Hot dogs are a type of processed meat that is usually made from beef, pork, or chicken. The meats are ground up and then mixed with spices and other ingredients before being formed into the familiar hot dog shape. Hot dogs are typically cooked by grilling, frying, or boiling.<\/p>\n \n
Most people would probably say that hot dogs are cooked, since they’re usually sold pre-cooked at the store. However, technically speaking, hot dogs are raw – they just happen to be precooked so that they’re safe to eat without further cooking.\n\nThis is because hot dogs are made from ground meat, which is considered raw.
The grinding process actually helps to cook the meat somewhat, but it’s still technically raw. So if you were to grind your own hot dog meat at home, you would need to cook it before eating it.\n\nOf course, store-bought hot dogs have been cooked already, so you don’t need to worry about that.
Just pop them in the microwave or on the grill and enjoy!<\/p>\n \n
