Let me know what you think if you do try it, Malaina. I neglected to mention that when you cook them with the cut-side down, besides the aroma of grilled hotdog, you can tell they are done on that side because they will feel a little crusty. When you turn them over so the skin-side is down, you won't feel a crustiness to the skin, oddly enough. You just need to watch and make sure it doesn't cook too long, or the hotdog will start to shrivel.
I think I erred in the timing of the cut-side down; I believe it's about two minutes. Here's another way of serving hotdogs: Instead of on buns or bread with condiments, heat a corn tortilla. After cooking the hotdog, place it on the tortilla, top with cheese, roll up the tortilla; place on a paper plate and warm in the microwave about forty to fifty seconds to let the cheese melt. WARNING: The cheese oozes out onto the plate. That's what chips are for! Scoop up some cheese on tortilla chips, or whatever your favorite chip is.
