does it just heat the hot dog? What if I want to cook a bratwurst in it?

it will work...just have to increase the white turn dial which controls the length of time. You can make them come out looking like they came of a grill.

the directions clearly state of regular size hot dogs I am i understanding are bratwurst are a lot bigger um in our case the minute we turn we put the umm the handle down it was broken so are the hot dogs the regular size hot dog sitting there quite well it's just that

It cooks the hotdog and toasts the bun. Only a regular sized hotdog will fit. Anything larger will get stuck.

I'm not totally sure, but I have only used it as a warmer. It can get things pretty warm (dips) but I'm not sure how it would work for things that are not cooked prior.

that would depend on the hot dog you put on the machine and you MUST watch the temp ...

Just fill it with water and turn it to keep warm or boil. It gets the water hot and and it actually stays hot on the keep warm setting. This is a very poweful appliance. I use it all the time and I love the way it works.

It does get pretty hot, however I'm not sure you could truely cook anything in it - per se, as it is a warmer - not a true cooker. However, it "cooked" a can of soup for me in about 30 minutes. I warmed a rice based dish in it and that was perfect. Also mac and cheese. I have also thought that it might be good for cooking hot dogs - you'd have to cut them in half and add water - but I think it has enough heat for those (they are "cooked" already).

I apologize for delay in answering. I thought I answerd from my phone. It can heat muffins, but you will need to guess at time and temperature. I don't know if it boils water. I got rid of my microwave. I bought this convection oven to use in place of it. I find it is much easier and quicker to use to my stove/oven. This is good for making a meal, so it is rarely used. I have heated microwave food in it. Again it is a guessing game as to time and temperature. Good luck in your decision. It is very easy to clean. Come to think of it you could boil water because that is what you have to do to clean it. I apologize for delay in answering. I thought I answerd from my phone.

No it doesn't. Sorry to report. Even with hot water to warm it, food is luke warm at best.

Yes you can. I've used the grill for burgers, bratwurst, hot dogs, etc.. Works great and holds up to heat. Obviously it'll rust after the paint burns off, but a little WD-40 now and then allows the "hinging" to work again. (the WD-40 burns off, of course). A great grill for cooking on.

Frankly, I Haven't ckecked that. However, you can bake it and put it in the microwave, so I think it has pretty high tollerance to heat. Hope this helps.

The shell does get hot but not enough to act like a grill! Plus that would be quite the mess to clean up. Plus this is a smoker, and a very good one, so everything that U would want to prepare goes inside for the best results.

Yes it heats from the middle so batter that falls to the bottom does not burn

Sure you can. Heat is heat whether on a stove or grill or candle for that matter. To cook good waffles on this thing your temp needs to be medium high as they say on the fancy cooking shows. Just play with it a few times. You'll get it. This waffle iron is a good one. Might get that bbq flavour in the waffles though. Don't know if I'd like that.

Sort of. The buns are warmed by the heat element cooking the hotdogs. I highly recommend this product. My kiss use it all the time.

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.

It's tiny, not sure what you would cook. Also keep in mind there's NO adjustable heat setting.

Yes it does - all you need to do is wash, read a bit of the instruction book, screw on the handles (which I did easily) and cook away! Love Presto! I've had one for 40 years, just needed a bigger one!

Hi AlexaYou can certainly use to keep hot dogs warm after cooking but I would not recommend using to cook the dogs. It's a great warmer. Worked great for my son's party to keep food warm.
