Hey y’all! GOODe Ole Boy here!
A while back we showed y’all how easy it is to cook up a big batch of hot dogs using your crock pot. In just a couple hours you had enough hot dogs to feed an entire baseball team (or two to three GOODe Ole Boys on a Sunday afternoon…) Well, now I’m here to show you that you can do the same thing in your electric pressure cooker in mere minutes. Yep, that wasn’t a typo… I said MINUTES!

The magic happens by the way the pressure cooker heats up. It’ll take 15 minutes to get up to temperature, then it holds that temperature for the 1 minute you programmed in. Then you hit the quick release to let out all the pressure and your dogs are done! I highly recommend NOT cooking your hot dogs under pressure for much more than that one minute. We initially did a batch and cooked them for 5 minutes under high pressure. Let’s just say that they were so soft that you could cut them with a wet feather…

Trick I learned from my uncle was to add to the water some beer, butter, and onions when cooking hot dogs on a stove or in a steam table. Would the beer mess up the pressure cooker?
Do you use a steamer basket or a sling in order to prevent the bottom hotdogs being in the water? I cook for a daycare and have to make 50 dogs…. I do have the 8 qt quickpot
Hi Melissa-
We didn’t, but that is a great idea.It will also make getting them out of the pot without burning yourself a lot easier. Enjoy!
