5 Hot Dog Gadgets Tested and Ranked! 

The Hotdogger is gonna get this video demonitized for adult content.

"I think we should use the mustard for... Oh I don't know" Lol.

My wife has one of those "hot dogger" things, but it takes batteries. I'll tell her about this one.

"hey honey, whatcha watching?" "Hot dog videos" "Oh...ok"

“Let me use some mustard to...” cuts off lube it up lmao

The Hotdogger should come with a parental advisory warning.

James is such a nice guy, trying to deliver wholesome content despite the jokes and innuendos this episode could contain. 😂

James, I applaud your ability to keep this video family friendly despite the content involved 🤣

The hotdogger sequence was filled with innuendo

Maybe I should use some mustard!... 😂 Quickly changes subject! 🤣🤣 Slowly slides the failure out of frame!! Im dieing of laughter over here!!!! 😂 😂 Omg!!!

The curl a dog actually makes hot dog spirals. You grill it with the skewer because you are supposed to expand the curl to get more crispy bits. The skewer holds everything in place. It's not for scoring but for spiralizing. :)

16:03 "Maybe I should use some mustard to " We all know that edited out part was "Lube it up" 😅😅😅

The hotdogger made me go full Beavis and Butthead, _"Cornholiooo!! Heheh heh Heheh..!"_ Yeah. Brutal-looking thing.

Seems like a knife you already have could easily split an uncut bun.

When I was growing up Hammacher Schlemmer (among others) sold a device called the HotDogger that basically electrocuted the hotdog back when two open 120 volt AC electrodes and a plug was a perfectly acceptable kitchen device!

The spiralizer thing is legit really cool. If you grill a curly dog you get a ton of extra browning on the exposed surface area. Plus it creates handy crevices for things like relish. Normally to make a hotdog like that you'd have to put a skewer through a regular hotdog and awkwardly cut a spiral with a knife, which is terrible for your knife and doesn't look as clean.

He was stuffing hotdogs in buns for the sake of science. 🤣☠

Yes!! I was just thinking “damn there isnt anything to watch” and freakin reviews came through!

That Hot Doglicious would be great for after school snacks. It’s easy enough for an older child to use, even with the 2 step cooking time to get the bun steamed just right. And a single hot dog is enough to keep an older kid held over until dinner is ready without spoiling their appetite.

For those that choose the oven, you could dice an onion while it cooks, or prep whatever else you might like to put on there. It looks like the buns would fit better if you put them all in sideways as well. The hotdogger may work better on some buns better than others. If I were to use it, I would poke the bun from both ends, put some mustard on one end, and use the wiener to spread it as you load it up.

A nice hot dog is always a pleasure. I dont care how old you get.

If you want the hotdogger to be effective you need to stop before you get to the big end and flip the roll around and go in from the other side

This man needs more subscribers, he reviews products and gives his honest opinion on weather or not they are worth it

The one feature I would like reviewed would be ease of cleaning. Particularly the toaster.

I knew as soon as I saw the hot dog bun this was wrong. 55 seconds on high is waaaayyy too long for a bun. 15 - 20 sec max.

The hot dogger is not actually meant for hot dogs...... 😅

“Drill, baby, drill” 🛢

Gonna order a couple of these gadgets. Thanks for taking one for the team in eating all those hot dogs! Great review, as always.

Imagine if you couldn't do the review because Bailey stole all the hotdogs :P

How hard did you laugh when you opened the box and saw the hotdogger? Love your reviews, always real and practical. Thank you.

I've been scoring hotdogs enough to lay them flat on a plate. I then microwave them at least 1 minute for each hotdog. The buns go in a toaster width for bagels. I've been doing this for 40 years. It makes a great hotdog and bun combination.

It makes me happy when I see how much you enjoy these things. I definitely would get the same thrill out of just messing with random gadgets off the internet

"I won't rest till I find a hotdog" - Homer Simpson

I love your review style, these are entertaining to watch even without interest in every single product. Well done!

I Have Watched A Lot Of Your Review Videos And Have Gotten Many Ideas Of What To Buy, What Not And Many Laughs Which We All Need. Thanks🐣

When you said "maybe I should use the mustard" I cried laughing. What a good video.

16:02 and I thought it was suggestive BEFORE that line lmao

Pedantic comment: The LEDs probably *are* blinking, albeit in a way that is imperceptible to the human eye. Your camera's shutter speed has timing which allows the blinking to be visible. Steve Mould discusses this issue at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c6NFuJMfmYU.html .

I can help it, but that Hotdogger drill looks more like some crazy BDSM adult toy. 🙈🙉🙊

Funny coincidence... I had watched last year's barbecue gadgets video, just last week. Top notch content, as always.

