    Holy water (of the variety you dip your hand in) generally contains human waste (from the hands) and salt (added to stop it from growing mould or algae). Probably not too different from hot dog water.

    I had an old coworker that made his own vodka. He always talked about wanting to make some from hotdog water. He was going to call it WurstWasser. I even made him a logo with an anthropomorphic hotdog taking a shower. I hope he made it.

        Using a fancy steamer would work great but I keep lo-fi with just a wire rack. Fill your standard pot about a third with water and the rack, then once it’s boiling set dogs in for 4-5 minutes, covered. Really until they are hot but won’t take much. Then set buns in for 2ish minutes to heat and you’re all set.

        It’s basically how street hot dog vendors do it. Miles tastier than boiling where flavor goes down the drain with your water.
