Back in the 70's, we had one of those hot dog cookers that consisted of 
a heat resistant plastic box with a clear lid, two pot metal rails with 
five spikes on each, angled in, and a line cord.  You stuck the hot dogs 
on the ends of the spikes across the rails, closed the lid, plugged it 
in (no switch) and waited a minute or two for the dogs to sizzle.  It 
might have had a power interlock in the lid hinge, I don't recall.

It is rumored that it was common practice to cook franks with nothing 
more than a line cord.  I suspect though, if you installed five lengths 
of kielbasa and fired up that whiz-bang appliance thing ... it would 
probably trip the breaker.

The franks cooked up and tasted pretty good, but not as good as when 
boiled in beer.  There used to be a chain of restaurants that featured 
hot dogs boiled in beer -- anybody remember?
