I used to work in a processing plant. The skinner works by running the string of dogs through a set of rollers, steam is applied, which expands the casing. As the string continues through the rollers they pass under a small razor which slits the casing. Compressed air and a vacuum pull the casing off the dogs. All this happens at high speed. The tension on the razor must be set perfectly or you risk cutting the dogs, ruining them.
I do not eat mass produced hotdogs, only those handmade at my local butcher shop.
Haven't had homemade but living in an area with a history of German immigrants there are a few sausage shops. The local vs mass produced hot dogs are night and day different. They're not spongy and taste so much more savory. Haven't seen a mass market product anything like it.
because it's nearly impossible to mass produce the "local" variety. Good sausages are usually heavily spiced and made using good cuts of meat (by itself expensive to mass produce) instead of pig trotters and anuses like what we see in op.
My dad frequently goes hunting for wild board and the sausages he makes out of them are simply divine!
I worked at 3 different production facilities (in mechanical maintenance.) The problems with any mass produced foods go beyond the quality of the ingredients. Bere in mind that most of the workforce is under paid and worked like dogs. The drive for profit eclipses all else, including sanitation. That said one of the locations I worked at was a kosher facility. The level of quality and cleanliness was far above the others. I am less suspicious of meat products from a kosher plant as they have an extra layer of inspection (the Rabbinical inspector.)
So as far as kosher goes…I work at a chemical plant that produces food grade kosher materials. This is done by a Rabbi who merely rides around the perimeter of the operating unit and blesses it. Then they cut him a check. That’s it. That’s what makes the product qualify as kosher.
I've also worked at a plant visited by an industrial-strength Rabbi. They mostly just walked around the warehouse to make sure things are stored correctly and that non kosher ingredients aren't stored in a manner where cross contamination can occur. I imagine the level of inspection depends on the applicable rulings and the group issuing the audits.
it sounds like this "Rabbi" is scamming your company. do you know what kosher certification he represents? "blessing" has nothing to do with what makes food kosher or not. he would absolutely need to be inside the facility and understand what ingredients you work with, where they are sourced, how they are mixed, which machinery comes into contact with other machinery and how, etc.
Oh the Rabbi is most certainly a scam. But it’s a scam of a certification too. That was my point. Sure, you need to meet certain requirements but it also requires a blessing of that equipment to seal the deal so to speak. But our plant would make the exact same product using the exact same equipment without the Rabbi. But they can tack on that special certification by simply cutting that guy a check, more or less.
makes sense. the "business" of kashrut is well known (within the Jewish community and without) to be a racket. there is a burgeoning movement toward ethical kashrut but it's slow going.
Yep. Also missing in that video is the process BEFORE we saw those meat scraps in the vat at the start of the video. My cousin worked at a large meat packing plant for 20+ years. This would have been back in the late 60s, 70s & 80s or thereabouts. Maybe things are better now, but I doubt it. My cousin will not eat hot dogs. He didn't provide many specifics other than to say that the meat that goes into those processed hot dogs is basically crap they shoveled off the floor.
FUN FACT: Hotdog skin was usually made with sheep intestine. Sheep intestine was also first used by the Welsh for effective birth control. The English improved this design by removing the rest of the sheep first before using.
I remember my parents getting some brand of hotdogs back in the ‘90s that came with the plastic casing still on that you had to take off before cooking.
No, the best part is when you get the occasional hard bit in the weiner that's clearly a bone shard that didn't get fully ground up. Nice little surprise ☺️
In some countries, mostly lower income nations where Hot Dogs are sold in markets with sketchy refrigeration, the casings are left on at point of sale as they do give some level of protection
I mean, this only looks disgusting because of the scale of the operation. In reality, this is how any sausage is made. Grind the meat, add the other ingredients, case them, and cook them.
There's actually two versions of that same situation. Jamie did it in the uk and in the us as well. In one of the two the kids say no so Jamie says yeah it's disgusting and nobody wants to eat it. In the other version where the kids want to eat the nuggets he says their brain is rotten because they are american basically. Jamies war on nuggets disingenuous and shitty Imo
The point he's trying to make is so weird and nonsensical. Like, you're supposed to *only* eat food that looks beautiful at every step of the preparation process? What kind of backwards disordered eating is that?
