Nostalgia Extra Large Diner-Style Steamer, 20 Hot Dogs and 6 Bun Capacity, Perfect for Breakfast Sausages, Brats, Vegetables, Fish, Aqua

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.

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!

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.

Oh my gosh! What did I ever do without this? This are 5 parts to this. The base, which is the heating part holds a small amount of water. About half of a cup or a little more. There is a small disc that is the waters heating element. Then the drawer. This holds a lot of hot dogs. The long ones would have to be turned sideways. Above the hot dogs is a rack to warm your buns on. I have to admit, I don't think there is that much room for buns, by the time I would put the lid on the lid wouldn't stay on securely. Everything is of plastic. The sign on the lid you have to put on yourself. I adore the bright yellow and red colors. The size is compact but mighty. They are stickers. Now, why I like this so very much is, it doesn't take long. Thin or fat hotdogs. I have even tried a Keilbasa in this. It didnt take long to cook. The best I ever had! This is a great buy. Great little cute gift for someone in college or newlyweds. So quick and easy to clean up. Great buy!

Works really well makes a very good dog. Great for party's

Been looking for a reasonably priced hot dog steamer and this one completely fits the bill. You get that quality hot dog cart vendor taste from this steamer right in your own kitchen anytime you’re in the mood for one! This was simple to setup and get started. On my trial run I put the water in the base and turned the steamer on high for about 15 minutes before placing just 2 bun length all beef hotdogs in the tray. (There is plenty of room for many more dogs) It only took about 5 minutes for the dogs to cook then I put 2 buns in the top compartment for only about 30 seconds to 1 minute and they came out perfectly soft and steamy without being soggy or wet. With that being said, be mindful of a lot of condensation that collects on the underside of the lid when removing it because the water can drip on your buns if you’re not careful. The only water that was present on the countertop when finished was condensation from opening and closing the hotdog compartment tray. Likewise, it was a breeze to take apart and clean when finished. The owners manual recommends to only wash this by hand and not in the dishwasher. The base of the steamer where the hot plate is housed must be wiped clean and never submerged in water while cleaning. The steamer and the handles are made entirely of plastic (even though the handles appear to be chrome, they are plastic) which feels a little cheap and flimsy however I’m sure that if it’s not abused it should hold up. There is a slight plastic/new appliance smell to it right out of the box but after I washed it in warm soapy water and used it the first time the smell seemed to dissipate. It did not have any adverse effect on the taste of the food. I placed a ruler in the photos to show approximate dimensions of the steamer. Very happy with this purchase and hope it lasts for many years.

Awesome product Used it several times always a great steamed hot dog. Very pleased

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!

Buen producto

Es muy buen producto sirve mucho y calienta Super bien los productos que le pongas sólo no tiene temporizador pero no importa

Tenía mis dudas porque pensé que parecía de juguete y que probablemente no sería práctica para una reunión pero quedé sorprendida, Nostalgia es garantía, yo la compré para una reunión de jóvenes para ver el fútbol y resultó fácil de usar. Práctica máquina para hacer hot dogs, solo se llena la bandeja con agua, se ponen las salchichas y el pan en sus respectivas charolas, se enciende y se dejan ahí por un periodo de 15 minutos aproximadamente y están listos. Los panes quedan suavecitos y las salchichas quedan tipo carrito profesional. Solo hay que cuidar que el agua mantenga su nivel y puedes seguir utilizando la máquina para seguir haciendo más hot dogs. Lo único que puedo decir y no es problema para nada es la limpieza después de su uso, hay que quitarle toda el agua que queda pero nada que nos quite mucho tiempo. Yo le pongo un 10!

Ótimo produto , testado e aprovado recomendo
