The BBQ Report

A little quick tip I picked up for making nice looking hot dogs and links. Sometimes when grilling hot dogs or sausage links the casings will split open as the juices expand and the internal presures build. This is particularly a problem with the more expensive varieties which tend to have tougher casings. The solution however is simple. Give each dog or link a light scoring with a share knife before grilling. This lets the steam escape, keeping everything intact.
