Not to worry, though, because an increasing number food companies are offering a new version of the tasty treats made from soy. In fact, this was one of the few soy categories that I use to feel really needed a lot of work. Food technology has done a terrific job with these newest pups. Another cooking method listed on all packages was boiling. Simply pop the pups in boiling water for 3 - 5 minutes and they are ready.
Several brands mention a preferred cooking method - steaming.
I am sure the steam keeps the dog moist as it is being heated, but so does boiling water. One package suggests stovetop skillet cooking as an alternative. Yes, you can grill most of these veggie dogs. My neighbor Pete, a true meat and hot dog eater, assisted me as I tested all six veggie dogs on the gas grill. Grill over medium heat.
