Set the microwave to its âdefrost,â âlowâ or Power 3 setting. Microwave in 30-second increments to thaw a frozen hot dog. Set the microwave timer for 15 to 20 seconds at high power, using the lesser time for high-wattage microwaves. For jumbo hot dogs, start with a cook time of 25 to 30 seconds. Microwave in additional increments of 5 to 10 seconds, if needed, until the hot dog is heated through and steaming. This gradual cooking process reduces the chance of an overheated hot dog exploding in the microwave.
Place 1 to 4 hot dogs on a paper plate or a microwave-safe dish with a paper towel. (If you are cooking more than 4 hot dogs, do it in stages.). With the tip of a sharp knife, pierce the hot dog three times; on one end, in the middle, and on the other end. You only need to break the skin.emove the hot dogs from the microwave. Wrap the bun in a paper towel and zap it for about 15 seconds. You only want to warm the bun. If you over cook the bun in the microwave it will get very hard and chewy as it cools.
