The way that HD inspector’s comment came about-
I was using a probe to check the temp of dogs in my steamer as the lady from HD was printing out my inspection report. She said you don’t really have to bring the dogs up to any special temp because they are precooked,  you could serve them cold. I replied, this isn’t for the HD, this is for my customers. She said she could understand that.

Maybe HD was testing your knowledge.

I think you’re on to something! Maybe a pzed (partial zero emissions dog) for the environmentally friendly crowd. You can claim no carbon emissions from heating the dog.

i’m not sure about this…the Green Weenie!

 
Get a green weenie at Gene’s Dogs………… has a ring to it, but still…………

that would sure cut down on propane!

 
And customers!
 
 
Probably safer to serve them at 40F out of the package than held at 100F for a few hours………

 

Serve it chilled on the bun and call it an eskimo dog or a penguin dog.   LOL    DD

A Frozen dog might work this week since its like 100 degrees outside.

you could put a stick in it like a corndog….a Dogsicle!

It might melt! 

It’s 88.5F here in NM… I do believe it’s considered a dessert here. [8D]

Maybe a “push up” type frozen dog.  LOL  

That’s pretty cool up there Lorna.  Have you had a lot of rain up there?  The clouds keep teasing us but no rain.  It falls all around us.    DD

Yup – My LHD says to hold dogs at 135F for a maximum of 4 hours.

Different areas will have different rules.

I keep ’em at 140-150F even though 135F is the low limit because of that reason.

Next town over is 145F indefinite holding. While it might be safe to eat, I’d hate to eat a dog that was held for 12 hours!

As we all know from various stories in here that not all HD and local officials know what they are talking about.  135 F is within the danger zone for some bacteria…
