It's highly unlikely they steamed the sausages at 350 °F. Much more likely they steamed them at 175 °C, which gives the sausages that little bit more zest.
I'm curious how this was done at standard atmosphere.

#43Those sound delicious! I wish there were a way to get them, other than buying a car (I like VWs, but don't need one). [UPDATE]: Maybe you can get them separate: https://e-center-knauer.edeka-shops.de/en/all-products/chill...
In Germany, you can find them in many EDEKA supermarkets (the biggest supermarket chain in germany).

#44Car manufacturers have all sorts of fun products. Check out the Volvo Sound CD 9512935 featuring such hits as "sinus sweep" and "the final countdown" https://www.volvooempartsdirect.com/oem-parts/volvo-sound-cd... https://jalopnik.com/volvo-once-released-an-entire-album-of-... https://www.discogs.com/release/11949117-Various-Sound-CD-Vo...
It seems to me that Jalopnik article is entirely based on a misunderstanding of what actually is on that CD. I get it's meant to put the sound system under stress in a controlled way, in order to _trigger_ the squeaks and rattles the customer laments during regular usage; it's not actually a recording of squeaks and rattles. "Another 100% correct hot take"? Way to miss the point entirely.

#45Fact of the day: Wiener are strictly called Frankfurter in Vienna because their inventor was a German who moved to Austria.
Danish Pastries are called Austrian Pastries in Denmark. In Austria they are called Pastries.

Not at equilibrium, sausages are cooler then the (steamy) air.
In an open atmosphere, steam is 212F/100C (slightly less for higher altitudes).
The point is "steam" doesn't exist at 350F unless it's in a pressure cooker. It's a valid preparation technique but not common in German kitchens from my experience.

#47Curry and ketchup is a surprisingly good combination.
It's the basis for the world famous Berliner Currywurst. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currywurst
"Die Erfindung der Currywurst" by Uwe Timm, which claims that the Currywurst was actually invented in Hamburg, was required reading when I went to high school in Hamburg ;)
Re: Volkswagen Originalteil
#48Contains a typical spelling mistake you find suprisingly often in English text when using German words. Swapping 'ie' to 'ei'. In this case 'Weiner' (wrong, someone who is crying) instead of 'Wiener' (correct, a type of sausage). One I've seen the other day is 'Kreigsmarine' instead of 'Kriegsmarine'. Anyone knows why this happens?
I think Americans pronounce names like Weinstein as 'winesteen'. So perhaps the pronunciation of the latter syllable makes German origin diphthongs confusing.

Steam exists at 350 degrees in the same way bread can be cooked at 350 degrees and come out moist.
The bad assumption here is that all the water flashes off instantly, or that the temperature isn't referring to the thing you're cooking.

#50Fun Trivia: When Volkswagen announced that their canteen would offer vegetarian and vegan alternatives, Germany's ex chancellor Schröder made the headlines with deriding this decision and calling the sausage the "Kraftriegel der Arbeiter" (worker's power bar).
Had to check this and it turns out that what you're saying is not quite correct:
The canteen stopped serving meat altogether which meant that the famous "VW-Currywurst" wouldn't be available anymore. That's what Schröder complained about, not the availability of vegan alternatives. He actually praised those in the same sentence.
