Some feature a rotisserie function where they can be slow cooked to preserve flavor and juices.
  
  

Features

• Many hot dog cookers feature rollers in which the hot dogs roll while receiving even heat distribution. Some cookers feature electric heating lamps that keep the hot dog warmed while being cost-effective at the same time. Most hot dog cookers are temperature regulated to determine how fast the hot dog will be cooked. Some hot dog cookers also feature bun warmers, which make serving convenient as well as tasty.
  
  

Considerations
