re: How do you heat your boudin?

Why?

Makes sense if he doesn't have a steamer/rice cooker, and wants the same outcome

I don't really like grilled/smoked boudin.

Why wait like twelve hours to heat up a link of boudin?

Have you ever used an immersion circulator?

No I have no idea how long it takes but I do know it is a silly way to heat up a link of boudin. But I have seen people discuss their technique for sous vide hot dogs.

Your idea of a colander would also work and probably more efficiently, but you could throw a frozen link of boudin in and have it ready in 30 minutes or maybe less using an immersion circulator. I don't think it's as outrageous as you're acting like it is. I doubt he's referring to using it for hours to heat up the boudin. If he is, then that's stupid

Thawed links. Large Dutch oven. 1/3 inch of water in the bottom. Set a rack with 2-3 links on it in the bottom of the pot; should have some clearance from the water. Stack another rack on top of that one with an additional 2-3 links if desired. Bring to a boil uncovered. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover for 10-15 minutes. Basically the same as the rice cooker method.

Cast iron skillet a little EVOO or oil of choice. Heat skillet on med heat. Add a couple links and lower heat a little. Watch it closely. Turn with tongs gently. Brown all sides. I really don’t have a problem with it breaking at all.

I like it smoked or grilled or steamed or microwaved ( lower power and increased time). shite, I like boudin. Grew up in Acadia Parish in the’60’s. No bad way to have boudin. Do what you like. Try new ways. Don’t tell people that they do it wrong!

Interested in trying this in soups vide. What was the temp/time?

Not really sous vide I guess bc the boudin is already cooked. All my boudin is already vacuum packed in the freezer, so I just drop a pack in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes or so until the boudin is hot all the way through.

Easiest way is baking it like others have said. Flip them after 10 min or so.

I haven't tried air fryer but that may be even better...just check it more often than baking as it'll heat faster. I worry more about it busting with an air fryer blowing that hot air on it...boudin doesn't like direct heat which causes it to bust.
