heated spikes keep buns and baguettes warm. Others have metal wedges which hold the bun open ready for adding onions, ketchup or mustard.

Hot Dog Grills

Alternatively, for a higher output and slightly higher budget you may decide to choose a hot dog grill (known as a roller grill). These machines have a serious of horizontal stainless steel rollers which rotate to keep the sausages warm.
