Nostalgia Coca-Cola 2 Slot Bun Mini Tongs, Hot Dog Toaster Works with Chicken, Turkey, Veggie Links, Sausages and Brats, Retro Red

I got this because I hate boiled or microwaved hotdogs. I tend to only eat them when cooked over a firepit, or on the grill. This gets them tasting like I had cooked them over the firepit and or the grill! I use it all the time. Not necessarily the bun warmer aspect of it so much, but the hotdog part. Plus if the power goes out I can use it with my Jackery.

Better than I expected!Already ran hot dogs, sausages, and links on it. Everything done to perfection. The only way I could get a better dog is to use an outdoor grill, but this is winter so that's not an option, and it's way better than just close enough. Love it.*Pros: Toss'em on, wait 20 - 30, throttle it back a bit if I'm not quit ready yet.. It's a rotisserie, dinner is ready when I am lol*Cons: Only fits 4 dogs unless you're using the real tiny ones.Bun warmer works, but don't add buns until you're about ready to eat or you'll get half toast.*Tip: First turn on is a lil bit stinky, probably some protective coating on the rollers. I ran mine a bit so it could sterilize itself, no issues otherwise.

Make sure you read the directions for this toaster before using it. On the first use I put it on the "1" setting without any hotdogs in the basket to let the new coils "smoke" off, you have to watch it while doing this and make sure to hit the stop button as soon as the smoke is gone. It will smell awful when doing this but it is worth it(again, you aren't supposed to run it while nothing is in it but as long as you watch it it'll be fine). Just make sure the outside shell doesn't get too hot. I used Nathan's bun length, all beef hotdogs and put the dial on the "4" setting. It cooked them perfectly and they were straight from the fridge. Toasting the buns works but you really need the right buns and I would only put them in about midway through the hotdogs cooking time. Also, you can cook 2 hotdogs and then maybe 2 more after but I wouldn't go beyond this as the outside shell is plastic and it can get hot (and maybe even melt) if you cook more than this. If you have a larger family you might want to consider getting the toaster that cooks 4 at a time. Overall I think it's good for the novelty, and getting it on sale was worth it. It'd make a great gift for someone who loves hotdogs.

Put this for a Yankee swap gift. A friend who likes hotdogs got it. We tried it later. Hotdogs came out perfect. You have to be careful with the buns. The edges kind of burned but it’s no big deal. It is however, difficult to clean the area where the buns burned, but it is just bread that’s a tiny bit burnt so it’s no big deal. Very easy to clean the area where the hotdogs are cooked. Not too big, so it doesn’t take up too much counter-space. A cute little item. Nice to make a quick little snack or meal. Plus, it’s a nice little novelty item. Price is right. It did take a while to arrive though.

I bought this because i occasionally want a good hot dog or sausage dog. This was okay but didnt get the toastieness that I was hoping for. Had to cook the dogs 4 to 5 times to get heated all the way through. Its cute and matched my decor but other than that, not all that impressed

I was craving hotdogs from 711. So I found this at the top of my suggestions. I saw the reviews so I decided to buy it. YOU HAVE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST BEFORE USING. You have to be patient when cooking the hotdogs don't walk away or they'll burn. I noticed that after the fifth setting (circle) they will start to burn so you must adjust at the moment. As for the issue of the hotdogs not turning, if you read the instructions the hotdogs must be round not square. I fixed that issue by flatting the edges on the hotdogs before placing them on the rollers or just wait for the hotdogs to swell and turning them the first few seconds. The only problem is that the buns don't warm up and cleaning is alittle tedious but not impossible. Hope this helps.

Works great

I would be leary of this product- the handle snapped off the very first time being pressed down!I have wanted a hot dog toaster ever since I saw them in Sky Mall years ago! I finally decided to buy one...but for my brother's birthday in October. He has two little kids that this handy device could make snacks really quick for. OR... being the brilliant gift giver that I am I thought this could be perfect in the mancave, garage or out in the ice fishing house...I should have held my congratulations on the perfect gift...I visited his home for Christmas and on the way I stopped and picked up some hotdogs and buns- I was so excited to use my perfectly thoughtful gift! However, when I got there he told me that the lever broke off the first time he pushed it down. He is fix it guy so he thought he could fix it- however on the bottom of the toaster the screws holding it together are triangle heads and he did not have that type of bit. So he ended up some how safely getting it apart and then he frankensteined the handle back on. A good 1-2 hours later he had it put back together and we eagerly plugged it back in and pressed the lever to see if it worked. IT WAS ALIVE... AND SMOKEY. The hot plastic smell that poured out of it was terrible. He has a big kitchen and the whole kitchen smelled very strongly for 30 minutes after this. I guess this is supposed to happen on the first push but we tried it again and it still smelled bad. He refused to cook anything for his kids in something that smelled so bad and into the trash it went. Waa waa. Now I have to find him a replacement birthday gift.
