Priking Sausages When Grilling

[gumboil]

Are you meant to prik (deliberate spelling mistake - don't want to be censored!) sausages before grilling them.

I only ever grill sausages and they are straightforward standard size pork ones. I can't decide if there's any advantage in letting the juices run out during the grilling. I suppose it does make a bit more mess in the grill pan.

Thanks

ermmmm, natural casings still exist.

My butcher only uses natural skins and it doesn't take much effort to seek them out.

I always prick mine beforehand when shallow frying them... such fun hearing them hizz and sizzle not knowing their fate.
