How long does it take to properly cook a hotdog (non-frozen)?

about 5 minutes. I had mine cook the dogs first, then turned it down to hold them for my customers for lunch. It ran for about 4 hours per day.....all 3 machines (2 replaced) died within 2 weeks (rotation motor). If this is for home use, you will be fine... if for commercial use, spend more money on a better product.

Just two, three minutes. I like mine well done so I cook them for a cycle and a half. Its really quite fast and a lot of fun! Everything pops up....like a toaster!

It only takes a couple minutes to warm up. From my experience, how long it takes to bake a muffin depends, in part, on what kind you are making. That said, usually it takes me about 5-10 minutes--with a heavier batter taking the longer time.

It takes about 12 minutes. 5 minutes for preheat and 7 for the burgers. Light will be yellowish orange for medium and it also beeps to let you know.

Cooking times vary based on temperature setting, but frozen Corn Dogs take approximately 40 minutes on a temp setting of around 150 degrees.Refrigerated Hot Dogs and Italian Sausage take a bit less time.The beauty of this cooker is you can let the dogs cook while you are doing other chores or taking care of your customers or your guests.Great machine; highly recommend!Joe Levine Burleson, TX

I don't know. The grease from the hot dog may be too much. There is nothing in the manual regarding cooking hotdogs.

It takes approximately two minutes to heat up to cooking temp, and between 5 to 7 minutes to cook a normal sandwich. But what I like the best is that since it is a flat surface above and below, you can get a perfect sandwich from many different types of bread. Also if you wanted to use for a quick grill such as fry an egg or so, it can also be done. Hope it helps.

I put the dogs in once I see steam (30 min.) on the windows, Then I cook them for about 45 min. to an an hour. You can leave them in on medium heat for about 5-6 hours.

Depends on the setting you use. You can cook them fairly quickly on a medium setting, about 3-4. It takes about 7-10 minutes. They will cook faster on high (5) but you have to watch they don't get dried out or slightly burned. You can use the back three rollers to keep cooked dogs warm, on a low setting (1-2). I LOVE my hot dog griller and we have used it many times for various events! It is worth every penny we paid for it!

For me, they never cooked. Had them on there for a while, say 5 to 7 minutes and they were like warm at best. With the party getting ready to start, we nuked them and put hot dogs back on there. Have not tried it a 2nd time.

I think it's like 10 min, not for sure. I used a microwave steamer, steamer bag or the dishwasher. I didn't have time to wait around for water to boil etc.

I would say approximately 20 to 25 minutes depending on how many cups you are cooking. I usually cook 2 cups.

Contact Heartland, they're very helpful. Trust me though, you do not need the instruction book. Cook everything at nearly 480 (the highest setting) and adjust times to your liking. Boneless, skinless chicken goes from frozen to cooked in 25 minutes for me. A good thick steak cooked fresh takes about 17 minutes to medium.

I was using my candy thermometer but it broke so I have been using my digital meat thermometer. I couldn't get it to work in a double boiler on the stove, but using a microwave it takes around 8-9 minutes to get to the appropriate temperature. I stir mine every couple minutes until it is at the right temp. It takes around 30-40 minutes to cool to the right temp to add the yogurt starter. I stir every 5 minutes while cooling.

Contact the manufacturer or run a search online for directions. Ours came with directions. I've found that setting the timer for 10 minutes insures perfectly cooked hot dogs and perfectly steamed buns. Be sure to not cover the air holes in the bun steamer with the buns. When they're done, carefully remove the bun steamer lid and wipe condensation from the bottom of the lid. This will prevent the buns from getting soggy as they sit waiting to be consumed. Don't let the water reservoir run out of water. You always want to keep it at least half full while cooking. Using filtered water will prevent the heating element in the water reservoir from becoming corroded with calcium. Contact the manufacturer or run a search online for directions.

The setting on "fast cook" hot does runs a little hot, so instead of 4 hours, I just turn it to "slow cook" around 3.7 hours. Really is nothing major... I have it for awhile now and use it at least once a week. Still love it! Hope this helps.
