Cooking Instructions

In answer to the question, “How do I cook them?” we offer the following suggestions.  Cook from thawed when possible (place in fridge the night before).  If cooking from frozen, place the sausages in a pot of very hot (not boiling) water for about 10 minutes, then follow instructions below.

BAR-B-Q: Medium-low for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning until brown on all sides

TOASTER OVEN/OVEN: On parchment paper-lined tray, cook at 325° for 35-40 minutes

BROIL: On “High”, cook until brown on one side; turn and brown (approximately 15 minutes in total)

FRY: In skillet with a small amount of stock, water, or oil, cook and turn until brown.  To ensure proper internal temperature, finish in microwave for approximately 30 seconds per sausage

NOTES: WHEN SERVING SLICES OF SAUSAGE (ON APPETIZER TRAYS, FOR EXAMPLE), COOK FIRST, THEN CUT.
