Frequently Asked Questions

  • ScrewDog creates a spiral cut in an uncooked hot dog before it goes on the grill.

    Place the hot dog on a flat, stable cutting board and position ScrewDog perpendicular to the hot dog. Align the blade with the right tip of the hot dog where you want the spiral to begin, then press down firmly enough for the blade to engage. Roll ScrewDog straight forward, allowing the hot dog to rotate beneath it as the blade creates the spiral.

    Return the hot dog to the starting position, place the blade back into the previous cut, and repeat until you've reached the end.

    Once grilled, the spiral opens up, creating crispy edges, more caramelization, and extra places for your favorite toppings to stick.

  • ScrewDog is designed for home grilling and backyard cooking. Use it only as intended, on uncooked hot dogs-like foods.

    The blade edge is safe to the touch but it is a functional blade, so handle with care and keep it away from young children. As with any kitchen or grilling tool, inspect it before use and do not use it if it appears damaged.

  • Yes, ScrewDog is dishwasher safe.

    For best results, place it on the top rack or hand wash with warm water and soap. We also recommend washing before and after use.

  • ScrewDog is made from PETG a durable 3D-printing material selected for its heat resistance and performance in product testing.

  • Orders typically ship within 3–5 business days. Once your order ships, you'll receive tracking information by email. Shipping times after fulfillment vary by location, but most U.S. orders arrive within 3–7 business days.

  • No. Founder Edition ScrewDogs are available to purchase today and are produced in small batches.

    Each unit is individually 3D printed, assembled, and shipped as inventory becomes available. If ScrewDog is listed as available on our website, you can order with confidence. We'll build and ship your Founder Edition as quickly as possible.

  • ScrewDog works best with standard hot dogs but can also be used on larger, firmer sausages and brats.

    Softer meats and curved varieties, like kielbasa, are generally not recommended. Their shape and texture make it difficult to create a consistent spiral.

    For the best results, we recommend using straight, firm hot dogs or sausages.
