Nostalgia HDC-701 Carnival Hot-Dog Cart with Umbrella Review

This was a huge hit at my last family get-together. It makes great hot dogs, and does a nice job of keeping everything warm. The directions on how to assemble were awful. My husband had a hard time, because it came with a lot of screws, etc.-it just doesn't go into to detail on how to put it together. It does come with a nice cover for when it's not in use.
Everyone seemed to like making their own hot dog their way. We had a great time with it, and we think it will be a hit at our backyard carnival.

Deion Sanders Hot Dog Express Review

Deion Sanders' Hot Dog Express is an obvious attempt to exploit the wild success of George Foreman's grills, however Deion was not savvy enough to work with a high-quality manufacturer like Salton to manufacture his product.The Hot Dog Express is an OK quality product, but handling it gives hints that it will not last as long as a George Foreman grill does.

That being said, it did cook some very tasty hot dogs.It has the rollers like a professional hot dog stand, and takes about 14 minutes to cook eight hot dogs.I used Oscar Meyer beef dogs and they tasted better than any boiled hot dog ever could.The buns warmed on the cover as the dogs cooked.

The only obvious quality problem was the timer dial.It is marked for the length of time you want the cooker to run.I set mine for 14 min, but found that it stopped at the three minute mark and had no alarm bell to indicate the completion of cooking.To compensate, I have to set mine to 17 min, and keep my eye on the clock.This may be a manufacturing problem only with my unit, but is only mildly irritating.I tend to keep an eye on cookers when they are running anyway, for safety reasons.

The unit cleans up easily, as they state.The rollers and the "oil collection tray" both come out of the cooker for easy cleaning in the sink.

Overall, I do recommend this product because it cooks a very good hot dog.It will serve some heavy duty time on my patio this summer.

Maverick HC-01 Hero Electric Hot-Dog Steamer, White Review

I received this item as a gift and was pleasantly surprised at how well it makes hot dogs.I even tried skinless hot dogs (which normally lose a lot of taste when boiled or microwaved) and they tasted great!This machine is well worth the money.It makes quick, easy, and flavorful hot dogs every time.

Product Description:
Designed in the shape of a dog, this hot-dog cooker comes complete with long black ears, a friendly face, and a collar with a red tag that reads "Hot Dog Hero". Even more than being cute, it makes cooking up hot dogs quick and easy. Simply place the cooking tray on the base, pour in water to the indicated level, and add up to six hot dogs--it works with beef hot dogs as well as veggie dogs. After turning it on, the unit will steam-cook up to four hot dogs in less than seven minutes or six hot dogs in less than nine minutes. And there's no need to worry about over-cooking--it shuts-off automatically when cooking has finished and a voice chip "barks" until the unit gets unplugged. Carefully remove the cooked hot dogs with a pair of tongs or a fork, then enjoy with ketchup, mustard, relish, and more. Other highlights include an "on" indicator light, a stay-cool curved tail for lifting off the lid, and a food tray that cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. A measuring cup for precise measuring comes included. The 350-watt ETL-listed hot-dog steamer measures 9-1/2 by 7-4/5 by 7 inches.

Nostalgia Electrics HDR565 Hot Dog Roller with Griddle Review

This hot dog maker is obviously waay cute. It's also a good price. Compared to other cutesy hot dog makers, 8 dogs is a good number. I love the carnival themed umbrella sneeze guard over the dogs, and having that double as a bun warmer was an inspired idea. The poles that hold up the umbrella are nice and sturdy, and it assembles in only 1 minute. This thing has many bonus features:

*Rollers look just like the industrial unit at your local convenience store. They really roll!
*It can also handle 4 foot long dogs and even foot long buns! That's really great because my wife loves those. However, 4 is an anemic number.
*Nostalgia went to the extra expense to include an on/off switch and even a temp control. Temp control should prove useful vs. devices that do not include that.
*This unit includes a griddle attachment for hamburgers/bacon/sausage, etc. I think the unit is too small to be useful for frying hamburgers; you could only do two at a time. The griddle drops in where the rollers would otherwise go, so switching functions is not going to be convenient and will require tools or heat proof gloves if you don't want to wait for a cool-down period.
*The heating element is a beefy rectangular coil that gives good coverage of the cooking area and is directly exposed to the dogs, yielding fast, strong heat.
*The drip tray, griddle, and rollers are all removable for easy cleanup. Love that.
*The rollers are beefy all metal construction - nice.

So that adds up to one very nice unit, of which Nostalgia should be proud. The only real shortcoming I see is that eight dogs, while a good number for a toy device like this, can't stand up to much crowd control. Figure at least two dogs for each child, and three for each man and you're feeding only three to four people per batch. Assume the thing is lightning fast at ten minutes per batch and you see that you're going to need ten of these toys to feed your super bowl party, hahahaha.

Then you have to ask yourself, is this gizmo worth the space? It's pretty big, about the size of a toaster oven. Will you keep it out on the counter and use this special purpose device often (doubtful)? How far back in the closet will it be stored and will you go to the trouble to drag it out to cook up dogs for three people, pack it back up, and re-store it (doubtful)? So is it worth the space? I think it's probably best suited for its intended audience: a party of four kiddos.

Nostalgia RHD-800 Retro Hot-Dog Roller Review

I really like the taste of the hotdog after it has cooked and got all shrivelly on it.Cleaning it is a bit odd.Leaving the rollers in and cleaning with a damp cloth.It took a tiny bit of elbow grease.

Nostalgia HDT-600 Hot-Dog/Pop-up Toaster Review

My teenager saw this toaster in a catalog and thought it sounded like an easy way to make tasty hot dogs, but he is sorely disappointed in its performance. The instructions state that the hot dogs should be room temperature when inserted into the toaster. Who keeps their meat at room temperature? If the hot dogs are cold when put in the toaster, the outside gets warm but the inside remains cold. Thus, they need to be toasted several times to get them warm all the way through, or else they need to be warmed up in the microwave first-what a pain! Setting the heat for the highest temperature does a better job of heating the hot dog, but also a better job of burning the edges of the bun. He has had problems with the regular size hot dogs expanding and being difficult to remove. Also, during one of the repeated toasting episodes, he pushed the stop button and it fell back into the machine, so now he must use a chopstick to activate the stop mechanism. I found this toaster online for $12.95, but wish I had bought a toaster oven instead-it would have done the same job and been much more versatile.