I had no idea that hotdog technology was so lit!

I think the Hotdogger is meant for French style hot dog buns that are more dense, sort of baguette like

Lmao the hot dogger! I don't know how he did this part of the video without cracking the hell up!! 😂😂😂😂

"maybe we can use some mustard to..." CUT lmfao thank you for the laughs

Never had any bread that when microwaved wasn't chewy

The hot dogger is ridiculous. Why did they make the handle part so big? lol. If the handle was the same size as the 'drill' part it would probably actually work. I don't understand how that makes it out of the design stage lol. I was thinking maybe 'drill' half the bun at a time, but still lol, this makes no sense! I find it actually frustrating how bad the design is 🤣

The first is the best one. Almost everyone has a microwave plus it would be so easy to store. The electric ones would take up too much storage space so unless hotdogs were your main food source, not worth it.

Omg, the part where James is trying to get the hot dogger and the hot dog itself into the bun should be rated X. 😮 Really funny to watch.

When he started messing around with the curl a dog... nothing but jokes. ☠🤣

In the UK our *Hot Dog Style* buns are not usually pre-cut. We mostly use them for sandwiches because Hot Dogs aren't as popular over here. ^-^

I could feel the excitement for the results of the first test.

My hot dog toaster is a summer staple. I put them down twice, turning them around between so they get yummy done. They usually burst open, but I like that. :-) Thanks for another great review.

"it's as far as it goes" that's what he said.

55 seconds is way too long for a bun in the microwave. The second one is how the instructions should read.

Come at it from both sides with the hot dogger 🤣🤣 perfect wording and for real homie. There are two sides to it hahaha

On the hot dog toaster, I actually smash the buns flat before putting them in -- it's not pretty, but it works better without burning the edges of the buns. I also cook the hot dog for two cycles, one with bun and one without.

Although that hotdogger reamer thingy was an epic fail (not your fault), I think probably it's meant to go in both ends. Kind of like when you're filling a cannoli you don't go all the way in from one end. I realize how pervy this all sounds, but just throwing in my two cents worth! Enjoyable and entertaining as always, James! Thank you.🌭💜

“Welcome back everyone it’s a new Freakin Review” love the channel and the great content.

i love the smoked sausages that they cook at convenience stores that have rolled for hours. they are horrible horrible for you but its a once or twice a year guilty pleasure.

I trick I use sometimes with the hot dog toaster is to take kitchen shears and trim a smidge off the buns before you put them in. Keeps the edges from getting wedged in the corners so they don't burn or get stuck in there as much. Much easier to get them back out. Plus, if you're like me and like plain old bread as a snack sometimes, you got something to nosh on while you're waiting on your lunch. Or you can feed 'em to the dogs or chuck 'em outside for the birds or whatever. Put the condiments on first and lay the hot dog on top (little trick I learned from my hometown hot dog joint) to keep everything as contained as possible and you're good to go.

I have a great hotdog gadget. It's called a decent pan. Cooks the hot dog, totastes the bun. No reason to buy anything else 😅

Am I the only one who appreciates the fact he used french's mustard?

I think the real winner here is Frenches mustard.

12:28 lol this is by far the most suggestive video I've seen on this channel 😂

"Oddly satisfying" 🤔 That last gadget should have had a mature rating, sheesh... i need a cigarette and cold shower after watching this

I developed something to score hot dogs right about the same time as I was teething....what a coincidence !

Thanks for the research info time and effort on product reviews and thanks for sharing your results

4:15 I had recently reheated chorizo dogs (in their original foil wrap) from the Raiders Alliance Stadium. I'd suggest wrapping this in a damp paper towel which should better steam the bun without it getting too chewy from microwaving. Worked great on the leftover stadium dogs.

I was holding my nether regions all the while.. why does this look so painful!

Hey James, can you do a video on bathroom scales? I'd like to see how various scales stack up against your testing for accuracy and consistency. And which provides the best value and features. I'll refrain from purchasing a new scale till then. Thanks!

I had one of those toasters and I wore it out. I used it for the hot dogs only. I prefer my hot dog buns steamed, not dried out and burnt on the sides.

16:02 “Maybe I should use some mustard to like…” Man was about to say lube it up LMAOO

Cut the end off the bun you are trying to “drill into”

Yes finally a real test over the Crazy Russian one..

Famous Last Words... "I'm only this far in"

I just ordered the coca cola hotdog toaster Friday. I've always wanted one. I should have thought to see if you had reviewed it or not before I bought it but too late! Lol glad to see it did well. I'm super excited to get it.

