How long do wieners boil and how do you know when they're ready?

Loved by many people, sausages can be eaten as a snack or used as a main dish to a variety of side dishes. Eat them in raw form, as the product is subjected to heat treatment in the manufacture. But most people prefer to cook wieners.

How to boil wieners

Meat products can be sold in synthetic film and in natural casing. The latter are usually more tasty. Before putting them into boiling water artificial casing should be removed, as it releases harmful substances when heated. You only need to pierce the natural stuff with a fork in several places. This way the wieners won't burst, and they will look more aesthetically pleasing on the plate.

If the semi-finished product was stored in the freezer, you can not defrost it beforehand, but it is necessary to increase the cooking time.

Usually boil wieners for 5 to 10 minutes. The larger the meat product, the longer it cooks.

In the microwave, you can reheat the semi-finished product without water. The wiener is pierced in several places and placed in the electric device for 3 minutes.

2. If you stick a kitchen thermometer into the wiener and it reads 68-74°C, the meat product is ready.

Tip! The best way to measure the readiness of a dish is to look at the cooking time!
