Overview
A party counter, game room or dorm kitchen is where this metallic red pop-up cooker belongs. The hot dog cage lifts out, and the mini tongs remove the cooked links without touching the hot slots.
Speed and fun are the reasons to own it, since a hot dog cooks without a pan or grill. The limit is output, because two slots mean small rounds.
Who it's for
Kids' parties and dorm rooms get a novelty cooker with simple controls. Cooks wanting to toast bread slices or roll out batches for a crowd need another appliance.
Pros and cons
- Retro metallic red finish
- Adjustable heat settings
- Removable hot dog cage
- Mini tongs included
- Only two slots
- Plastic body material
- Single program only
Performance notes
Heating elements inside the cage cook each link from the outside, so cook level depends on the chosen setting and the thickness of the sausage. Extra-plump dogs need a higher setting than slim links. The LED display shows the chosen setting as the cooker works.
