How Do You Like Your Hot Dog?

You might try a vegetable steamer if you have one, but it takes some practice to keep from making the buns soggy.

asked my wife and he suggested to try to wrap the bun in a moist paper towel and microwave it. I have cooked sweet corn for decades in the microwave wrapped in wet paper towel. Maybe less wet and shorter heat could steam it!?? I will give it a try!!
