Sausage Cooking Tips

Tips for Cooking Linked Sausages

There are different types of linked sausage which require different preparation techniques.

Fresh Sausage, which includes fresh bratwurst, fresh Italian sausage and fresh kielbasa, is not cooked during processing and must be cooked thoroughly and completely before consuming. Fresh sausage may be cooked in two ways. It can be parboiled and then fried or grilled, or slow cooked in a fry pan or grill.

To parboil, place sausage links in a heavy skillet. Add water to cover sausage and par-boil until sausage is grey throughout (about 10 to 15 minutes.) The sausage then can be fried until nicely browned.

Parboiled sausage also may be grilled slowly over coals, turning frequently until grey-brown throughout.

For a special taste treat, par-boil sausage in beer prior to grilling. To use this method, substitute beer for water. According to Peter LaFrance, author of Cooking and Eating With Beer, stronger flavored beers tend to impart more flavor to sausage. Beers that are heavy on malt will impart a sweeter flavor, which may complement a strong sausages. Lagers, when used this way, tend to be more bitter and complement a sweeter sausage well. Onions can be added to the beer while parboiling for additional flavor.

Sausages also may be direct grilled. Using this method, it is extremely important that the sausage cook slowly, thoroughly and evenly over mature coals.

Cooked Sausage like wieners, knockwurst, cooked bratwurst and smoked sausage need only be hearted since it was cooked thoroughly during processing. This can be done in a variety of ways. To steam precooked sausage, bring a pan of water or beer to a boil. Remove the pan from heat and add sausage. Cover the pan and let it stand 10-15 minutes. It is not advisable to add sausages to vigorously boiling water because it may cause them to split.

Cooked sausage also can be baked in casserole dish, microwaved, grilled or pan-fried.

All sausages should be turned with a tongs or a turner, not with a fork, because puncturing the casing allows the flavorful juices to escape.


 

All About Sausage from Silver Star Meats

Sausage

Take a tour of Eastern Europe with Silver Star sausages. Our old World recipes reflect the time-honored old country ethnic traditions in the Roman hills with our spicy Italian sausage; dinner in a German rathskeller with our rich bratwurst and bockwurst; a mystery on the Orient Express – who DID eat all the Silver Star Slovenian sausage? – and, of course, American’s proud Polish heritage packed into every spicy bite of Silver Star’s course and finely ground kielbasa.

We make our fine sausages with only the freshest, choice pork and beef cuts and flavor them the traditional, old country way with special blends of natural – not imitation or liquid spices.

All of our sausages are fresh as they can be. Silver Star pork sausages are made and delivered fresh to your favorite supermarket daily.
