Hey Pivodog,
Thanks for the reply… I’d love to have the recipe if you wouldn’t mind… Thank you!

Hey mrobisr… Thanks for the response… Thats what I was looking for… It makes sense to use a cure with the hot dogs, I agree… As far as Star San, I’m very familiar. I also homebrew beer… I’ll be giving it a shot soon and will maybe post some results… Thank you guys for the info… Have a great day!

Hey Craig… Thanks for responding… Most of the DIY recipes I have seen use sheep casings… Which are packed in salt… I was happy to see the cellulose casings from Watsons, which led me here… I’m just curious if you would have to cure the meat… Which would lead to less sodium… I would definitely smoke them… I wouldn’t make a lot at one time, just maybe a dozen or two, and individually freeze them to use as needed. And of course, substitute the “No Salt” blend for the salt in a recipe… Im sure it would take some tweaking to get a good product, but I can’t imagine going without a good hotdog the rest of my life and not feeling guilty about it…

Hello,
First timer here… I recently got diagnosed with Heart failure and have to really watch my sodium intake… It stinks, but I’ve managed to make due, I’ve worked as a chef for the last 15 years and love to cook. So I have no problem making whatever I want to eat with little to no sodium. I have 2 questions, if anybody would be so kind to help me.
#1. Does anyone have a really solid hot dog recipe they wouldn’t mind sharing?
#2. Is it even possible/worth the effort to make a hot dog with very little sodium?
Thank you in advance. Have a great day!
