How Steam Turns Meat into Hot Dogs

This episode of Steam Culture breaks down how steam is used in commercial hot dog production, specifically in the casing-peeling process, and then explains the real difference between a steamed and a boiled hot dog — plus two legitimate ways to actually steam one at home.

Steam shows up in more places than most people realize. This is the kind of episode that makes you think twice about a technology you're around every day — told through something everyone has eaten.

WARE has been living and breathing steam for generations. Steam Culture is the show where that expertise gets applied to the world around us — even ballpark food.
