🌭 Cookout Pro Tips
- • Always buy 10-15% extra - better to have leftovers than hangry guests
- • Hot dogs freeze well - unopened packs last 1-2 months frozen
- • Grill time: 5-7 minutes over medium heat, turning occasionally
- • Keep 'em warm: Use a slow cooker on low to hold cooked dogs
- • Bun hack: Toast buns on the grill for 30 seconds - game changer
- • The math will never work: 10-packs of dogs, 8-packs of buns - just accept it
