I cook hot dogs in the toaster oven on Broil.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is the term frying dependent on there being grease in the pan? It is, right? Then you hot dog friers are disgusting people, who should be heavily penalised for your willful perversions. Ideally you grill/broil it, but you can also heat it in a frying pan of the non stick variety, but no grease.
Boiling is a last resort, but frying is no resort whatsoever.
Full disclosure would indicate I should point out I don't like hotdogs. Still, my opinions should bear weight, because they are correct nonetheless.

Some things, like bacon, make their own grease.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When I was little, I would take a cold hot dog for lunch. No bun, I think? Maybe I invented low-carb! (Also maybe I had goldfish crackers on the side.)

Hot dogs are excellent cooked in butter! But it's not necessary, really.

Because books.
I'm suddenly craving cut up hot dogs in Spaghettios.

I used to boil hot dogs, until I first tasted bratwurst and switched to grilling that instead.

Mom used to cook the dogs dry in a cast-iron skillet, but she'd also throw buttered buns in the pan, so there was some additional grease. Noms, though (as far as hot dogs are noms - I enjoy them, but only so much).
For mac & cheese I'd much rather use kielbasa or something similar than hot dogs.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My mom put sliced up hot dogs in lentil soup. Now, I use kielbasa for a slighty more spicy yumminess.

Microwave. If I'm going to the trouble of grilling, I'm using something better.
