You'd probably need a real big coil to cook a hot dog.
 Otherwise the currents will probably be way too
small.  Actually, you can cook a hot dog pretty well
by simply plugging it directly into a wall socket.  I
tried this years ago and recall having some luck.  Get
a couple of aligator clips and two nails.  Poke the
nails into the ends of the hot dog, then clip the
nails to the output of your variac.  Adjust variac
output for maximum doneness :D
