    Default Hot dogs in sap?

    I read somewhere in the past about cooking hot dogs and hard boiling eggs in sap.
    Has anyone had experiance doing a little cooking while boiling? I don't plan to add anything to my boiling sap but was wondering about doing a little cooking on the side. Do I cook in raw sap, boiled sap or almost syrup?
    I can always go for some good quick eats and a homebrew while boiling!

    I often boil eggs in my sap. Not about to put a greasy old hotdog made up of lips and the other ends.
    The eggs do not take on much flavor unless cooked in a pretty heavy concentrate.

    Brats are very tasty cooked in sap. Makes a healthy tea also.

    Hi Guys,
    My granson thought he should do up a couple of eggs in the syrup pan.
    That worked well for the first few times .................
    Then he dropped one while putting it in .................
    That was just about all of that being done!!!!
    Took an hour to clean the cooked white out and clean the pan!!!!!
    Now all the cooking is done in the house!!!!!!!
    Now, tea or coffee from the sap is ok!!!!
    Draw the sap off before adding the tea or coffee!!!!
