If you cook hotdog weiners & take them with you for lunch, are they supposed to stay HOT at ALL times?!


Question: If you cook hotdog weiners & take them with you for lunch, are they supposed to stay HOT at ALL times!?
Or do you think they can be cooled down for an hour, before eating, & not do any harm!? I have a Dr!.'s appt!. today, & it's the most convenient thing to do because I don't have much money to buy any fast food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
The meat in a hot dog is precooked and there is enough preservatives in them to choke a cow so no you don't need to worry about eating a warm dog, just make sure you don't allow it to sit out too long, (like say more then two/three hours, wouldn't try it after that), however, you can put it in a lunch box that has a place to keep an ice pack or some other method of keeping it cool, it is better to eat a cold dog then taking the chance!.
IF YOU PUT CONDIMENTS ON THEM THEY WILL SPOIL SO BE CAREFUL NOT TO UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO EAT IT AT THAT TIME!.

Wish you the best at the doctors!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hotdogs are already cooked when you buy them at the store!. You are merely heating them up before you eat them so that they are more palatable!. They do not have to be kept hot!. It would be a good idea not to leave the hotdogs in the sun or a hot car!. If possible, carry them in an insulated bag at least carry them with you when you go to your appt!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well!.!.!.!. rule of thumb is
Hot food should stay HOT
Cold food should stay COLD
well, i have saved a hotdog and ate it like 2 hours later, but i knew that my stomach could take it!.
some people dont have strong digestive systems that could take it!.!.
so i think it depends on you!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Most hot dogs have so much nitrites and other preservatives in them that you could probably leave it out for a couple days and still be safe!! BUT DON'T DO THAT!!!

It should be fine for an hour or so!.

Stay healthy!!

Have you ever tried nuts and fresh fruit!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

They're like bologna!. Fully cooked already!. So cooking then cooling only makes them shrivel!. It'll be fine as long as there is no condiment on them that needs constant refrigeration!.

BTW, "raw" hot dogs is a misnomer!. They're simply "uncooked" or "unheated" but defintiely not truly raw!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if you cook it first it will be fine!. just make sure its stays cool in a cooler!. my grandma eats raw dogs all the time!. I think they are better warm but they will be fine cold too!.!.!.nothing different than lunch meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hot dogs have so many preservatives in them!. You can eat them just fine!. People eat raw ones all the time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They can cool down; you can even put them in the fridge after cooking them and then reheat themWww@FoodAQ@Com

They are loaded with preservatives they should be OK for an hour or two but if you put them in a lunch bucket with a coolie pack that would be betterWww@FoodAQ@Com

You'll be fine even if you don't cook the weiner!. In the US (where I'm assuming you're from), almost all weiners and hot dogs are sold pre-cooked!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it's fine!. I had a picnic with my daughter and the hot dogs were wrapped in foil and still semi warm 4 hours later and did not affect us at allWww@FoodAQ@Com

lol relax their not that hotWww@FoodAQ@Com

you'll be fineWww@FoodAQ@Com
