Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Hot dog sausages — Choose high-quality sausages with natural casings for the best results.
  • Hot dog buns — Opt for soft and fresh buns to complement the crispy Ripper.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra burst of flavor, add spices like paprika, chili powder, or cayenne pepper to the simmering broth.
  • Experiment with different condiments and toppings to personalize your Ripper.
  • If you don't have a deep fryer, you can use a large pot with enough oil to fully submerge the sausages.

Serving advice

Serve the Ripper hot, straight from the fryer, to enjoy the contrast between the crispy exterior and the juicy interior.

Presentation advice

Place the Ripper in the center of the bun and arrange the condiments on top to create an appetizing visual appeal.
