Sausages

[gollob]

On a recent "Four In A Bed" programme , two of the contestant's on there said the best way to cook a sausage was put it in the oven. Being an ex butcher I maintain the best way is by frying. Putting sausages in the oven makes the skins tough, especially natural skins

[Old_Geezer]

Each to their own. Sounds rather subjective.

[ummmm]

I agree. Make the skins very tough.

I have yet to find a sausage without those prices of fat added. Yuk.

[RATTER15]

I like mine fried but a little healthier to grill them. No not in the oven!

[retrocop]

I usually fry or when wife is watching grill. Never put in the oven unless "Toad in the Hole" Never prick the bangers either.

I am also an ex butcher retired, i cook my sausages in the halogen oven, very tasty, the thing nowadays most of the sausages are in synthetic skins not natural sausage gut, i blame the supermarkets for wanting them all the same weight and size, in saying that i thin natural skins are very expensive now.

I was only saing the other day, as I was turning sausages over in the frying pan, somebody should come up with a square sausage it would make life a lot easier and get a nice even finish all over!

[sandyRoe]

You'd have a square meal there, then ☺

[gingejbee]

Unless the oven is on for other things, it would be a pricey way of cooking a few bangers.

What a good idea Margo....but only about 50 years too late. (Lorne Sausages)

I have prepared many a square sausage in my time, beef and pork, i do prefer the pork one, frying is fine tastes great, but the halogen is more healthy.

When I work in pro kitchens we always cook sausges in the oven. The main place I work cooks 10 kg of sausages and 15kg of bacon every morning just for breakfast rolls. You would need a lot of pans to fry that lot!

[hc4361]

On yesterday's FIAB the bacon was deep fried. I had to rewind and watch it again as I didn't believe my eyes.

[MargoTester]

Trust me to be too late! Must say that the picture looks more like a meat loaf than a sausage. I can't grill anything I always burn it. I quite often use a griddle pan brushed with a little oil that way nothing actually sits in fat.

[mccfluff]

i grill mine

i need sausage now

[mushroom25]

grrrrrr! sausages!


i'll get me coat........

[saintpeter48]

Grill them then put in slow cooker with 2 Tbs Worcester sauce, 3 Tbs Branston pickle along with sliced onions that have been fried for 5 minutes, add 2 Tbs flour and fry for further minute or two before adding pint of chicken stock, chuck it all in the slow cooker for about 6 hours, serve with mash, peas and carrots, blooming lovely!!
