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!!!

      When it’s off, the coils are not live or else they would heat up.

      Still never stick a metal utensil in a toaster.

        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.