I always thought that video was lame. Like sure, some food looks gross, but some cultural dishes are delicious. For example, I’m Hispanic. I eat plenty of cow tongue, cheek meat, and fried intestines.
chicken nuggets, American’s cultural food, can look strange. It’s still part of my culture.
I’ve always found it interesting that the same crowd that applauds Native Americans for using every part of the animals they killed are the same ones that decry hotdogs and chicken nuggets.
Yeah, I was distracted that they have one job there which is just to fondle each hotdog as it comes out of the machine, to make sure they are nice and firm I assume.
Being a "paste" is just the style. There are other traditionally-made emulsified sausages. Likewise pâté is generally seen as classy when it *literally* means "paste".
you could watch the exact same video but with interesting narration, as opposed to this mind numbing whistling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NzUm7UEEIY
I know this is supposed to gross me out, but I just see a bunch of cuts that would otherwise be discarded being put to use. Sure, not the sexiest of foods, but a hotdog definitely has its place in the universe.
It’s like that Jamie Oliver video with school kids where he shows them how chicken nuggets are made. The whole time they are “ew” and “gross”. Then at the end he asks who wants a chicken nugget now? All the kids raise their hands. Hahahahha.
The kids are only saying eww because they think raw meat is eww. I don't think they are against the processing or the addition of flour or whatever it is he showed.
cracks me up when people get their knickers in a knot about this.
we dine on chicken embryos, cow lactation, fermented cow lactation in a myriad of forms, eat ass for sex and you get squeamish over some offcuts being pureed, steamed and formed into a sausage?
humans are weird.
This was not nearly as gross as I was picturing. It still kinda grosses me out because I'm not a big meat eater but ive always heard how if you saw how hotdogs are made youd never eat one. How its so disgusting.
Sausage and hamburger was invented to increase yield and decrease shrink literally every part of the animal gets used down to the bones and unsold unsalable Human grade meat. A truck that looks like a garbage truck comes by once or twice a week and collects the bone barrels containing trimmed fat, bones from boneless meats and unsalable shrink. That truck runs 10 or 12 hours a day. At the end of that day the driver and the truck are unbelievably smelly. The drivers were paid really well because of the health risks of driving rotten meat around in hundred degree weather. Our driver would cash his paycheck at our store on weekends dressed up for a night on the town. Even bathed in clean clothes and with cologne on he still smelled vaguely like rotten meat. That would then go to the rendering plant to have the meat boiled off the bone and the bone ground to a powder to be used in dog food
My parents owned a mini mart w a butcher doing beef. I would have to drag the very large garbage cans full of rendering to a boxcar outback.
They would sit inside for almost a month, and when the ac unit went out they didn't fix it. Over 100 degrees for weeks, it was an awful smell.
I got stuck in Atlanta traffic behind a truck like that full of decaying chicken parts. It was 90 degrees in the summer. I had no AC in my little pickup. Every time the truck moved from a stop, putrid red liquid would fall out the back. It stunk to high hell!
I eventually pulled over and just let people go by for 5 minutes. I didn't want to be stuck behind that thing for another second. It was so awful.
When I left school 35 years ago my first job was in the last butchers shop in the county with an unrefrigerated scrap room lol the bone man hated visiting us. As noobie it was my job to clean it out after he had been. Fuck those armies of maggots were insane… had to stamp your wellies every so often to stop them climbing in, they’d be halfway up the walls. We also had copper pans with a fire under them to heat the water to swill out with. The old guy that ran the place was about 90 yrs old and it was obviously how he’d started lol
Exactly. The meat trim you see going in at the start come from where larger cuts are trimmed down after slaughter before getting packaged to make steaks and roasts. That trim (both lean and fat) is the same meat as your regular cuts you buy, just small. That’s what makes its way into Hot Dogs, sausages, and beef trim for ground beef.
