Simmer sausages before cooking?

Does anyone do this?
I noticed on the back of the pack it says for best results to simmer for 10-12 mins before cooking.
What difference does it make to the sausages?

Its just to ensure the insides are thoroughly cooked, before sizzling the skins.

Never, ever heard of simmering sausages before unless they're of the tinned variety in brine....yuk! Or Bratwurst. These are sometimes simmered in beer.0

My husband always does this, I think it's weird. The skins pop off if you over do it which is gross. Apparently good to do if you're planning on bbq ing them.0

I've checked the back of a pack of Co-op Truly Irresistible sausages and there's no mention at all of simmering before cooking.
Just timings/temperatures for grill & oven.0 -
Can't think of anything worse!0

Just bumping this thread up as I'd love to know what sausages yellowbear bought that advises simmering before cooking.

My DD used to steam her sausages before browning to ensure the sausage meat was properly cooked without having to burn the skins or cut the sausages in half to finish off. Said it didn't make a difference to the taste but she was happier knowing her kids weren't eating raw sausage meat.

I've seen it done with very thick butchers sausages prior to finishing of on the BBQ. Makes sense to me. Cooked sausages with the correct colour and no raw bits. Works with bone in chicken as well.0
