I assume the bottom feathers would combust or liquify or something equally horrifying long before they put enough pressure on the steel to melt it

Early replicators were basically matter photocopiers, and templates were limited by what they were able to measure (at the time) of an original's final form, not taking into account the effects of preparation/manufacturing. Over time, people figured out how to build templates around the technology's inherent capabilities and the measurements to create new templates became more precise, so replicated products improved immensely - if they're based on those newer templates. However, the stigma of the early, flat days remains, and the lovely templates are still out there in various libraries.

The fun part is making that AI do some work, and asking it to make a lasagna like 14th century Bolian chef Sraxin Dott, or plomeek soup with only things on hand in a 20th-century Earth kitchen. You end up with a culinary version of Riker's "table".

If you ask the replicator to make you a sandwich without any further elaboration, is there any chance that it would produce a hot dog?

But yes, if it's set that way. It might be set to always default to a ham on rye or whatever, or it might use an RNG to choose any sandwich in its database. Like a hot dog sandwich.

Hell, I'm not sure you'd actually get food in the first place. Duct tape, for instance is technically a sandwich of polyethylene, fabric, and adhesive.

A hot dog can only be a sandwich if both buns are fully separated and that would let all the ketchup leak out.

No, because it will ask you to elaborate on what kind of sandwich. As I recall, Tom Paris couldn't even order "tomato soup" without the computer asking him for more details.