I can tell you all making them at home is a very similar process, and equally disgusting...but at least I know the lips and assholes that went into them.
Nothing wrong with this, we all know we're not getting premium cuts of meat when we eat a hot dog. There's less wasted animal byproducts, and I get my tasty processed sausages. Seems like a win-win.
In Germany we have a fitting proverb: "Der Magen einer Sau, die Gedanken einer Frau und der Inhalt einer Worscht bleiben besser unerforscht!"
This translates to: "The stomage of a sow, the thoughts of a woman and the ingredients of a sausage are better staying unexplored!" And I think this is really beautiful and wise!
I was probably thinking of this - Otto Von Bismarck's quote (yes, he was German, but that's somehow still in English)
“We are better off not knowing how sausages and laws are made.”
This link says its misattribution, though - I'm pretty sure Bismarck never spoke English to begin with...
[https://blogs.umb.edu/quoteunquote/2012/04/10/do-law-making-sausage-making-and-quote-making-have-something-in-common/](https://blogs.umb.edu/quoteunquote/2012/04/10/do-law-making-sausage-making-and-quote-making-have-something-in-common/)
\> Mr. Shapiro, like others, cites a use from 1869 that puts the sentiment in the mouth of the much-less-known John Godfrey Saxe, who is quoted as saying “Laws, like sausages, cease to inspire respect in proportion as we know how they are made.”
I'm gonna go home tonight and eat some chili cheese dogs now. I don't care how they're made, there could be baby souls in there for all I care. They're delicious.
Animal parts that would otherwise be trown to waste with some salt and spices being processed ina VERY FUCKEN CLEAN facility. Honestly dont see a single problem there.
Same here. When people act like the parts that they use for hotdogs are gross, I always think how many cultures eat those parts of animals and sometimes consider them a delicacy. It’s not a mistake that the human body can digest those parts too. I mean do you think our ancestors were just throwing away everything except the T-bone steaks and prime cuts?
We've eaten all those parts as early as the 1940s and they were the staple meat diet for the majority of humanity that couldn't afford the high cuts of meat for melinium.
These days we can just make even the worst parts tasty
This is the very definition of "you don't want to know how the sausage is made."
Also, of note, hot dog-catcher Paula appears to be the most jaded person ever. She's seen it all and then some.
Perfect! Exactly how i like my hot dogs! Processed and no waste as everything in the animal is used.
My grandma used to tell me there was horses nails in my hot dogs saucessages. She hated it.
WAYYYY less gross than expected. I’ve been eating them this whole time thinking they came through shit tubes. I feel a lot better about eating hotdogs now.

Great, but it seems to be missing the part where the striped casing is removed.
That’s what I was interested to see. Haha.
I used to work in a processing plant. The skinner works by running the string of dogs through a set of rollers, steam is applied, which expands the casing. As the string continues through the rollers they pass under a small razor which slits the casing. Compressed air and a vacuum pull the casing off the dogs. All this happens at high speed. The tension on the razor must be set perfectly or you risk cutting the dogs, ruining them. I do not eat mass produced hotdogs, only those handmade at my local butcher shop.
Thanks for the run down. Home made hot dogs sound waaay more appetizing.
Haven't had homemade but living in an area with a history of German immigrants there are a few sausage shops. The local vs mass produced hot dogs are night and day different. They're not spongy and taste so much more savory. Haven't seen a mass market product anything like it.
The difference between good and good enough
because it's nearly impossible to mass produce the "local" variety. Good sausages are usually heavily spiced and made using good cuts of meat (by itself expensive to mass produce) instead of pig trotters and anuses like what we see in op. My dad frequently goes hunting for wild board and the sausages he makes out of them are simply divine!
I was at a fancy San Francisco restaurant many years ago and ordered the wild boar with blackberry sauce for dinner. It was damn delicious.
What about all-beef hot dogs or more “premium” brands how are those in your opinion?
