Ingredients

  • 4 hot dogs
  • water for boiling

Instructions

  • Hot dogs can be made with cellulose casings or natural casings. If you have sausages with cellulose ones, remove them before cooking.
  • Choose a saucepan or a pot according to the number of wieners you have, as at least 4 sausages require 1 liter of water to be boiled in. Fill this pot with water, place it on high heat and let it boil. When water boils, add hot dogs and wait for the water to reboil.
  • Lower the heat down and let sausages simmer for 2-5 minutes (on average 3 minutes).
  • Take cooked sausages out of the water at once! If you leave them in hot water, it can result in their taste and not in a good way. Be careful not to burn yourself; use tongs or a fork to take them out of the water.
  • Leave boiled sausages to cool down a bit or immediately use them.
