Apuro’s hot dog warmer – A counter-top Essential

Hot dogs are a perennial favourite – a simple takeaway item that’s easy to prepare and with the addition of imaginative toppings, can quickly become a value-added house special. All that’s needed to get started is a good quality hot dog warmer, a supply of tasty baguettes or buns and of course some yummy hot dog sausages.

Apuro has added the Ital Hot Dog Warmer to its product portfolio. These Hot Dog Warmers not only keep the hot dogs hot but also keep the buns warm, ready for serving. They are essential pieces of equipment for anywhere wanting to serve hot dogs as a menu option.

The Hot Dog Warmers have a pyrex container for steaming up to 30 hot dogs. A stainless steel basket holds the hot dogs so they can be safely lowered into the steamer. Depending on the model there are either three or four anodised aluminium bun warmers alongside the steamer.

With a power of 875 Watts, the Hot Dog Warmers run from a standard electrical supply, and to ensure operator safety the electrical components are housed in a liquid-proof sealed unit. Measuring only 365 x 450 x 320mm and with a stylish stainless steel finish, the Hot Dog Warmers look good as a front-of-house display item.

To get the best from the Hot Dog Warmer Apuro suggests trying different types of German or Polish sausages, served in hollowed out warmed baguettes, or the following special hot dog recipes:

Traditional Dog: Sliced fried or steamed onions, mustard and ketchup.
Loaded Chicago Dog: Mustard, green relish, onions, tomato slices.
Coney Island Dog: Chilli sauce, sliced onion and mustard.
Cheesy Dog: Sliced cheese, onion, mustard and ketchup.
Mexican Dog: Guacamole and refried beans.
