Heating and Cooking Procedures for Hot Dog Buns and Hot Dogs
1. Hot dog buns should be steamed in the cardboard package with cellophane wrap intact (sealed) until approx. 15‑20 minutes before serving;
the package should NOT come in direct contact with the metal perforated pan; it is OK to place the package of buns on a white cloth towel.
2. Hot dogs should be immersed in hot water and heated for at least 8‑10 minutes before serving.
3. Bun compartment and hot dog compartment should be closed when not serving product.
4. Temperature of water for hot dogs should be periodically monitored, and dial should be adjusted to maintain water between 160‑180ºF.
5. Water levels in the unit itself as well as in the hot dog compartment should be checked every 2‑3 hours to prevent electrical damage to the
unit or burning of the bottom of the pans; add hot water as needed.
6. When adding additional hot dog buns to the bun compartment, put the new package of buns on the bottom and rotate older buns to front and
close lid.
7. When adding additional hot dogs, transfer the remaining hot dogs to the bun compartment.
Quality Assurance Procedures for All Food Products
1. Hot dog buns should not be used if soggy or hard.
2. Hot dog buns can be reused the following day if properly wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator.
3. Hot dogs should not be served after remaining in hot water for longer than 90 minutes; discoloration of the hot dog is the primary indicator
that they have absorbed too much water and should not be served.
4. Hot dogs can be reused following day if appearance is fine and if product was in water for not more than 30 minutes; hot dogs must be
wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in refrigerator.
5. All condiment containers and dispensers should be wiped and cleaned during operations; containers which are properly filled have the best
appearance; always rotate and transfer older product to container of fresh new product as needed.
6. All condiments should be covered and stored in refrigerator when not being used.
