Here's Why You Should Never Leave Hot Dogs Boiling In Water
BY TALIN VARTANIAN
If you don't have a grill and are boiling hot dogs, be careful not to let them sit in the water too long, as it can ruin the meat.
When hot dogs are left boiling in water, the liquid goes in through the hot dog's skin and pushes out all the chemicals and salt.
All that water intake will also turn hot dogs from perfect to mushy in a matter of minutes, as the increased water can cause the skin of hot dogs to crack and rupture.
Additionally, over-boiled hot dogs result in off-putting gray colors and a bland taste since the hot dogs won't have any salt or preservatives.
