Nostalgia 2 Slot Hot Dog and Bun Toaster with Mini Tongs, Retro Toaster, Cooker that Works Chicken, Turkey, Veggie Links, Sausages Brats, Metallic Red

Super producto me encantó

Fun little machine. Cuts down on time and dishes. But it needs to be perfected so that both buns and wieners are well cooked . There is a shield between the heating element and the bun section that make them cook slower than the hot dogs but the buns still end up charred on the edges . I tried lowering the heat setting but the edges of the buns still charred because even when you use the smallest buns (the ones normally used for steamed hot dogs), some of the edges still rest on the elements. Moreover, when I lower the heat, the wieners are not cooked enough. I have to place the machine on the highest heat settings to properly cooked them.

Buena calidad, calienta bien aunque no a profundidad ya que no es por vapor sino por resistencia eléctrica, el pan queda quemadito por la orilla pero si saca de apuros y evita el uso del microondas y eso es excelente

Great little toaster. This really does a great job of grilling the hot dogs, and depending on what heat setting you use (a knob goes from 1-5), you can get them browned or even blackened like you would if you had them over a bonfire or put them on a grill. It has a nice compact design, a basket in the middle holds the hot dogs, easy to pull out so you can wash it afterwards. There is a tray that slides out of the bottom, like most toasters, and you can wash that as well. It seems like a decent amount of juice from the hot dogs will get trapped down there as well as crumbs from the buns.I think it's a pretty great product overall. I have used it for about a week now, several times, have experienced no issues so far. It works better if you put it on a lower setting, put the hot dogs and buns in together at first- maybe a 3 setting...let it cook, then take out the bun, should be toasted by that point, then crank it up to 5 and cook the hot dogs alone. I like them literally black in parts. What happens is the hot dog tends to plump up, curves a bit closer to the heating element (it literally is the same sort of heating element in a regular toaster), and that tends to get areas of the hot dog browned/blackened. Works really well. I usually get a bit of smoke as the oil drops into the pan below and the hot dog curves toward the heating element, but it's easy enough to clean up, and it's way more convenient than waiting for water to boil, cooking, emptying the water, cleaning the pan...and much better tasting than using the microwave to cook them.Some have mentioned issues with ballpark franks or hot dogs that plump up getting stuck in basket. I have not had that issue at all. It comes with a set of metal tongs which you will definitely need to take them out of the basket as it will get super hot after cooking. I used angus beef franks from ball park, they seemed to plump up as normal, did not get stuck in the basket at all.The design is very retro. Just a button to stop the cooking, a thing to press like on any toaster to push the racks down inside the heating element, and a dial that goes from 1 to 5 for temperature control. It's pretty neat looking overall. I did notice the first two times, it did smoke. The label on the top of the unit says this, and I just ran it twice with nothing in it, and it smoked...has not done the same since. You get a burning plastic smell the first two times as well, but I see no damage to the unit inside or out or any melted plastic. I did notice that the buns will blacken where they hit the metal near the heating element, and honestly I don't know how you would clean out the burnt bread from that part. I used a wet towel and paper towels, no luck. There's a little black residue from where the buns hit the wall, but it's not that big of a deal I don't figure, and it does not effect any future buns or how they cook or taste. Unit does a good job of toasting the buns throughout, and depending on how long you keep them in there, it will, as mentioned, turn them brown or black on the outer edges that push into the metal inside the unit.A really fun product, very convenient if you eat hot dogs often enough. I would not try anything larger than your average plumped up beef frank. No brats or anything, as they would surely get caught in the basket and rip apart. The basket, I should mention, isn't the easiest thing to clean either, so some residue, I think, will stay on there for a long while. Nothing gross or anything, just some slight grease, even if you scrub it with something abrasive. Love the unit so far and would totally recommend.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas, and then for my dad for his birthday. They both love it. We have used it to quickly make hot dogs for dinner. The buns burn if you leave them too long, and you usually need to cook the hot dogs a couple times through to get them completely hot. Neither of them mind that though really, and I don't either since the maker is not expensive. A fun yet practical gift that works.
