    How can I tell if the hot dog is cooked or not when I remove it from the microwave?
    Community Answer
    Commercial hot dogs come pre-cooked, so the goal is to heat it through rather than cook it. Try poking the tip of a chef's knife into the middle of one of the dogs and touching it with your finger. If it's hot, chow down.
