How to Cook Hoffy Natural Casing Franks

Stove Top

  1. Add water to a skillet or frying pan. Cover the surface with half an inch of water.
  2. Turn the heat on medium-high. Heat the pan until the water starts to boil off.
  3. Remove Hoffy Franks from package and gently add the to the pan. Be sure to not overcrowd, you need room to roll the franks.
  4. Roll the franks. Roll the Hoffy Franks frequently to get them browned on all sides.
  5. Remove with tongs or fork, add your favorite toppings and serve.
    Hoffy Hints: For that ballpark taste,  swap out half the water for beer!

Grill

  1. Turn on your grill. Heat one side of the grill to medium heat and the other side medium-high to high heat. If you have a charcoal grill, stack more coals on one side. If you have a gas grill, adjust the knob settings accordingly.
  2. Remove Hoffy Franks from package.
  3. Using barbeque tongs, cook the Hoffy Franks on the cooler side of the grill about one minute each side so that they can heat through without burning.
  4. Move the hot dogs to the hot side of the grill. And give them a final quick char, and those great looking grill lines.
  5. Serve. Using tongs, take your hot dogs off the grill, dress them up your way and dig in!

Oven

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Remove Hoffy Franks from package and place in a rimmed pan or tray.  Line the pan with foil for extra easy cleanup.
  3. Cook for 15 minutes. Keep an eye on your franks. You’ll know they’re done when you see them begin to brown and curl just a bit.
  4. Serve. Use a potholder to remove the pan from the oven, add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

    1. Hello Alice! Sadly, our franks are only distributed in the West Coast area. Hope you visit soon so that you can enjoy a Hoffy!

  1. Great frank (dog) with a snap. For the price you can’t get better and will hold it’s own or better against any of those pricier ones.

      1. Hello Tina,
        Yes, these Natural Casing Franks are fabulous … but sadly, only available in the Western States. If you come to Southern California for a visit, you can try them at the famous Pink’s Hot Dgo Stand, or Angels Stadium or many other places (and of course, we locals buy them at the grocery and grill them ourselves).

        1. I live on the West coast (California) and I’ve been searching for these dogs with the natural casing for years and still can’t find a single Grocer that sells them, Why????

          1. Hello Eric,

            We wish our Natural Casing Franks were available everywhere! They are the best. Have you tried using our store locator search? Here’s the link: https://hoffybrand.com/find-hoffy/ You enter your zip code and the locator will tell you who carries the product. Also, we are avaiable through Instacart (of course dependent upon your location). Hope this helps.

    1. Hello Frank:
      You too???, you cant find these awesome dogs either?, I live in Palm Springs and have been searching for these dogs for years “Literally” and still can’t find them. Back in the 80’s there was a little italian deli/sub sandwich shop in Montclair, Ca called “Chicago Dogs” this little Family owned shop sold the best Chicago Dogs I’ve ever had, with the Poppy seed kaiser roll, green relish, tomato chunks, onion chunks, yellow pepper with lots of Mustard, I would eat a half dozen of those snappy dogs at lunch time. Sadly they went out of business and have yet to find a Chicago dog that comes close to it, very dissapointing.
      Good luck on your search!!!

    1. Hello Yousef, We use the traditional sheep casing for our Hollywood’s Original Natural Casing Beef Franks. No pork.

  2. Hello Tina,

    1. What grocery store have you found that sells these natural casing “Snappy” hot dogs at???, I’ve been looking for YEARS and have yet to find a grocery store on the West coast that sells them.

  3. I live in Carson City, NV & one day I “accidentally” picked up a package of Hoffy Hot Dogs. WOW!! I was born & raised in NYC & we know our hot dogs. They are right up there with the stands in NY. When I moved to So CA, I ate several times at Pink’s in L.A. I felt as if I were back in NY.
    They are they best I have had in many years. Now if I cannot find your product, I do not purchase any other hot dogs.
    P.S. I am not a person who likes too much salt, & Hoffy unlike others. does not not kill the taste with too much salt!!
