Overview
Take your grilling game to the next level by cutting slits in your frankfurters with the Slot Dog.
A grid of steel blades cuts slots into the surface of your hot dogs without cutting through them.
When you cook the dogs over a flame, they plump up, and the larger surface area allows for more caramelization. The result: a better-browned frank with a unique texture that grips your hot dog toppings. Delish!

The hot dog is many things to many people: budget staple food, picky child's sustenance, and cook-out mainstay. Yet, the popular encased meat is often relegated to a careless boil or an inattentive warm-up in the microwave.
Give the dog its due with the Slot Dog. Before grilling, press your frankfurter into the slotted blade to create micro-incisions on its surface. The added exposed surface area allows your humble hotdog to transform into haute cuisine with a caramelized crust. Yum!
That's a truly winning wiener.
Hot off the press
The Slot Dog is safe and easy to use. With your uncooked hot dog on a flat surface, apply pressure to the red handle of the Slot Dog, ensuring the latticed blades cut into your frank and not your fingers. Then peel the hot dog off the grate and move it to the grill. Once the heat has plumped up and caramelized all those edges, it's time to dress your dog and devour!
Press 'n' peel.
Dressed to the nines
Sure, a slotted hot dog is a gimmick that will entice children. But it's also a simple solution to improve the flavor of the hot dog itself and give nooks for condiments to nestle.
The extra edges expose more hot dog to direct heat, so they'll caramelize, creating a richer flavor with a fuller bite. As the frank cooks, it will balloon out, creating canyons of flavor for you to fill with your favorite toppings. Now that's a hot dog to relish!
Hot dog, that looks good!
Super slicer
The Slot Dog instantly upgrades hot dogs with stainless steel blades capable of scoring into franks up to 10" long. The kitchen tool improves your cookout without adding any time to clean up since the Slot Dog is dishwasher safe. It's a win-win for weiners!
Your new cookout staple.

Question: Will it work with other foods?