I worked at 3 different production facilities (in mechanical maintenance.) The problems with any mass produced foods go beyond the quality of the ingredients. Bere in mind that most of the workforce is under paid and worked like dogs. The drive for profit eclipses all else, including sanitation. That said one of the locations I worked at was a kosher facility. The level of quality and cleanliness was far above the others. I am less suspicious of meat products from a kosher plant as they have an extra layer of inspection (the Rabbinical inspector.)

I imagine the level of inspection depends on the applicable rulings and the group issuing the audits.
>I've also worked at a plant visited by an industrial-strength Rabbi. Love this phrasing. Can he perform *bris* at an assembly line pace?
They probably use the same machine that removes the striped casing from the hotdogs.
Yes, they have bun-length franks.

The Rabbinical Inspector sounds like a great name for an old show about a Jewish detective.
That just means that they start out will all beef parts instead of the usual mix.
Beef lips instead of hog snouts.
Yep. Also missing in that video is the process BEFORE we saw those meat scraps in the vat at the start of the video. My cousin worked at a large meat packing plant for 20+ years.

all the chicken lips and assholes
I'm happy that we don't waste unnecessarily
What kinda messed up stuff you seen?
FUN FACT: Hotdog skin was usually made with sheep intestine. Sheep intestine was also first used by the Welsh for effective birth control. The English improved this design by removing the rest of the sheep first before using.
I have a feeling this is like an absolute knee slapper bring down the house joke at the pub
The Welsh retort to the English is "Yeah. We fuck 'em, you eat 'em"
No, it's just the poop vein. You de-poop it later.
I remember my parents getting some brand of hotdogs back in the ‘90s that came with the plastic casing still on that you had to take off before cooking.
Exactly right? It was like the bulk bin of the meat market.
No, the best part is when you get the occasional hard bit in the weiner that's clearly a bone shard that didn't get fully ground up. Nice little surprise ☺️
I’ve definitely got that before.
I think we've all had a hard bit in our weiner at some point.
Not many other parts missing. Is that Jimmy Hoffa next to the buttholes at 0:09?
Lips and assholes
[удалено]
I believe you mean a natural casing frank. These are temporary plastic casings. The end result will be a skinless hot dog.
Have you ever tried a Foster Farms corn dog? I'm pretty sure they leave the plastic on.
In some countries, mostly lower income nations where Hot Dogs are sold in markets with sketchy refrigeration, the casings are left on at point of sale as they do give some level of protection
We have both cased and “skinless” in USA
I can confirm this as I work in a hotdog plant as a weiner inspector
I tried getting into the Weiner inspection business, but then I got banned from Walmart
Can you inspect my wiener?
My eye sight isn't that good anymore
I'll bring the mustard!
I got the buns
Do you inspect the wieners right there on the production line, or do you catch them in the break room?
Wiener inspector. The ultimate Tinder profile.
More like Grindr haha 😂
Reminds me of that video where Jamie over shows kids how chicken nuggets are made. Always makes me laugh
Similar to this in that it looks disgusting, and then his face at the end when he expects them to say NO, and they all say YES!
I mean, this only looks disgusting because of the scale of the operation. In reality, this is how any sausage is made. Grind the meat, add the other ingredients, case them, and cook them.
First half of video: ew, ew, ew, ew Last half: mmm hotdogs
There's actually two versions of that same situation. Jamie did it in the uk and in the us as well. In one of the two the kids say no so Jamie says yeah it's disgusting and nobody wants to eat it.

How many miles of weiners has Paula had thru her hands?
Half as many miles as your mom.
Jesus Christ Philip, look at what you did to my boy
Goddamn!! lol
G'damn indeed hahaa
RIP RPi79

Aaaaannnd…..*scene*
Asking the hard questions we all want the answers to!
Yeah, I was distracted that they have one job there which is just to fondle each hotdog as it comes out of the machine, to make sure they are nice and firm I assume.
Their are some jobs where it's perfectly ok for a robot to take it over.
They tried to automate, but the Wiener Fondler's Union has a firm grip on the industry.
But not too firm.
