Notes

  1. If cooking hot dogs from frozen, set timer for 1 minute instead of zero minutes
  2. You may poke the hot dogs with a fork before adding it to the instant pot, if you are worried it will burst open though i havent had that experience when cooking hot dogs in the air fryer.
  3. The time won't change even if you are making a large batch of hot dogs
  4. See blog post for more tips and tricks.
