Hot dog steamers are high-volume units that allow you to cook many hot dogs at once, some as many as 200 hot dogs at a time. Steamed hot dogs have a nice snap and cook evenly for consistent, delicious results. These steamers are best used in back-of-house since their bulk output is better for production than for display purposes.
Rollers are designed to cook hot dogs evenly, and they can even give the hot dogs a crispy texture. Able to hold between 10 and 75 hot dogs at once, these hot dog rollers are ideal for display purposes. Customers will be able to see and smell the hot dogs turning on the rollers, thus increasing impulse sales.
First, allow the grill to preheat per manufacturer's instructions. Then, place hot dogs on the roller grill and allow them cook until they reach at least 145 degrees internal temperature. After cooking, hot dogs can be served immediately or held in a warmer drawer. A commercial hot dog roller grill has heated, motorized wheels that rotate hot dogs while cooking them. By rolling hot dogs during cooking these grills ensure hot dogs are cooked evenly. Roller grills can be used for cooking bratwurst, breakfast sausages, and egg rolls too!
Smaller capacity grills are perfect for convenience stores and concession stands whereas high capacity roller grills are better for large commercial establishments with fast turnover. Larger capacity grills often have multiple cooking zones to allow for an area for cooking and another for holding hot dogs.

Whether you're operating a small concession stand, need a self-serve station in your convenience store, or are serving hundreds of hungry customers at a stadium, our hot dog bun warmers and hot dog bun cabinets make sure you've got the right amount of warm and soft buns to accommodate your delicious hot dogs.
Warmers and cabinets are meant to work in conjunction with roller machines. Check the dimensions of your roller grill to make sure you'll have adequate space on top of or next to your bun warmer. This way you'll always be ready to pair your hot dogs with warm, soft buns.
Hot dog bun warmers have temperature controls which allow you to set and hold buns at the perfect serving temperature for extended periods of time. Additionally, warmers are available in dry or moist heat options.
Hot dog bun cabinets are much simpler than warmers and do not have any electrical components or temperature controls. One of their main advantages is that they don't use electricity and therefore are one less piece of equipment drawing amperage from electrical circuits. Hot dog bun cabinets should be used when holding buns for shorter periods of time as they won't hold temperature for as long as warmers.

Types of Hot Dogs
During the Great Depression, the hot dog emerged as a quintessential American food, symbolizing convenience, affordability, and a taste of tradition all in one bite. President Franklin D. Roosevelt served this humble yet beloved sausage sandwich at the White House to the visiting King of England, George VI. This iconic moment solidified the hot dog's place in American culinary history. Not only is it a storied food, but with the rise of inflation and economic uncertainty, the hot dog is making a resurgence. Like the different types of American BBQ , hot dogs are diverse. There are countless regional variations of the hot dog, with different parts of the country building a unique dish on the base of sausage and bun. Shop All Hot Dogs Click b
