The OP intrigued me to such a degree that I had to do a follow-up to this experiment. Being that the first had minimal success, I decided to get back
to basics. Mabye it was the microwaves that were actually interferring with the hotdog's jump into the next dimensional plane. This could only be
conducted through the process of elimination. So, I eliminated the microwave all together, the hot dog bun and any chili.
I decided to see if maybe the experiment would work better if I could break down the molecules of the hotdog first. I grabbed a pot and filled it with
water. I made sure to sprinkle in a little salt to bring to a boil faster and also help with the molecular break down. I thought that maybe not using
a land-line and instead, using a cell-phone would help. I thought after the molecular breakdown the molecules could be vaporized and transfered to a
radio-wave, thus transporting through the cellphone, itself.
Ok. So, I brought the water to a boil and placed the hot dog in the boiling water. After about 7 minutes the hot dog plumpped enormously. This was
completely the opposite of my predictions and an unforeseen event. I turned the heat to high. Next I grabbed an empty shoe box from my closet and set
it next to the burner and placed my cell phone on top. This way, any molecules that were vaporized could quickly be transfers via radio wave through
the phone. The hot dog reached it pinnacle girth so I reduced the heat to medium high. The steam was really rolling off now. I decided maybe I would
need more water since much of the pot was boiling off in steam. Just as I turned around to grab a cup of water the shoe box burst into flame. A great
success! I acheived spontaneous combustion! I immediately checked that dog, alas, still plump and mighty tender. The dog would need more time. I
quickly turned on the overhead fan. Now things were really getting going! Smoke filled the kitchen. I realized I had to speed up the experiment
exponentially in order for this to be a success before my entire kitchen went up in flames. I decided to coax any particles that were evaporating into
the phone by pushing radiowaves into the phone myself. I ran to the next room and grabbed my land-line and dialed my cell phone. I heard it ring.
Once. Twice. "How many rings are enough?", I thought to myself. I decided the magice number would be Seven rings. But, when I got to 4 and a half
rings, the ringer stopped. "That must have done it!" I was sure and my excitment was peaking. I ran to the next room only to find the water had
boiled over put out most of the shoe box fire. I grabbed a towel and threw it on top of the shoe box to put out the rest of the fire. I checked the
pot for the dog. Still there. BUT, when I removed the towel my cell phone was trans-mutated. It must have been the water vapors interacting with the
radio signal. The solid plastic had been reduced to a gooey plastic ooze. Also, my stove was toast. Not the exact expected results, but none-the-less
a great surprise! Sucess in a mild way.
I plan to redo the experiment once again. Only this time hotdog and two cell phones. But first I have to replace the first one I lost. OH, and the
stove. Stay tuned for more results!
I've posted the pics that I documented the experiment with:

would you trust the opinion of any one who didn't have a sense of humor?????? 
. But I dont remember the
last time a chimichanga came up missing in the microwave lol.
