I no longer boil hot dogs or sausages. Grill, or, broiler, or iron skillet.

There's also the high-voltage method, whereby the ends are impaled on spikes that are then connected to a wall outlet. (Order of operations is important here. I've seen commercial devices that had safety features, e.g. a switch that cuts in only when the cover is closed.) Quick and easy. I gather that it's especially interesting in locations where the electrical supply is 240VAC rather than just 120VAC.
