How do you cook sausages?

[tarannau]

Oven's a bit of a no no, unless they're smothered in gravy and cooking slowly. Occasionally use the oven to finish off particularly big bangers if the stove's too full.

Slowly fried in a heavy pan's the best way for me. Turn the gas right down, only occasionally turning the snugs. That way they build up that lovely crispy crust and stay moist, with none of that splitting and squirting business.

(why does sausage talk always sound vaguely pornographic...)

Oven, grilled or fried.

Fried definitely taste the best though.

I oven them as I'm the kind of cook that forgets I'm cooking and wanders off to do other stuff resulting in much burning. Thing is I find them a bit dry if I do them in the oven. How do you do them?

Could this thread be merged with spit-roasting?

How else do you cook sausages?

I'm not putting a sausage up my fanny for anyone

I really want some sausages (fried, FWIW)

I didn't see madzone's comment, now I look like some kind of sexual deviant

 

[Pieface]

"look"

Cast-iron pan, a tiny dribble of oil, low heat for about half an hour.

This.

I usually cover them with a saucepan lid during cooking, too.

It could be a good marketing technique for the ones you make

Good way of differentiating yourself from the opposition...

Unique selling point

MICROWAVE.

or stick them in the kettle and boil them.

I cannot grill a sausage without setting off the fire alarm. So frying pan or griddle pan very slowly. Or oven if I'm doing a big batch for my sausage and lentil cider casserole.

I'm another one who puts them in the George Formby
That way they always turn out nice again.

^^ This is the correct method.

I oven cook them, otherwise you have to stand there for ages making sure they're not burning under the grill. And that's really boring.

 

[Chz]

Frequently. That's how I cook them.

 

[Yetman]

I like to broil them in madzones minge for approximately 25 minutes, turning once halfway through.

George Foreman grill solves this...

lowest heat on the hob, frying pan, five minutes a side (i tend to find sausages have five 'side')
i've never cooked them in the oven - the idea sounds absurd.

you're cooking your tea - you're supposed to attend to it
<shakes fist at people who sit down while making their tea>
my flatmate does that and i have to wash up the pans with the gunk stuck to the bottom cos he never attends to his bean/stew/slop

 

[Structaural]

Oven 180 for twenty mins, 250 for last 10 mins, turning a couple of times.

This is mainly down to lack of hob space. I prefer slo-fried to be honest. They seem a bit juicier, but there's not much in it.

 

[fogbat]

I like to cook them in the oven after pouring a bit of red wine on top of / around them.

They develop a sweet, sticky purple skin.

e2a: I've just realised that sounds really phallic

 

[Throbbing Angel]

Grill - slowly
Pan - only if it has a fucking lid spitty fuckers
Oven - slow and low wrapped in foil, loosely, like when you do white fish - stops 'em drying out as much

Radiator-if pissed
Sunny windowsill & magnifying glass - if stoned

 

[TopCat]

Poach then fry.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I grill them. Does take annoyingly long, though, but worth it.