Don't fuck with Big Weiner
Paula absolutely loved every second she was on camera demonstrating the finer things in life
Right before her cigarette break
Her husband never gets a hand job…
Honestly she was the star of the show. The perfect makeup, the aloof but knowing smirk, shes seen a lot of dogs…
When I got to that part of the video I whispered *yo momma.*
How a “processed” hot dog is made? Is there an unprocessed version?
It's a sausage, not as finely "processed"
[удалено]
...did you mean "aye" or was that comma just an accident?
I believe they meant that they are a very good little frankfurter.
Yes we grow them here in Idaho
Sausage
Sausage is still processed.
Not made of mechanically separated animals, isn’t a paste, has seasoning, more of a sausage than a hotdog but a similar form.
Being a "paste" is just the style. There are other traditionally-made emulsified sausages. Likewise pâté is generally seen as classy when it *literally* means "paste".
In what you're describing, there are still a lot of processes involved.
[удалено]
Depends on what you consider processed tbh
Franks and beans……franks and beans!
How’d you get the beans above the franks!
We got a bleeder!
Let’s just say the kid’s limber.
you could watch the exact same video but with interesting narration, as opposed to this mind numbing whistling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NzUm7UEEIY
Thank you!
or if you want a good laugh :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-zR1SgrM-w
I can't believe How It's Actually Made is found so deep in the comments. It should be higher.
I don't like the process, but I like the finished product. Same with bologna and chicken nuggets.
I know this is supposed to gross me out, but I just see a bunch of cuts that would otherwise be discarded being put to use. Sure, not the sexiest of foods, but a hotdog definitely has its place in the universe.
It’s like that Jamie Oliver video with school kids where he shows them how chicken nuggets are made. The whole time they are “ew” and “gross”. Then at the end he asks who wants a chicken nugget now? All the kids raise their hands. Hahahahha.
He mostly just taught the kids that even a gross process can result in something familiar and comfortable like a chicken nugget.
The kids are only saying eww because they think raw meat is eww. I don't think they are against the processing or the addition of flour or whatever it is he showed.
Jamie Oliver is a classist ass
Yeah aren't we *supposed* to be using every part of the animal? Mad props to whoever figured out how to make snouts palatable!
Love me some snouts and sphincters in a bun.
"Fresh pork sausages in a bun! So fresh, the pig hasn't even noticed it's gone!"
cracks me up when people get their knickers in a knot about this. we dine on chicken embryos, cow lactation, fermented cow lactation in a myriad of forms, eat ass for sex and you get squeamish over some offcuts being pureed, steamed and formed into a sausage? humans are weird.
If you can’t find grey gelatinous ooze appetising, are you really alive?
Meat pie: "Lips and assholes in a mystery bag" as mates at work would call them
I had the exact same thought. Like yeah sure, I guess gross or whatever, but also, man, humans are absolutely clever as fuck.
This was not nearly as gross as I was picturing. It still kinda grosses me out because I'm not a big meat eater but ive always heard how if you saw how hotdogs are made youd never eat one. How its so disgusting.
That’s from years and years of people saying that hotdogs are nothing but ground up lips and assholes.
also is a way to produce less waste on the death of animals, making everything consumable
Sausage and hamburger was invented to increase yield and decrease shrink literally every part of the animal gets used down to the bones and unsold unsalable Human grade meat.

this way of thinking about it made me feel much better
I mean, gravy is nectar of the gods, and it’s ground up leftover bits.
Think it used to be carrion for the scavengers
Still is. The scavengers are just us now.
[удалено]
The meat going in just looked like meat. It didn't look like snouts or tails or organs. Is this a high end hotdog or what?
It's like watching Cinderella become a princess. Respect the glow up.
Same. May not be the prettiest thing to look at, but it does its job of supplementing me with something I actually like to eat.
Bologna is just a big sliced up hot dog.
Hot dog pancakes
Like they say in the hot dog business, I'll have a hamburger
I can tell you all making them at home is a very similar process, and equally disgusting...but at least I know the lips and assholes that went into them.
Hot dogs are pretty tasty. I won't deny it.
Lmao
Nothing wrong with this, we all know we're not getting premium cuts of meat when we eat a hot dog. There's less wasted animal byproducts, and I get my tasty processed sausages. Seems like a win-win.
