What would happen?

What would happen if you dropped a freshly cooked hot dog onto the surface of Pluto?
Just a silly question, but I think their would be an explosion when the hot dog hit the surface, as it would be made up of frozen gases with low specific heat, the hot dog, fresh out of the oven would contain quite a bit of heat, as that heat transferred to the frozen gases on Pluto's surface, you would have an explosion an probably a small crater in the surface. What do you think?

Re: What would happen?

At least some vigorous outgassing like a geyser.
