Do you cook a hot dog in oven?

You can cook a hot dog in the oven, but it's not the most common or efficient way. Here's why:

* Overcooking: Hot dogs are small and can easily become dry and rubbery in the oven.

* Uneven Heating: It's tricky to get a perfectly cooked hot dog with a crispy casing and a juicy center in the oven.

* Easier Alternatives: Grilling, boiling, or pan-frying are all quicker and often lead to better results for hot dogs.

If you're set on using the oven:

1. Preheat to 350°F (175°C).

2. Place hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.

4. Flip the hot dogs halfway through for even cooking.

However, you'll likely get a better result using other methods.
