I don't want to go grill it outside because it is cloudy today.
And boiling it makes it kinda flobby.
Has anyone grilled a hotdog in a bread toaster before? any hints?
Edit 1:
Pan fried following this advice!
I had a delicious meal!!!
Thank you @[email protected]!
The hotdog fits in my frying pan!

I'm not sure what cookware you have, but it sounds like you may be pretty limited on choices/space. I would highly recommend swapping the vertical toaster for a toaster oven. As they are basically little ovens that you can cook almost anything in, including toast and hotdogs.
I do have to consider a toaster oven, they are far more convenient compared to my full sized oven.
Wait. You can boil water, can you just skillet it? Pan fry it. Maybe a little oil, but not much at all
WAIT-
I didn't think about this!
I'll totally experiment with that method.
I don't have a big enough pan, but a pot should do.
You can always slice the hotdog up if your pan isn't large enough - unlike sausage the casing on a hotdog is more for appearance than to keep all the bits inside (hotdogs are basically solid tubes of stuff) so if you slice it in half to reduce its length you probably won't notice when eating it.
Oki doki!
I pan fry hotdogs all the time. I put a little water in the pan to help the hotdogs heat all the way through and then let it burn off and fry them a bit to get them slightly crispy.
You need to do yourself a favor and go get yourself a proper frying pan/skillet. It doesn't need to be an expensive or nice one, but if you don't have one that can fit a few hot dogs, your kitchen is way under equipped.
Anything will do, if they are non-stick, you'll definitely want oil or water, to help distribute the heat.
