What is THE BBQ classic that everyone loves? You definitely say the hot dog, because who doesn't love a good old hot dog? Today, I present to you 10 recipes to reinvent the classic and get you off the beaten track, are you tempted?
First, if you don't have the Twist-O-Max , I would say, run out and buy one, because it is the accessory that will take your hot dog game to the next level.
What is the Twist-o-Max? It is the revolutionary ACCESSORY that restores the nobility of the hot dog. Thanks to this accessory you will be able to lengthen and unroll the sausage in a spiral, which allows more contact with the grill, and therefore promotes caramelization, cooks faster and, as a bonus, adds more space to add your favorite condiments. What more could you ask for? Oh yes! A few recipe ideas perhaps…
