I like New England style buns better anyway. I have now bought New England style buns which open at the top instead of the sides and hope that will alleviate that problem. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is because it has a tendency to burn the outside edges of the buns. And easy to clean! Comes with little tongs to pick up the buns and dogs, although you can lift up the hot dog holding part. Toaster is clean and dry after going through the cycle. I had been afraid there would be a mess with hot dog juices, but that is not the case. This way the hot dogs are nice and hot and the buns done perfectly. What I usually do is the hot dogs first alone one time, then put in the hot dog buns and do another cycle. I use natural casing hot dogs and you can hear them pop and sizzle in the toaster. Now I am spoiled, I must have the buns toasted. I just really, really wanted a hot dog toaster.I really love this pop-up hot dog toaster because I am a senior and live alone and it is super fast for me to make two hot dogs with toasted buns. The saddest part about all this is I wasn’t even drinking when I ordered it. It’ll sit in the back of my kitchen cupboard, where all bad appliances go to die. Will I ever use the Nostalgia hot dog toaster again? Probably not. The specially designed hot dog toaster accomplished nothing a normal toaster oven wouldn’t, except for burning hot dog tips. Hot dogs don’t leave the same kind of ‘protective’ layer, so it’s burnt wieners, every goddamn time.Īfter all that unnecessary struggle, the hot dogs tasted…fine. Even if I didn’t want to return this toaster, I have to leave burnt bun on the inside to protect the buns I toast.

It makes a protective barrier, and is as disgusting as it sounds. This countertop hot dog toaster has the ability to cook two hot dogs, sausages or brats along with inserts to warm the buns. (I honestly can’t believe I just wrote that sentence.) The buns burn along the edges, and the only way to prevent that is to leave the charred remains of sacrificed buns stuck to the inside of the toaster. If your wieners aren’t jumbo-sized, they will tilt over in the hotdog basket, press against the hot metal, and burn quickly-but just the tips. That’s not so convenient for a machine that is supposed to cook both at the same time.īut no matter the heat setting, the dogs and buns will burn. It was the only way I could get both to my preferred level of doneness, and keep both the dogs and bun nice and warm. I ended up setting the heat dial to 2 (out of 5), cooking the hot dogs first, and then putting the buns in, so the buns got one round at the second heat setting and the dogs got two rounds. If you want hotdogs with crisp skin, the buns will burn. If you want slightly toasted buns, the hotdogs will come out cold. You can put any dog made of any kind of meat (even tofu dogs) into the toaster, which is a bonus But the heat dial applies the same amount of heat to both the hot dogs and buns. When it was time for the buns to pop out of the toaster, they got stuck again, sometimes not even popping out at all, so I had to use the provided tongs to pull them out. Ballpark buns, for example, are too fluffy and sticky to fit inside the toaster when you press the lever. The heat dial, stop button, and lever all work as expected, but not every brand of bun will fit into the bun-toaster.
The cord attaches to the front of the toaster on the underside, too, so unless you want to wrap the already short cord around one side to reach a kitchen outlet, the heat dial and rest of the toaster controls will face away from you toward the wall. The cord is too thick to wrap neatly under the toaster-and that’s one of its highlighted features. It’s stuff that looks like it could have been around in the mid-20th century, but according to my mum, wasn’t. This hot dog toaster is part of the Nostalgia line of 1950s-inspired kitchen appliances, which covers everything from snow cone machines to 3-in-1 breakfast makers. I can’t even return the thing, because I’d have to clean the burnt remnants of dog and bun out, and frankly, that’s an impossible task. If you could put a price tag on happiness, $US17 ($26) is well worth it. Call it a completely irrational quarantine splurge, but I convinced myself I would love this toaster, which I found on sale for the low, low cost of $US17 ($26). So when I came across a hot dog toaster that toasts both hot dogs and hot dog buns at the same time, I had to have it. The reward centre of my brain lights up every time I see or smell them. My parents used to reward me with the cheap and oh-so-delicious hot dogs from Costco for making it through a Sunday afternoon shopping session, so that’s probably why I love them so much.
