Critical Success Points

  • Assemble the Hot Dogs: Packing cheese firmly and using sturdy buns is essential for a good crust and to prevent breakage.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot cheese can cause burns; let cool slightly before eating.
  • Use caution when grating cheese to avoid injury.
  • Be careful of splattering fat when cooking hot dogs.
