how long to bake frozen hot dogs in oven

To bake frozen hot dogs in the oven, follow these steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the frozen hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some space between each hot dog.
3. Bake for 10-15 minutes for standard-sized hot dogs. You may need to adjust the time based on the size of your hot dogs.

Here’s a general guideline:

– Small hot dogs (e.g., mini or cocktail hot dogs): 5-7 minutes
– Standard-sized hot dogs: 10-15 minutes
– Large or jumbo hot dogs: 15-20 minutes

Keep an eye on the hot dogs during the baking time, as they can quickly go from perfectly cooked to overcooked. You can also rotate the hot dogs halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.

When the hot dogs are cooked through, they should be hot and slightly browned on the outside. You can check for doneness by cutting into one of the hot dogs; it should be steaming hot and cooked to your liking.

Remember to always follow safe food handling practices when handling and cooking frozen hot dogs. Make sure to wash your hands before and after handling the hot dogs, and cook them to an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C) to prevent foodborne illness.
