Want to sell the best hot dogs in town? A hot dog roller grill can help you sell large quantities of hot dogs. They're perfect for a large-scale hot dog vendor or even a small shop that sells snacks. Purchasing a grill is easy, but you need to know what to look for in each model.
Some of our best-selling commercial hot dog roller grills have features in common that we think you should know about:
- Capacity. The total number of standard hot dogs that will fit on the grill at one time. Typically, you'll find capacity to be 10 or more. There are some high-end models listed below that can cook up to 50 hot dogs at once.
- Capacity per hour. Every hour, how many hot dogs do you plan on selling? Capacity per hour tells you the maximum number of hot dogs you can expect to cook if you go from one batch to the next with no stops in between.
- Drip pan. A removable drip pan is one of the nice additions to a hot dog roller grill because it allows you to rapidly clean up any messes from the hot dogs. These pans save on cleanup time, which is vital in a high-volume establishment.
- Preheat time. The amount of time the unit takes from a cold start to being ready to cook hot dogs. Most models will have a 10-minute heat up time. The faster the heat up time, the easier it will be to begin cooking once the shop opens up.
- Temperature control. Controlling the temperature is a key feature that allows you to better control how long it takes to cook your hot dogs as well as how they taste.
- Dual zone heating. An option found on high-end models. The dual zone heating is one of the best options if you think that you may be cooking up different types of food at once. Sausages, for example, are one type of food that is easily cooked on one of these grills.
- Non-stick. Sticking means one thing: more cleaning. When parts of the hot dogs or other items you cook on the grill stick to the roller, it means you'll spend a lot of time cleaning the unit. Instead, a non-stick coating may be the better choice. Non-stick coatings allow you to rapidly clean the rollers and are great when you have little time to clean in the middle of cooking large batches of hot dogs.
You'll have a lot of consideration when buying your grill. While there are a lot of great options to choose from when purchasing a hot dog roller grill, we have narrowed down the list for you by listing our top selling models.
We've also linked up our grills section that has quite a few options that didn't make our list.
