    Might not be you specifically, but I think something a lot of people miss with a lot of premade vegan products like hotdogs and stuff is that they don’t need to cooked. The burgers I get even say on the package “this is not meat” and suggest you’re going to burn it if you treat it like it is. You’re essentially just warming it up.

      True, but meat-based hot dogs are typically fully cooked and so only need to be warmed, too… Grilling is just kind of a fun activity for me, and it adds a little snap and smoky flavor that you can’t get by boiling them. That said, grilled veggie dogs were a little different, but still pretty good!
