So, what's happening when you boil hotdogs? Well, the heat from the water is denaturing the proteins in the hotdog, making them tender and juicy. It's like a little science experiment in your pot! The longer you boil them, the more cooked they'll become, but be careful not to overcook them, or they'll be mushy and gross.
Now, let's talk about time. Like we said earlier, the general rule is to boil hotdogs for 5-7 minutes. But, if you like your hotdogs extra cooked, you can boil them for up to 10 minutes. Just keep an eye on them, or they'll be overcooked in no time. And, if you're using thicker hotdogs, you may need to add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
