Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This hot dog toaster is worth every penny. Like the other reviewers said, when you get it, put it on 5 and run it through one cycle without any dogs or buns in it to burn it out, then it will be ready for use. I think it helps to flatten the buns out a bit so they rest against the heating surface. Also, I like to run it through a cycle with the dogs and buns, then turn the buns over and run it through again. Helps toast the buns evenly and gets the dogs a bit warmer. The dogs are much tastier when toasted than microwaved or boiled. Cleanup is pretty easy, although it can be a bit of a challenge to wipe down the surface that toasts the buns. I know this thing looks gimmicky, but it really is worth it if you enjoy a good hot dog!
