Bet it does great hot dogs! Someone have a recipe!

You don't need a welder to "Westinghouse" a hot dog - just two
stainless steel table forks, a "Killer Cord" with a 120V wall plug and
two alligator clips on the other end, and a wooden cutting board.

Stick the tines of forks in each end of the hot dog about 1/2", clip
the power cord onto the fork handles or shafts, arrange the dog and
forks on the cutting board so it's insulated from the counter or
anything metallic. Then plug in the power cord till the hot dog
reaches the desired state of doneness - and don't touch it while it's
cooking.

If you have a SWMBO, don't use the good forks. ;-)

Or buy the old Presto "Hot Dogger" which did the same thing, but
enclosed the dogs in a plastic case to catch spatters and prevent
electrical contact.

I had one of the old Hot Doggers. I only used it a couple times as
it made the hot dog taste a bit "off" for some reason.

Dummies at Presto used pot-metal Zinc/Tin/AL/Mystery Metal 'hot-dog
stabber' electrodes to be cheap, and they added unwanted flavor to the
dog. (Duh!) That's the reason I said to use Stainless Steel forks.
