Using natural casing hot dogs in an air fryer prevents them from bursting due to steam pressure. Cellulose casings are stiff and do not allow for expansion, causing hot dogs to split open, resulting in a loss of juices. In contrast, natural casings are elastic and semi-porous, enabling hot dogs to expand while retaining moisture and flavor. Moreover, cutting slits in hot dogs does not prevent them from bursting but causes juices to leak out, so it is recommended to skip that step for better results.
Natural casings, made from cleaned animal intestines, don’t have the rigidity of cellulose casings, allowing hot dogs to expand and lock in moisture and flavor.
Air fryer hot dogs require natural casings to prevent bursting from pressure buildup during cooking, ensuring they stay plump and juicy instead.
