Elite by Americana ECT-542R Retro Pop-Up Hot Dog and Bun Toaster Cooker Machine with Tongs, Heat Veggie Links Kosher Beef Turkey Sausages Bratwurst, 2 Slice, Red

These things are fantastic for cooking hot dogs and sausages. Dont be ridiculous or foolish and try to slam a large, uncooked kielbasa in here, expecting flawless results. Also... cmon dude... dont be toasting your hot dog buns... who does that? Use a normal hotdog or sausage dog like these things were intended to be used for. If you like your dogs crisp and with a bit of blackening (not burnt, you know what I mean), preheat the dogs for 30-60 seconds in your microwave to bring up their internal temperature or just leave them out to get up to room temp for 30 minutes before cooking. They literally cook up like a grilled dog if you do it that way. Binging with babish did a review of these things and just slammed it. He also used a cold sausage that barely fit and crammed two buns in and then cooked it halfway. Like ... cmon lol. It was like one of those old infomercials where the incompetent person fakes not being able to do something properly. Trust me; this product is amazing!

Works well. Buns sometimes got crushed if too thick or large.

Easy to use, really like it. Pros-quickly cook a hot dog and warm up a bun, so much better tasting than a microwave, doesn't take up too much room. Cons - Plastic handle-lever worry that it may not last too long, this was why I didn't give it 5 stars. Highly recommend just not sure about longevity.

this is now the only way I cook my hotdogs. buns usually too big and get burned on edges. my german franks, Hoffman Hotdogs from Syracuse, NY are long so I cook on setting 4 and flip around and cook again, comes out perfect

This is great for a quick hot dog lunch and safe for kids too. 2 hot dogs and buns cooked in no time. Definitely worth it.

I've always found a way to correct problems when buyers complain about an item. NOT THIS ONE however. It does get the hot dogs to a level of adequate but there is nothing I can figure out on toasting the buns. Instead of a shape that keeps the bun sides flat, the bun slots are curved, burning perfect straight lines on the bun edges and not so much as even a color change to the rest of the bun. I did tear the buns apart along the seam but there is still no way that trick helped them stand up straight and FLAT. This unit can only give you the HINT of finished hot dogs. Only someone in a total hurry and one who could care less if even just a tiny hint of a hot dog was sufficient will be ok with this total fail of a unit. UPDATE: tear buns at seam, insert and be certain the buns are flat, after 4 minutes or more pop them up and note the bun halves are 50 per cent toasted across the bun, now flip the bun and insert the non toasted end and the final result will be a full toasted surface of the entire bun. (super pain to do but it does work !

The bun toaster only reaches the outer rims of the buns. The toaster works fine; I often heat my hot dogs twice so that they are done a little more.

Such a fun white elephant gift! Great value for my money, perfect size for counter space! Kids love the toaster! Works well!
