Put it in the fridge overnight, and then cook how you normally do.

Pot of boiling water. Once its boiling put boudin in it and return to boil. Once its boiling, cut the fire off. In 15 minutes it taste just like it was fresh.

I definitely read this as frozen bourdain and was slightly confused for a second there

Let it thaw. Then I pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds bursts, check it to see if it is hot enough, if not, another 30 second burst and it should be hot enough to eat.


I usually cut mine up in the casing and eat it with some Creole Mustard. My wife cuts hers out of the casing and eats it like that.

Sous vide and then the grill for a few marks.

Let it thaw overnight in the fridge and if you want it "steamed" you can put it in a double boiler on low boil and steam it for 10-15 minutes, covered.

I like to bring a pot of water to near boil, just til the water smokes on the top.. keep the water at that temperature and drop the boudin in the water for 15 minutes.

Doesn't boiling boudin in water just dilute the boudin or make it watery? Or is the casing waterproof?

After thawed, wrap in wet paper towel and microwave. That's a very basic method that won't mess with the texture or flavor

It makes the skin more spongey.. and you can wrap your lips around the link and suck it like you supposed to.

reheating Frozen Boudin


I thaw it on the counter then put it on a rack in the oven. Crispy skin is where it's at baw.

Nope. I don't boil the boudin because it will break the casing. It's not a sponge. You want the hot water to heat it. If it watered it down or diluted it I wouldn't do it.

You can grill it or smoke it. It really just needs reheating, basically.

Sometimes, I put it in a baking dish, sprinkle it with just a little water, cover in plastic wrap with a few holes punched in it and warm in the microwave on about 60-70% power until hot.

If I need to warm a lot at one time, I do the same thing in a larger dish, cover with foil and warm in the oven until hot. Another method of steaming, for the most part.

Thaw, at least mostly, then oven until heated through. I’ve done it plenty. Can’t beat fresh, but they’re still great.

What Mad Dog said or you can defrost and drop them in a deep fryer for a very short time to re-crisp them.

U just want the inside? Thaw then microwave

U want crispy casing? Thaw then bake at low temp... 225ish for a while. Can use olive oil on it or not.... but slow bake will crisp skin.


This thread is somethin esle
