Ok, having read this, I decided to try to cook it again anyway.
only this time I did it diferently.
I disconnected the wire from the primary, connected it to a metal rod and
stuck it through the hot dog. then I laid the hotdog on the primary and
turned it on. It cooked rather nicely and left marks from where it touched
the prmary.
It tasted good.
