If you are in dire need of a delicious barbecue snack, but don't own a griller or maybe don't have the necessary barbecue skills, this DIY hot dog cooker will cater to your woes and needs. The hot dog cooker is essentially a solar oven that is simple and easy to make -- all you need is an empty Pringles can and a few craft essentials like glue and markers.
Instructables user Cats Science Club came up with the idea and posted a easy-to-follow tutorial on its account. By punching a skewer through the lid, cutting out a rectangular window in the side of the can and replacing the cut-out with plastic wrap, the can will be able to cook effortlessly and reach temperatures over 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
