I don’t want to go grill it outside because it is cloudy today.

And boiling it makes it kinda flobby.

Has anyone grilled a hotdog in a bread toaster before? any hints?

Edit 1:

Pan fried following this advice!

I had a delicious meal!!!

Thank you @tokookah@discuss.tchncs.de!

The hotdog fits in my frying pan! Hot dog in tiny frying pan

    Respectfully, that’s not the case. The heating elements always have current supplied to them, but the circuit is open until you complete it by pressing the moving segment down. When you use a metal tool and accidentally touch the side, you complete the circuit.

    This is also how people can kill themselves by putting a toaster into a bathtub while they are in it.

      Most toasters the switch does not engage until the bread carrier is pushed all the way down.

        You don’t need a switch if you are bypassing it with a knife or other conductive object, that’s what I’m trying to tell you. A toaster has literally no protection - if you complete the circuit in any way (the intended way or not), the entire path becomes electrified.
