Can I eat a hot dog or what?

BabyRolls · May 2015

Anyone know the deal? I love boiled hot dogs.

VioletandRose · May 2015

I've eaten lots of hot dogs (strange craving?), but all on the grill or made in a grill pan. Really I don't think it matters, as long as it is steaming hot. Go for it

I've eaten hot dogs during both of my pregnancies. I'm comfortable with it as long as they are completely heated through.

aah1013 · May 2015

I've had several. I used to eat one or two a year, but for whatever reason, they just taste really good lately.

I have never heard this was a no-no. I say go for it. Who can avoid a hot dog in the summer!?

amberrmariee20 · May 2015

As long as it's fully cooked you can ! However when I was around 10 weeks I didn't even realize and was eating the hotdogs raw ! Oopppsss

McRad · May 2015

Oh goodness. If we aren't supposed to, I'm screwed. I have had hardcore cravings for them the entire time so far!
I usually grill mine up and make sure to cut into it and see if it's steaming inside. Then, I smother it in ketchup and mustard with some relish and shove that sucker in my mouth! Mmmmm. Haha!

Yes, as long as they're cooked hot enough in case they contain listeria. You wouldn't want to eat too many because the nitrates aren't the best for baby, but they're not good for adults either! A couple now and then shouldn't be an issue.

I forgot to mention I eat the nitrate free ones I believe the brand is applegate farms.

I love Costco hotdogs so my husband asked if they are heated to 160 degrees. That's they're minimum temp, so yep! I eat them.

furelise93 · May 2015

Yes, you can eat them. I usually hate hot dogs, but ever since I got pregnant, I can't have enough of them! They're so good with tons of shredded cheddar cheese on them. Mmmmmm. I get the all-natural kind that do not contain any nitrates.

I had one for dinner last night

Kmohney1 · May 2015

Summer=fairs=corndogs. This completes my life. I want to eat all the fair food.

dchiapella · May 2015

I try not to have them too often because of how processed they are but man... a pregnant lady's got to do what a pregnant lady's got to do! I LOOOOOVE mine boiled on a steamed bun with mayonaise, relish, celery salt and onion... YUUUUUUUUUM!

haamsandwich · May 2015

At my first doc appt, my doctor said, "If you eat hot dogs, make sure they are full cooked. Also, if you normally eat raw hot dogs, don't tell me. I don't want to judge you." I thought it was kind of funny.

loveleighmami · May 2015

If you're really worried, get a nitrate free brand like Applegate Farms, they typically have them at Target. I'm sure you'll be fine though with a regular hot dog. Enjoy!

I love mine with mayo, too! With vidalia onion relish. DH thinks I'm crazy.

LOL....all day I've been seeing the title of this thread but reading it aloud in my head as Will Ferrel doing Harry Carey!

amberrmariee20 · May 2015

Boil hotdogs then fry them in a pan with onions ! Omg best thing ever !

baconlady · May 2015

Sudden hot dog lover here too . smother them in mayo , mustard ketchup and relish. Most delish thing ever .

kfry22 · May 2015

My doctor has an 18 month old and she said 28 months ago all she ate was hot dogs and lunch meat. Eat your hot dog

Lbettilyon · May 2015

Ohmigosh. That is the one thing I'm looking forward to! The Minnesota state fair is the best eating ever. I'm going to be all fat and waddle around and stuff my face. Can't wait for the end of August!

Sbrouwer0706 · May 2015

Not sure if you have a trader joes where you're at but they have nitrate free hot dogs. I just figure it's like any other craving during pregnancy, fine in moderation

mrsdhouse89 · May 2015

Only a no no if it's a cold hotdog. I had to double check my papers from the doc

Kristinp513 · May 2015

Love apple gate farms! We get the all beef, nitrate free ones, so good & don't feel bad that I'm eating them!

rparr1984 · May 2015

I had a hotdog for breakfast at a baseball game this morning...I also frequently eat cold cuts.

nmatheny14 · May 2015

I eat them if I've cooked them myself and know they're well done.

sarapagan · June 2015

Ive eaten them too!!! My doctor told me the best way to cook them if you have to have them is to boil them...it removes some of the nitrates. But I like them on the grill practically burnt yummmmm. So I boil them first then get them on the grill to burn

BlueWaffleSpeshul · June 2015

FWIW there isn't really a nitrate-free hot dog. The celery juice they use to make those has trace amounts of nitrates, but it's negligible. Hot dogs are amazing. Eat all the hot dogs.

amymichellerodrigue · June 2015

As long as they are cooked

megsie3102 · June 2015

I am confused with hot dogs. I know you have to thoroughly heat them because of listeria but don't they still have sodium nitrite? I've been avoiding them but miss them!!
