How long do you boil little smokies? ›

Strong or unpleasant odor: A strong or unsavory smell is the first sign your sausage has gone bad. If your sausage has a fish-like, acidic or sour smell, you'll likely want to throw it away. Cooked sausage often has a rotten smell when it's gone bad, so even if you bought it precooked, toss it if you notice that smell.

For the stovetop, add the Little Smokies to 2-3 inches of boiling water and simmer them for 2-4 minutes. To heat them in the oven, preheat the oven to 350 degrees, place the Little Smokies in a shallow baking dish, and bake them for 12-14 minutes.

Contains a high level of saturated fat

Saturated fat is not an essential nutrient and with increasing intakes there is a increased risk of coronary heart disease (IOM 2005a; USDA and DHHS 2010). For this reason it has long been known as a "bad" fat that raises the "bad" cholesterol, LDL.

A "use by date" is the last date recommended for the use of the product while at peak quality. The product should still be safe if it has been handled properly after this date unless there is noticeable spoilage (off odor, flavor, texture). Same is true for the "once opened use within 7 days" concept.

While smoked sausage is not toxic, it's not a recommended source of protein for your dog as it contains an unhealthy level of salt and fat. Smoked sausage may also contain seasonings that are toxic to dogs such as onion or garlic powder.
