"What's the best way to cook a corn dog? Zap it in the microwave or roast it in the oven?" - Adam Child

(Please do this for us.)

The Silver Fox:

Slow roasting is definitely the way to go.  Of course the microwave is convenient and faster, but often microwaving leads to a half-cooked or luke-warm experience.  Ketchup is helpful distraction from the less-than-desirable microwaved corndog, but let’s be real: microwaving a corn dog is not the best choice.  

Oven roasting is the answer.  This gives the corn dog plenty of time to completely cook, and not only heats both parts thoroughly and evenly, but also leaves the exterior with a more delectable crunchy texture.  Ketchup is an afterthought when corn dogs taste as good as they do from the oven.

And to further demonstrate my point, think about relationships. Do you really want something that is half-cooked and luke-warm? Non-committal “condiments” may cover the less-than-desirable relationship, but slow cooking is really the way to go! This allows both individuals in the relationship plenty of time to warm up thoroughly, and to persevere through some heat and time.  Not only will the exterior, or those parts of the relationship seen by others, be more golden, but the corn dog courtship will also have a much better chance for success!

The River Otter:

The Secret to a Perfect Corn Dog

One could bake it

One could fry it

One could even microwave it

Roast it over an open fire

Or a camp stove if times are dire

Cook it in a tandoori oven

Or an effigy's flame (if in a coven)

Singe it with magnifying glass when it's sunny

But, though all these ways will do, let me tell you the truth, honey.

If you want a corn dog cooked to perfection 

This is the method that wins the election: 

Sashay up to Corndog Commander, bat your eyelashes and say:

"Hey, honeybuns...send a corn dog my way?"
