Hot dogs of choice
Hot dog rolls

The usual method is to place hot dog in the bun, wrap it with paper towel, the microwave it on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. However, that toughens the bun. A better way is to wrap hot dog in paper and microwave on high for 1 minute, then wrap bun in paper and microwave 8 to 10 seconds (bun stays soft). Five hot dogs take about 2 minutes, ten takes about 3 minutes.
