Sausages are a favourite item to make at home for many Brits but a chef has shared where you could be going wrong when cooking them. The popular food item is loved for its versatility - sausages can be eaten for breakfast as part of a full English, for lunch as a sandwich or pasta, or even for dinner in dishes such as bangers and mash. While you may think cooking sausages is fairly simple, making them perfectly can be harder than it looks.
One of the most common mistakes people make is cooking them on too high a temperature as too much heat can burn the outside and leave the inside raw, say experts at Mui Kitchen . You should wait until the skillet is hot enough before adding sausages to the pan. By doing this, it can make a huge difference to your final result.
If you wait until it is hot, your sausages will have a better chance of becoming crispy with a golden outside - but they won’t lose the flavour and juiciness on the inside. You should put your pan on a medium heat and add a teaspoon of oil. Make sure not to put too much oil into the pan as sausages have their own fat so this can mean they become greasy.
Another tip is to not poke the sausages - many people do this before cooking but experts say this can cause the meat to become dry. Sausage casings hold the meat together but they also serve another important function in retaining the meat's moisture. Prodding the casing causes all the fats and juices in the meat to seep out as it cooks, wasting all the flavor.
