Nutritionists Rank The Best And Worst Hot Dogs At The Grocery Store

When it comes to summertime grilling, the stakes are high. The sun is blazing, kids are running wild, everyone is hungry, and all eyes are on you while you tend to an open fire. No big deal, right? While burgers have a reputation for being an easy option to serve when curating a cookout menu, they are incredibly hard to do well, especially at scale. You have hot spots to contend with and flare-ups to manage, knowing that just a couple of minutes separate a perfectly cooked burger from one that looks and tastes more like a hockey puck. That said, in my opinion, the payoff of a perfectly cooked burger is worth the cortisol surge of (wo)manning the grill. One has not experienced true joy until they have nailed a tray of beautifully cooked-medium burgers.

Are hot dogs good for you — and which brands are the healthiest?

Frankly, there's never a bad time for a hot dog. And that means that you should keep a few packs in stock that can be thrown on the grates or roasted around a campfire at a moment's notice. Even if you don't have a way to cook up a few franks outdoors, you can still enjoy a charred brat by using your oven's broiler or air fryer, as long as you monitor the hot dog's progress carefully.

Who doesn’t love a good buffet? With fixed prices and the freedom to pile your plate high with as much food as you want, they can offer great value for your money. Americans with big appetites love the buffet concept, and restaurants often lose money with those folks. On the other hand, light eaters like myself are more the target audience. We pay the set price and hardly eat anything, relatively speaking, resulting in a positive cash flow for the restaurant.

Rotisserie chicken is a fast and easy way to add protein to your meal prep routine. According to the National Chicken Council, broiler chicken is the most widely consumed protein in the U.S. You can add chicken to everything from Caesar salads to frozen pizza to get more protein and make your meals more filling. Rotisserie chicken is flavorful due to the constant turning of the meat, which keeps it moist and tender and prevents the chicken from drying out.

When I was younger, I loved eating corn on the cob solely because it meant using our cute corn-shaped holders. I’ve since gained a more nuanced appreciation for sweet summer corn—it’s easy to prepare, can be added to any number of summer dishes, and needs few (if any!) adornments when eaten at its prime. In fact, I stalked my local farmers market’s Instagram page to know the very first day it was ready for pickup.

One of the best parts of ordering a pizza — besides not having to cook — might actually be a second time in everything that's left over. But if you aren't careful, you could expose yourself to foodborne illness by either not properly storing leftovers or eating them too long after they were cooked. Perishable foods don't last forever, so next time you go to grab a slice of pizza from the fridge or that pizza box you left on the counter, check yourself to make sure it won't make you sick.

Using an air fryer to cook bacon is perfect when you just need a few slices, and want minimal mess to clean up and hands-off cooking. During the summer months I love making air fried bacon to cook up a few pieces for a couple of BLT’s. It’s less babysitting than a skillet, and it’s too hot to turn on the oven for my go-to oven method! With my foil-lined method, there’s also little to no mess to clean up. Just crumple up the foil and go! It works remarkably well for me, creating perfect bacon every time.