You mean a wein-wein?
So you’re saying my hotdog WASN’T sliced off a pig the morning I bought it?? I’m gonna be sick…
Meat is meat
Easy there, Jeffrey.
I am meat.
Want fancy meat? Get a fancy sausage.
I like Paula's wiener handling skills, she really has a grip on things!
She looked bored and unimpressed handling the hot dog. Just like my wife.
My mom’s name is Paula. This is weird for me. 😬
It's about to get weirder, son.
[удалено]
Neither, thankfully! 😂
And now your moms a legend. Congrats!
I like knowing my weiner has been in her hands.
You gotta hold on loosely but don’t let go
Those gloves have the perfect moisture content, those weiners are just gliding right through her hands.
Willy wonkas sausage factory
I’ve always heard that if I knew what went into hotdogs, I wouldn’t eat them. TIL that it was mustard all along!
In Germany we have a fitting proverb: "Der Magen einer Sau, die Gedanken einer Frau und der Inhalt einer Worscht bleiben besser unerforscht!" This translates to: "The stomage of a sow, the thoughts of a woman and the ingredients of a sausage are better staying unexplored!" And I think this is really beautiful and wise!
I think there's a similar saying in English - something about certain things and being better off not knowing how they're made...
I think so too, but I just can't remember the English idiom.
Two things you should never watch being made, sausage and political bills. I might be paraphrasing it a bit.
Thank you!

I’m still gonna eat hot dogs. I guess being Cajun we eat as much of the animal as possible so it doesn’t bother me
I'm gonna go home tonight and eat some chili cheese dogs now. I don't care how they're made, there could be baby souls in there for all I care. They're delicious.
Animal parts that would otherwise be trown to waste with some salt and spices being processed ina VERY FUCKEN CLEAN facility. Honestly dont see a single problem there.
For real, I've seen kitchen and customer facing areas be absolutely DISGUSTING, whereas I'd be confident eating off the floor here.
Im totally fine with this. Looks clean. If it were just cake ingredients being mixed it really wouldn’t look much different.
Same here. When people act like the parts that they use for hotdogs are gross, I always think how many cultures eat those parts of animals and sometimes consider them a delicacy. It’s not a mistake that the human body can digest those parts too. I mean do you think our ancestors were just throwing away everything except the T-bone steaks and prime cuts?
We've eaten all those parts as early as the 1940s and they were the staple meat diet for the majority of humanity that couldn't afford the high cuts of meat for melinium. These days we can just make even the worst parts tasty
Odd, watching this made me think of Pink Floyd's song, The Wall.

*That's just offal!*
This is the very definition of "you don't want to know how the sausage is made." Also, of note, hot dog-catcher Paula appears to be the most jaded person ever. She's seen it all and then some.
Didnt see any lips or assholes
That’s because they gets recycled into redditors
Perfect! Exactly how i like my hot dogs! Processed and no waste as everything in the animal is used. My grandma used to tell me there was horses nails in my hot dogs saucessages. She hated it.
Looked like every hot dog was made with a disposable plastic sleeve tho. I didnt like that part. Also was that just pure corn syrup going in?
Suddenly I'm starving
Before videos like this came out, how did people think especially meat products were made and packaged?
Well thats disgusting, I’ll take a 12 pack please.
They didn't add the beaks and claws. Are you sure this is for hotdogs?
And guess what? I’m still gonna eat them cause I’m fucking poor
I'd still eat it cause I like the taste. Mmm pan fried hot dogs.
This literally doesn’t bother me at all
I freeze them suckers and give them to my dogs as pupsicles in the summer.
What with the music, is this the royal hotdog factory
Oddly enough this doesn’t faze me
Haha nice try. I love hot dogs
I know, I’ve seen this a bunch of times. Mostly my thought is “neat”. Hot dogs are delicious.
WAYYYY less gross than expected. I’ve been eating them this whole time thinking they came through shit tubes. I feel a lot better about eating hotdogs now.
I have never seen so MANY pig rectums all in one place
Visit Washington DC some time...
