Franks in the Microwave

  1. Prep your frank. Remove from package. Wrap in a paper towel and place directly in the microwave or put the hot dog on a plate and cover it with a paper towel. Cooking more than one? Lay them side by side on a plate and cover them all with a paper towel. Just make sure to leave a little space in between so they cook evenly.
    Hoffy Hints: Don’t poke holes in your frank! Piercing lets the delicious juices escape and your dog dries out.
  2. Cook on high. Start at 20 or 30 seconds for one frank. Add 10 to 15 seconds for each additional frank.
  3. Check in. When time is up, check to see if they’re warmed up all the way through. If not, microwave them another 10 seconds and test one again.
  4. Carefully remove your frank using tongs.  Trapped steam can burn.
  5. Serve. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
