Are all these sausages cooked already?

28 comments

1. Yes, all of them are cooked and can be eaten without cooking.

2. Out of these options, only Urho seems suitable for your purpose. Yes, they’re all cooked.

3. Yes, they’re all precooked! The package of Urho is the type of sausage generally brought out to cook on a campfire. Personal recommendation if you like your sausages meatier, try Wilhelm or Kabanossi.

   Also, I recommend trying the HK Sininen cold (peel the plastic shelling off first!) with just some mustard, the way it’s supposed to be eaten. (/s but not really)

4. As said, safe to eat even as is.

   My favourites include Kabanossi (traditional, not the smoky or bacon or cheese version) and the thinner, wiener style “Yönakki”.

   Of the ones on the table, I’d eat them all without issues.

   Remember to bring mustard!

5. They are. You’re looking for the words “valmis syötäväksi” or “kypsennetty”. The HK sausages’ casing is not edible (this is detailed in “makkarankuori ei ole syötävä”).

   Usually sausages that aren’t cooked are labelled as “raakamakkara”.

   Strongly urge you to try Wilhelm Valkosipuli-Homejuusto (garlic & blue cheese).

6. “Raakamakkara” (Raw sausages) are… well, raw. If there is no term “Raaka” in packaging, the sausage is already done and can be eaten as is.

   All the products you are showing here are perfectly eatable. At worst, you might want to check if there is “kuori ei ole syötävää” or something similar, which some sausages have. It means that the skin is not edible, but AFAIK all these are perfectly fine.

   Also yes, they are all better after roasting on fire.

7. Urho is the only one Finns would roast on an open fire. But all of them are already cooked, just take the skin off (it’s plastic) of Sininen lenkki and you’re good to go.

   Also the best way to eat nakki’s is by standing in front of an open fridge in the middle of the night in your underwear. Even better if you don’t turn your lights on to hide your shame better.

8. Sure.

   Peel the “Sininen lenkki” before you grill it. The casing isn’t edible and you probably don’t want to melt it / burn it on the sausage.

9. The Urho sausages are ideal for open fire or grilling.

   Nakkis are just hot dogs, and the sininen lenkki is what you’d call an “oven sausage”, best cooked in an oven. There’s a dish of the same name (uunimakkara) which is just those cooked with cheese wedged in, served with various condiments. They’re also the best kind of sausage for makkaraperunat. Just make sure to remove the hard shell before using (I think it’s edible but certainly not pleasant).

   And yes they’re all pre-cooked. Raw ones are usually labeled “raakanakki/raakamakkara”.

10. I usually take HK Sininen lenkki, the one in the photo.

11. Yes. All of them should cook nicely on fire, just take the peel off of the sininen and spin it more than the urho sausage to prevent burning, same with nakki

12. Hey guys, do you get chicken sausages here?

13. Wilhelmi is my favorite campfire grilling sausage. Just the normal type, because the ones with cheese or sauces can burn your tongue when roasted.

14. Don’t insult sausages by calling that crap a sausage. Frankfurter or Weiner maybe.. but never a sausage.

15. 

    Will work as a laxative too. Better cook them.

16. ready to eat, better with heat tho’.

17. Unpopular opinion: Nakki better than makkara🙌

18. These are C grade sausages and weiners.

19. The meat is boiled when they’re made, so they’re safe to eat uncooked. You’re going to want to skin the 2 big ones though.

21. All beef if u can find them. Nice on the grill when the fat renders. Grill some onions.

22. Only sausages that say ”raakamakkara” are uncooked. Uncooked ones usually have statements also about the fact they need to be cooked.

    Btw, pretty horrid options there but that’s subjective

23. UR HO

24. don’t have to cook but depends on the dish

25. That Urho is grill sausage. It’s ment for your open fire experience.
    Nakki is for kids who do not necessarily eat whole sausage and/or are impatient to wait for the real thing. They come ready in matter of a minute.

    Lenkki is best used as cold cuts on rye bread or in scandinavian hash or some casserole type dishes.

    All of them require some decent mustard.

26. Strong recommendations for Atria Wilhelm Valkosipuli-Sinihomejuusto (garlic-blue cheese). 

27. Just came back after playing in the snow with the kids – Thank you to everyone! Appreciate your help, and suggestions of other sausages too! Going to try everything I can while I’m here!

28. I prefer Kivikylän – Huilun Tuhti sausage contains 87% meat and also their JuustoJalapeno Tuhti which IS cheese jalapeno sausage (Make small hole to skin before grilling so you won’t get burned with exploding cheese)
