Nostalgia Oscar Mayer Diner-Style Hot Dog Steamer and Bun Warmer, 8 Hot Dog and 4 Bun Capacity, Steam Bratwursts, Sausages, Vegetables, Fish, Dumplings, Yellow

I bought this on a whim for my two young daughters to "help make dinner". It is an extremely easy set up. Filtered water goes into the bottom most tray just below the MAX line, then hot dogs or polish sausages in the next tray, followed by your choice of bun in the final tray. You simply plug in and set the turn knob to "High". Fifteen minutes later you have a meal any stadium would be proud to serve. It's simple and easy to clean up. So far we have tried various hot dog brands as well as the larger Polish sausages. I'd have to say the Polish sausages with a sweet (Hawaiian bread or simply Sweet) hot dog bun our the favorite. You don't even need mustard or any other condiment to accompany these dogs. They are perfect from tray to bun to mouth as is. I am VERY impressed at the simplicity and taste. This is a wonderful family appliance and makes dinners cheap and readily available. I'd go so far as to say a MUST for every family home.

Easiest and best way to cook Hot Dogs, steam buns. They absolutely taste amazing, I prepared 64 hot dogs for an event in a matter of an hour. I love this product.

Okay, it's cute with the pepper shaped handles and all, but it works great. It is easy to clean and I think the upper space is great. The space is big enough to hold a good sized dish making it easy to heat the tamales and some chili or other sauce all at one time. It has earned my approval even the pepper shaped handles.

This is a steamer. Doesn't need to just be for hotdogs. Put in corn cobs, broccoli, and such, but it does hold and cook up to 20 hotdogs at once. Can make the buns wet so would need to pay attention and careful how you take off the lid as it will be wet (it's a steamer lol) I used this at every party this year. Good to have on hand. Definitely need a roller since my guys prefer pan fried dogs.

Very easy to carry and use. This hot dog machine heats the buns and steams the hot dogs perfectly. We used it for my daughter’s birthday party and for another activity, and it worked great. The color is beautiful too. Highly recommend!

It works! I thought it would be more of a fun gadget but it heated the hotdogs up perfectly and warmed the buns with steam. Fun AND efficient way to serve them instead of using a grill.

I can prepare a snack at any time without disturbing or breaking any rules of the kitchen. My latest addition to my man-cave along with such necessities as a coffee maker, heated water pitcher for soup and ramen, pop-corn popper, and omelet iron, is the Oscar Mayer Hot Dog Steamer, and even though it looks like a toy I would give my great grand kids, it really works perfectly for me! Easy to assemble it is sealed to prevent any water from dripping out while under operation. I only used enough water to fill the heating chamber halfway up, and placed four hotdogs into the drawer. In ten minutes, the dogs were hot so I pulled one and left the others to continue steaming. The entire unit was hot and steamy on the inside, but the outside was only warm to the touch and completely dry. After 15 minutes the remaining hot dogs were dark brown and had the familiar look and aroma of fully cooked hotdogs, and they were delicious. I prefer having a hot dog wrap, so there is enough room in the bun warmer to fold over a burrito size flour tortilla and warm it up just before loading it up with all your favorite condiments. Clean up is almost nil with just a rinsing being necessary, and it stores away easily on a shelf. I had such good success with hotdogs, I may try steaming some corn on the cob, or maybe even some bratwurst next. Bon Appetit!

Works really well to heat up tamales and hotdogs
