Back in 1987 I was working for B.K. and we had hot dogs on the menu,  but we cooked them in the microwave at the &quot;spec board&quot; which is the place where chicken sandwiches are made.<p>It was rare to have one ordered,  and one time I did one and it burst in an ugly way which drew a customer complaint from the manager &quot;You mean you don&#x27;t know how to cook a hot dog in the microwave?&quot; to which I countered that I hadn&#x27;t been trained.
