Hot Dog!

Following up on my comments here, about cooking hot dogs with 120 VAC power, a little bit of Googling yields the following links:

• Resistance of a hot dog: 46 Ohms, according to this page from RJL Systems.
• Picture of a hot dog cooking: Here, from the Physics Department at Sierra College, Rocklin, California.

The second link claims that (as ought to be expected) the resistance of the dog changes as it cooks, but it doesn't give numbers.
