The Nostalgia Retro Pop-Up Hot Dog toaster is one such magical device. It’s about the same shape and size as a regular toaster with a couple of key differences. Instead of slots that fit a standard piece of bread or bagel half, this toaster has two semicircle-shaped openings that accommodate unfolded hot dog buns and, between them, two round openings that accommodate the wieners themselves. A simple knob on the side lets you adjust the heat level before you press down the lever to start cooking. If you need to stop heating early, there’s a button for that too. The hot dogs fit into a metal cage that’s easily removed from the toaster itself. Like the drip tray at the bottom of the unit, it’s easy to clean. This toaster also comes with tongs for smooth dog to bun transfers. Every product on Fatherly is independently selected by our editors, writers, and experts.
