Kayem Beef & Pork Old Tyme Frankfurters
What it is
These are classic frankfurters made with a blend of beef and pork. They are encased in natural casings, which gives them a satisfying snap when bitten. The 'Old Tyme' designation suggests a traditional flavor profile and preparation method. They are a popular choice for grilling, boiling, or pan-frying, offering a familiar and comforting taste.
How people cook with it
Frankfurters are a versatile staple in many kitchens, perfect for quick meals and casual gatherings.
- Grilled for barbecues
- Boiled for hot dogs
- Pan-fried for breakfast
- Added to casseroles
To prepare, you can grill them over medium heat until nicely browned and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Boiling is another simple method; place them in simmering water for about 5 minutes until plump. For a quick stovetop option, pan-fry them in a little oil until they develop a pleasant char. They can also be added to other dishes, like baked beans or pasta bakes, for a savory element. Ensure they are cooked to a safe internal temperature.
How it differs from similar foods
The natural casing distinguishes these frankfurters from those with artificial or skinless casings. This casing provides a firmer texture and a distinctive 'snap' when you bite into them. The blend of beef and pork also contributes to a rich, classic hot dog flavor that many people prefer.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a traditional and satisfying hot dog experience.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused frankfurters promptly. They should be kept in their original packaging or transferred to an airtight container. Properly stored, they can be kept in the refrigerator for several days. Freezing is also an option for longer storage, maintaining their quality for several months.