Man..imagine having to drill your own hot dog hole into your bread. I feel like this is an outdated invention by like.... 80 years or something rofl

everthing about the hot dogger screams "joke innuendo product" to me tbh

when i was in the czech republic there were stands with contraptions similar to the hotdogger. they were heated metal poles that ran the length of the bun but they were a uniform width. the person selling the hotdogs would shoot mustard in the hole then put in the hotdog. those worked much better than the hotdogger and was always a great thing to get on my trips

You said, Wander hot dog buns, lol, so funny. We used to have a Wonder Bread Bakery in our crappy city of Toledo, Ohio. It was the coolest, all their products, fresh breads, and the buns were the greatest you ever had. Great review and nice memories of the bakery.

does that yellow thing come with batteries?

Do people actually buy stuff like this because I feel like college kids wouldn't even buy this

1:59 Woah! That was quick. Kinda like me warming food at 1AM and sneaking back to my bedroom.

"Hot dog juice does not sound like a good thing." LOL

You should give the Slotdog from Vat19 a shot for scoring dogs. Metal blades, dishwasher safe, been using it for almost 5 years with no degradation or rust.

two suggestions; section/score the hotdog after done cooking and cut off the end before making the hole in the bun.

The day I buy a “hot dog gadget” is the day I need to change my life choices

The Hot Dogliciuos uses my cook technique. Hotdog in Microwave for 30 seconds then I put the bun over the top for 30 more seconds.

Edit: yeah what I describe is often done, where there is a microcontroller. Here, as pointed out in the replies, there doesnt seem to be any Im an electronics engineer, and here's the in depth (yet simple) of why the lights only blink on camera. It's caused by a trick used to make stuff cheaper, and its called multiplexing. Basically, a red LED requires you to connect 2 V from postive to negative. What these people do is that they use one pin for both LEDs, with one LED between the pin and 0 V, and the other LED between the pin an 2 V. Now here's the magic part: turn the pin off, and now it has 0V on it, so the led between 2V and the pin turns on. Now turn the pin on at 2V, the LED between it and 0V will turn on, and the other now sees 2V on both sides so it turns off. Technically, only one LED can ever be on. So what do they do when they need both on? Easy. They turn the pin on and off real fast. Your eyes just see dimmer LEDs and that's it. Now your camera has a timer, it tells it when to start the next of the 30 frames a second among many other things. Similarly, the toaster has a timer too, thought it might just be counting the grid pulses which are fixed at a very specific frequency. Anyway, it is statistically very improbable for two fixed frequency things to line up, hence why you see the strobe effect go from horrible to ok. But also hence why helicopter blades can be filmed stationary, they dont have a fixed timing

Why all that crap for making hotdogs ? Smh

I love my Hotdog toaster. And that toasteroven actually does actual sausages pretty well.

Nostalgia also has a rolling hot dog cooker that was not very impressive. Took forever to heat up and cook the dogs. However, that said, I also have their toaster unit. It’s great! In fact, I had some trouble with the push down handle and they replaced the unit free of charge. Great customer service. My favorite unit? The “Hot Dog Hero”. I got it at Toys R Us, and for a great steamed hot dog, it works better that any of the other cookers. Cost was about $5.00, and the dogs are come out hot and crunchy. Also, the unit barks when it’s done cooking. Drives my service dog nuts.

The drill one is great when you use french baguette instead of a hotdog bun. I love that way of making hotdogs

This was uploaded on my birthday. Thank you for the gift. It was obviously intentional, sorry it took so long to receive. To the timer, my cheapie apartment size washing machine does the same. Its a cheap timer mechanism just has a little extra tick room but the product turns off when it says, at least my washing machine does.

Lol, yeah love it up with some mustard 🤣🤣where'd the grease go in the nostalgic toaster !?!?!?!

our local joints in aus have a heated spike they stick a soft bun on, then they take it off once heated and run a bit of sauce in the hole and slide frank in it. great idea imo. makes them easy and clean to eat.

I bought the Microwave Hot Dog Cooker. I think it worked very well. I got one for my sister since she is lazy. She liked it too.

@Freakin'Reviews - James, I've been using the curl-a-dog for many years, and I actually forgot that the skewers came with them, lol! I've never used them. I have found this tool so helpful in quickly scoring and making phenomenal grilled hot dogs, that are extra flavorful and hold any condiments in the gaps created. I've used both sizes for smaller hot dogs and larger sausages, and it just works like a charm! 😉😎

I love the idea of the hot dog roller toaster oven, wish it ranked higher. However, for baked beans with hot dogs, I love the curly dog or whatever it's called.

Dude got super clean, and cut finger nails! Love it!
