Does anyone know how many hotdogs you can cook at a time with the rollers and steamer areas?

About 7 or 8 on the roller, and I've had over 16 hotdogs in each of the (2)steamer/boiler which I might add is very convenient. Because some like them on the roller, and some like them steamed/boiled. To speed cooking process on the roller, I've used hotdogs that was in the steamer also.

I bought another set. I heat up one set, and as soon as I take off one heated roller I put on one of the unheated rollers and close the lid. By the time I use all the first round of heated rollers, the second round is heated.

Thirty nice sized hot dogs! It does a fantastic job cooking and keeping them warm. I LOVE my griller!

Yes. The red stripped canopy is a hinged lid that covers a space to hold about five hot dog rolls. If you place the rolls in this space about four minutes before the hot dogs complete the cooking cycle, the rolls will be lightly toasted. If you put the rolls in this space too early they will be dried out or very crispy. We like the buns warm, but not toasted, so two minutes is enough for us. This space does not have its own heating element, but the heat rising from the hot dog rollers below does the warming and toasting of the buns.

Yes, there is a drip pan under the hot dogs. Cleaning the rollers isn't too difficult-the trickiest part is cleaning the plastic gaskets on each end of each roller. Also, do NOT try bratwurst on it!!

I've never had a 7-11 hotdog, but I think the taste depends on the quality of the hotdog. Get the premium kind and I know you will be pleased :))

you can try other items. however with brats and sausage you will have a lot of grease. I'm sticking with the hot dogs. I don't want to ruin my machine.

If you turn the heat off it will stop the rollers. You can turn it on low heat. We love this hot dog cooker, I had one that steamed the hot dogs but we had to many problems with it. Hope this helps.

I believe there are at least 20 jumbo-size rollers. There might be 30, I'm not sure. I just know that I have long hair (approximately 4 inches below my shoulders) and I have a lot of coarse hair and I did not have to use all my rollers. Hope that helps.

It holds 30 standard hot dogs. The machine works great but I've learned to keep the heat on low for even cooking.

I love these rollers. I have been using versions of them for years. Basically you have to let the roller steam until it is warm and slightly damp. You can only do one at a time. However, once you get into a rhythm it doesn't take longer than traditional heat roller. I steam, take of the roller and put another one on the steamer while I roll my hair with the first. My hair is midback so the roller doesn't get too damp by leaving it on while I roll. If you have shorter hair, you probably will just want to leave the rollers on for less time. The ionic steam is SO GENTLE on the hair. And the shine is sensational. Plus, the curl lasts longer than with traditional heat rollers. I love these rollers.

I use a half a hot dog... the bun length kind (they aren't too long for us, although I note another user complained that they were too long. I prefer that size in half for this machine, actually.) Or the shorter kind in half of course fit, or little breakfast sausages placed in a pancake mix also work well. I just measured, though, and there are 3.8" total in the longest part of the machine, but obviously if you cut the dogs to that size, they wouldn't fit because it curves around the edges and you also need room for the batter to surround the dog.

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!

Just put the buns on the rollers perpendicular to the hot dogs and close the lid - you can only fit 3 hot dogs and 2 buns at the same time. So the cover doesn't really serve as a bun warmer that I am aware of but it's still a great machine in my opinion.

Your best bet is to bring them to a boil first and then put them in the machine and use it as a warmer. I believe if you do this 48 is a reasonable count for dogs and buns. To just throw them in and walk away is just going to give you a problem. They wont be ready when you want them.
