Since fresh kielbasa is raw meat, you will need to boil it first before proceeding with any other cooking methods for browning of the skin.
You will want to boil fresh kielbasa for around minutes. However, boiling fresh kielbasa is not as simple as chucking it in a pot of hot water. Proper technique in boiling is crucial in not breaking the casing of the fresh kielbasa. You should add enough water just to cover the sausages. In my experience, bring the water to boil over high heat.
Reduce the temperature to low heat and allow it to simmer for minutes. This will prevent the kielbasa from bursting. To bring some extra kick of flavor to the fresh kielbasa, add some spices into the water when boiling.
Herbs and spices such as onions, peppercorns, garlic cloves, marjoram, or bay leaves will be best. This will restore the flavor that may be lost through the various cooking methods. Once your fresh kielbasa is boiled, you can serve immediately. Alternatively, you can make it crispier by using one of the methods below.
Note: If you are dealing with frozen fresh kielbasa, be sure to properly defrost it before boiling. Baking or roasting your fresh kielbasa in the oven can give delicious results.
Poaching is done at a temperature below the boil, usually to degrees Fahrenheit. This cooks the meats more gently, preventing the proteins from toughening. In the case of sausage, it is also less likely to result in burst casings and flavor loss.
If the sausage will be eaten without any further cooking, it should be poached until the internal temperature reaches a food-safe level of degrees Fahrenheit. If it will later be finished by another method, such as grilling or frying, the kielbasa can be poached to an internal temperature of to degrees. The lower temperature usually requires 15 to 20 minutes' poaching, and 20 to 25 minutes is required for the higher temperature.
The only way to know the temperature with certainty is to check it periodically with an instant-read thermometer. One of the most important reasons to poach at a lower temperature, rather than boiling at a higher temperature, is to preserve the texture of the sausage. To boil kielbasa, simply place the sausage in a saucepan and cover it with water.
Place the pan on a burner and turn to medium heat. Allow the water to come to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover the pan. Leave the pan on the stove for 25 minutes. If you have any other kielbasa, you can eat it right away as it is already fully smoked! All you have to do is heat it up.
To boil sausages, simply place them one by one into a pot of boiling water and let them simmer. Add the kielbasa to the boiling water in the saucepan. The addition of the kielbasa lowers the water's temperature slightly. Wait until the water returns to a rolling boil, and then lower the temperature of the stove until the water is only at a simmer. Cook the kielbasa in the simmering water for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the sausages reaches degrees Fahrenheit.
