Simmer sausages before cooking?

yellowbear · 2015-11-14 18:04:32

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?

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.

I could possibly understand it if you're barbeque ing stuff, but we've always managed to grill our sausages (not BBQ) perfectly with no raw bits without pre-cooking them.
The only sausages I'd consider simmering is the tinned hot-dog type. Well, I would if I ever bought them.:D
