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!!!

Thank you @tokookah@discuss.tchncs.de!

The hotdog fits in my frying pan! Hot dog in tiny frying pan

Completed dog

Mayonnaise on English bread, Lettuce ontop, dog on lettuce, Ketchup, Mustard, delicious!

You’ll start a grease fire almost certainly, but sure, go for it. It will definitely be cooked.

Does it being a vegan hotdog change this outcome?

no animals were harmed in the making of this grease fire

Do you have a microwave? I put lightlife's in my microwave for 90 seconds on rotate and they come out okay. Or you can boil and then pan-fry to make the skin crispier, or you could just pan-fry.

If it has fat in it (it probably does) it can drip out and start a fire. I’d microwave it or boil it before putting it in a toaster. A toaster oven with a pan is fine, if that’s what you mean? Some people call them the same thing.

Nope, vertical toaster. But thank you for explaining further!
