    I still own one of these. I bought it when my kids were small and use it every now and again with my grandchildren. They get a kick out of using all of the old gadgets. They like making air popcorn with the top off on a sheet spread out on the floor (I used to do that when my kids had sleepovers), and making shakes with the shake maker. Great for movie night.

      In 1969 my parents took us on a 9000 mile 6 week tour across the USA in a Dodge Travco 27 foot motorhome. My mom asked Amana Co if she could buy a microwave oven to road test the unit. They gave her one free of charge. We impressed people all over the USA because microwave ovens were rare in those days.
      Amana told her that an identical Radarange was used by the returned Moon mission astronauts who were quarantined inside a special Airstream trailer. That unit took to the road like a champ and was later used in my college dorm room. And yes, mom had a wiener electrocuter, too.

The cord was attached to the lid and had to be handwashed. It's almost funny to think how amazed we were as kids to watch a hot dog cook. If you left it plugged in too long though, the franks would split open and some arcing would occur.

    When I was in grade school, we would drive two nails about a hot dogs length apart into a board. We would then hook up an old lamp cord or such to the nails. Placed a hot dog, one end on one nail, the other end on the other nail. Plugged the sucker in and shortly had a great cooked hot dog. I can't imagine how our parents didn't find out about it. Maybe they knew. We even had one at school at least once. I'm surprised I'm still alive ... LOL

    The best thing about the Presto Hot Doggers is that they cook from the inside out (via electrocution), and the hot dogs stay so much hotter, so much longer, than they do by any other cooking methods (microwave/grill/boiling) that cook from the outside first.

Im writing too much, but id really love you watching you eating a completo ♥️♥️♥️ also you can add some aditional sauces like ketchup, mustard, and whatever you like. Just enjoy the flavor of hot dog with avocado and tomato and mayo, you will not regret i promisse♥️♥️♥️

      I got one of these with paper route money, probably in '77 too, but the real basic one.
      Over the years I've talked to people who bought one too. Everyone had the same experience with the first dog.
      I don't thing the one we saw today was brand new. If it was, the look on her face after the first bite would have been hilarious. And I can laugh because _I took the first bite too!_ (Presto didn't warn us, the first dog tastes horribly metallic.)

    Neat demonstration Emmy! My parents bought one of these in the late 70's. I remember them being advertised heavily on TV. It cooked fast but the hot dogs always had a strange metallic taste to them, especially at the ends. We also made them in Cub Scouts with a cut-off extension cord, two wood blocks and nails. (looking back that was kind of unsafe!)

    • @JavaRatusso
      @JavaRatusso 5 лет назад +1

      That odd taste... Like the odor of ozone wafting out of a shorted electrical appliance! Yeah I recall that's why I stopped using our Hotdogger! I definitely recall that the odor did not fade by letting the dog sit a minute and it wouldn't rinse off it under the kitchen faucet. Thanks for validating my memory!

    When I was very young I found an old Boy Scout article (?) that showed how to make something similar. It used two long nails driven through a 2x4 with the power cord attached to the nails. Of course it was totally dangerous but, hey... I was a young boy and immortal. I thought the taste was better than cooking them the standard way. I gave up on using it one day when I tried to put the hot dog on the nails while it was still plugged in. My mouth tasted like copper for about an hour.

    For all of my "back east" peeps, as I live in Cali now b/c of the Marines, I grew up in Valley Forge, PA... Remember the "Ready and Eddy Show"? He had a pair of prongs he hooked to a hot dog and plugged into a wall. After a while, the hot dog would stared smoking a little. Once it was fully cooked, he gave it to an audience member. Taught electrical safety. I was born 1970, saw that around '75-77.

We were left alone when mom worked in the day before child protective services would be called. Microwaves hadn’t come along yet and this was convenience food. Mom trusted us more with this than the stove I guess.

    I once saw some hot dogs boiled in an Ikea shop, so I tried to do that, and wow, they are really good. I just set water and hot dogs in a bowl and just microwave it like 3/4 minutes. Before that, I "fried" them in microwave for a couple of minutes (I chopped the middle a bit and add a bit of olive oil, I used to cook them this way when I was a grown kid and my parents let me experiment in kitchen for my "merienda" time).
