In at least one embodiment, the hot dog slicer includes a second blade extending inward from the inner surface of the tubular body opposite the first blade sufficient for the hot dog to be double butterflied by passing the hot dog through the lumen of the tubular body, wherein at least one of the first and second blades extends inward between about 0.75 inches and about 0.97 inches. In at least one embodiment, the tubular body has a cylindrical shape having a lumen with a radius of about 0.5 to about 0.75 inches. In at least one embodiment, the tubular body has a cylindrical shape having a front to rear length of about 1.25 to about 1.5 inches. ![]() In at least one embodiment, the tubular body has a cylindrical shape having a diameter of about 1.25 to about 1.5 inches. In at least one embodiment, the lumen of the tubular structure is dimensioned to accept standard commercial hot dogs. In at least one embodiment, the tubular body has a cylindrical shape. In at least one embodiment, each of the blades has a planer portion and wherein the planer portions are parallel to each other. In at least one embodiment, the hot dog slicer includes a second blade extending inward from the inner surface of the tubular body opposite the first blade sufficient for the hot dog to be double butterflied by passing the hot dog through the lumen of the tubular body. In at least one embodiment, a hot dog slicer is provided that includes a tubular body having a lumen defined by an inner surface of the tubular body between front and rear openings therein, and at least a first blade extending inward from the inner surface of the tubular body sufficiently for a hot dog to be butterfly by passing the hot dog through the lumen of the tubular body. Thus, there remains a need for a hot dog slicer that is safe, easy to use, produces a butterfly cut and systematically slices a hot dog to be expandable, unfolded out into a flat position, for use on a plate, sliced bread, French bread, hoagie roll or a hamburger bun. And the knife will probably slice all the way through the dog. If you use a knife, you are in all likelihood just going to slice the hot dog lengthwise into 2 folds or pieces, not 3. Also, it is just about impossible to make the Z cut on a hot dog with a knife. ![]() The typical way for butterflying a hot dog is to use a knife, but this requires skill and may be hazardous to the unwary operator. Particularly for those who prefer there hot dog well done butterflying can get the insides cooked through without charring the outside. A second effect is that it allows a hot dog to cook more evenly. The idea is to restructure to a thinner section for faster cooking and alleviating bursting or blistering. In meat preparation a butterfly cut is a lengthwise cut without separating the meet. Typically, these devices do not reconfigure the hot dogs cylinder shape into an expandable flat food and thus eliminate rolling off the plate or a need for a special bun.īutterfly cutting (“butterflying”) a hot dog is another form of meat preparation. Often times these devices have sharp blades, which are hazardous to the unwary operator. Until now such devices for slicing hot dogs segment a hot dog into pieces of various sizes and shapes in an attempt to improve handling. To further improve handling or to create a novel eating experience, throughout its history, the hot dog has been cut in sections, sliced diagonally and sliced length wise by various devices created specifically for hot dog cutting purposes. To make the hot dog cylinder shape easier to handle, the hot dog bun was invented. Because of its geometry this food is subject to roll off a plate. Hot dogs are prepared and served in a multitude of ways, such as by itself, on a stick or on a bun.Ī hot dog is configured in the form of a cylinder. ![]() ![]() Today, the hot dog has also become a main stay food bought in grocery stores and served daily in millions of homes across America. The hot dog is a type of sausage or wiener sandwich which was culturally imported from Germany and which became popular in the United States first as a street food, sold at stands and carts, and later at sporting events. The present application relates to food slicers and more particularly slicers for cutting hot dog and/or sausages.
