Add the water to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, remove the pan from the heat source immediately.
Place the Frankfurter sausages in the hot (not boiling) water. The ideal water temperature is around 75°C/ 167°F. This will ensure that the skin of the sausages won't burst.
Leave the sausages in the water for approximately 8 - 10 minutes to warm up. Then remove and serve immediately.
Serve with a crusty role, a slice of rye bread and either mustard, ketchup or horseradish.
