*To steam hot dogs:
**Steaming hot dog buns makes them soft, warm, and pliable.
- Add an inch or two of water to a pot, and bring it to a boil.
- Place the hot dogs in a steamer basket or on a rack (without water touching) and steam, partially covered, for 5-7 minutes until heated through.
**Steaming hot dog buns makes them soft, warm, and pliable.
- Prepare a steamer: Fill a pot or steamer with a couple of inches of water and bring it to a simmer.
- Wrap the buns: Wrap the hot dog buns loosely in aluminum foil, making sure they are sealed but leaving a bit of space inside for steam circulation.
- Steam the buns: Place the wrapped buns in the steamer basket or directly on the steaming tray, ensuring they are not tightly packed. Put the lid on the pot or cover the steamer.
- Steam for a few minutes: Steam the buns for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are heated through and soft.
- Remove and serve: Carefully remove the steamed buns from the steamer using tongs or a fork. Unwrap them from the foil and serve immediately.
