    Can you Microwave Regular Hot dogs?

    Hello! My Mom and I are having an argument about microwaving hot dogs. She says that I can use a regular hot dog, put holes in it, and it's microwavable! But I feel if the package that came with the hot dogs doesn't say microwavable, then it's probably not a microwavable hot dog!

    So are the regular hot dogs just as microwavable as the "microwavable" hot dogs?

    Why don't you try it out and tell us?


    Or even better, stick a couple of green grapes in your microwave for a minute or so.

    yeah, just roll them in a napkin and don't do it for too long. They're already cooked; just heat em up

    wow....how can you even have an argument about that - i didn't even know that there are packages which say "microwavable" on them; I microwave whatever hotdogs I have - punching holes? wtf? but you just have to wacth the time and heat power as they have a tendency to explode if left in for too long.

    But I don't understand, why don't they put "Microwavable" on the packages that have barbeque cookout pictures on?

    It seems logical that it would be OK to microwave regular hot dogs, but there's no "this is microwave safe" stamp :(
