Making Bar-S hot dogs not taste nasty

[classicdrogn]

I know it can be done. The ones that have sat under a heat ;amp on the convenience store roller machine for a couple hours are usually pretty good, even. Alas, regardless of whdther I pan fry them, boil them, oil-fry them, boil then pan fry, or even bake them in an oven on low heat for an hour, I cannot get rid of the strong, harsh chemical taste of the things, and a well-meaning relative-of-uncertain-degree (about a third of the town has the same last name, after a while you just default to "cousin" or "auntie/uncle") has given me a case of the damn things. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
