NostalgiaExtra Large Diner-Style Coca-Cola Hot Dog Steamer and Bun Warmer, 24 Hot Dog and 12 Bun Capacity, Steam Bratwursts, Sausages, Vegetables, Fish, Dumplings, Red

I can prepare a snack at any time without disturbing or breaking any rules of the kitchen. My latest addition to my man-cave along with such necessities as a coffee maker, heated water pitcher for soup and ramen, pop-corn popper, and omelet iron, is the Oscar Mayer Hot Dog Steamer, and even though it looks like a toy I would give my great grand kids, it really works perfectly for me!Easy to assemble it is sealed to prevent any water from dripping out while under operation. I only used enough water to fill the heating chamber halfway up, and placed four hotdogs into the drawer. In ten minutes, the dogs were hot so I pulled one and left the others to continue steaming. The entire unit was hot and steamy on the inside, but the outside was only warm to the touch and completely dry. After 15 minutes the remaining hot dogs were dark brown and had the familiar look and aroma of fully cooked hotdogs, and they were delicious.I prefer having a hot dog wrap, so there is enough room in the bun warmer to fold over a burrito size flour tortilla and warm it up just before loading it up with all your favorite condiments.Clean up is almost nil with just a rinsing being necessary, and it stores away easily on a shelf.I had such good success with hotdogs, I may try steaming some corn on the cob, or maybe even some bratwurst next.Bon Appetit!

Love this gaget! I don't recommend using high, as it will explode your hot dogs if you don't plan on eating them right away. In other words, it gets hot, fast! Place hot dogs and buns inside, turn on high till it heats up, then turn down to warm, if you plan to eat a short while later. Love the steamy buns that come out of this and the retro nostalgic blue design is so cute! I used it for a get together and everyone loved the look and functionality of it. I use it a lot and is one of my favorite purchases.

I love this it works great and the buns I keep in my refrigerator until I can use them so they are kinda dry, but when you put them in here to keep warm while it steams the hotdogs or brats whatever the buns come out sooo soft and have the best flavor. I definitely recommend this.

I love this for the ease of use and the nostalgia. Works well with tamales as well as bratwurst and hot dogs. About the size of a 2 slice toaster. Upper pieces could be made from a heavier or more sturdy material tho

Friend had one for a small party and while I laughed at it at first because it looks a little janky, it worked so well that I bought one for myself. Great for setting up a hot dog bar for parties, since this keeps everything hot and people can just make their own hotdog whenever.

Been looking for a reasonably priced hot dog steamer and this one completely fits the bill. You get that quality hot dog cart vendor taste from this steamer right in your own kitchen anytime you’re in the mood for one!This was simple to setup and get started. On my trial run I put the water in the base and turned the steamer on high for about 15 minutes before placing just 2 bun length all beef hotdogs in the tray. (There is plenty of room for many more dogs) It only took about 5 minutes for the dogs to cook then I put 2 buns in the top compartment for only about 30 seconds to 1 minute and they came out perfectly soft and steamy without being soggy or wet. With that being said, be mindful of a lot of condensation that collects on the underside of the lid when removing it because the water can drip on your buns if you’re not careful. The only water that was present on the countertop when finished was condensation from opening and closing the hotdog compartment tray.Likewise, it was a breeze to take apart and clean when finished. The owners manual recommends to only wash this by hand and not in the dishwasher. The base of the steamer where the hot plate is housed must be wiped clean and never submerged in water while cleaning.The steamer and the handles are made entirely of plastic (even though the handles appear to be chrome, they are plastic) which feels a little cheap and flimsy however I’m sure that if it’s not abused it should hold up. There is a slight plastic/new appliance smell to it right out of the box but after I washed it in warm soapy water and used it the first time the smell seemed to dissipate. It did not have any adverse effect on the taste of the food.I placed a ruler in the photos to show approximate dimensions of the steamer.Very happy with this purchase and hope it lasts for many years.

I'm giving 3 stars because this item cannot hold as much as it says in the description. It however cooks the the sausages great and is very easy to use. I with the water reservoir was larger but I still like it.
