Does it brown the hot dogs or just get them hot? Thanks

It actually Browns the hotdogs but not so much for the bread. You can enjoy good hotdogs in a short time.

I just got done cooking on mine, I,absolutely love that grill. And I cook mostly on high, then hot dogs, sausage links, and chicken on low to medium. Trust me you will enjoy it

Its terrible. ..honestly ane ez bake oven would work better. It took 10 minutes to make 1 hotdog it cooked uneven..burned one side raw on the other. The sharp half pint is a far superior microwave.

Depends on the setting you use. You can cook them fairly quickly on a medium setting, about 3-4. It takes about 7-10 minutes. They will cook faster on high (5) but you have to watch they don't get dried out or slightly burned. You can use the back three rollers to keep cooked dogs warm, on a low setting (1-2). I LOVE my hot dog griller and we have used it many times for various events! It is worth every penny we paid for it!

I used mine to brown hamburger meat the first time, and was shocked that there was nothing to clean up after wards. Literally just wiped down once with a sponge and that was it. Love it!!

Probably just warm up the food but it does get things really hot. In fact, I had to turn it off otherwise it would scorch the food.

yes you can brown with this, also has slow cooker setting and pressure cook setting.

It takes about 5 minutes for the grill to heat up. After it's ready, I would say it takes around 15-20 minutes for 8 hot dogs.

For things like hamburger buns, it does a nice job of toasting them and keeping them warm. There's a setting on the knob which is just "Warm" and once my food is cooked, I can just turn it down to that, and it keeps it from getting cold if I still have some other things left to prepare. It also keeps the cooked food from burning. Hopefully that answers your question!

Yes! The hot dog is completely heated through and HOT when it pops up. If you wanted to you could put the hot dog down again but if you use the right size it should be heated through.

I don't....it does not affect performance. It took years for mine to turn brown, and I started wiping them with a damp cloth off between cookie batches.

I have done this several times now and endorse the other answer here: butter helps to brown the exterior, it hasnt burned on me yet, and I am still in awe of how easy this thing is to clean up. Enjoy!

Well, some friends roasted smores over mine recently and it was ok... Last time someone reheated some meat as a last resource and after some drinks, it dripped some fat on the black iron of the "bowl" (pit) and it was kinda hard to clean. If you don't plan to keep it superneat and it's just getting some flames on your hot dogs using a skewer or similar, I don't see why not...

it takes at least 1 hour to grill hot dogs that are edible,i only bought it because of the cheap price,but don't expect the promise of 10 to 15 minutes cooking time

Depends on your setting High-Medium-or Low and the size and how dark you like your Hot dogs but i can give you my average of 15-20 minutes on high or medium and then keep warm on low

Mine does not display this characteristic. I oiled mine with butcher block oil when it was new and did not get any brown transfer.

it can brown, it has a removable pot that is teflon lined and easy clean but no rack....I would buy it again and as a gift without question
