🌭🔥 Top Chef Tips for Perfect Sausages Every Time! 🔥🌭
Tired of sausages that aren’t quite right? We’ve asked expert chefs for their secrets, and they all agree on one key thing: NEVER prick your sausages! 🙅♂️
Here’s why: According to culinary pros like Richard Turner, pricking sausages punctures the casing and lets those delicious juices escape—along with the flavour! So, keep them intact for juicy, mouthwatering results.
Chef Calum Smith from HECK Sausages adds that bringing sausages to room temperature before cooking helps with even cooking, making sure the outside doesn’t burn before the middle is done. 🕰️
When it comes to cooking, the method matters! Here’s how the experts do it:
🥄 **Frying:** Choose an oil with a high smoke point—think sunflower or groundnut. Cook on medium heat for about 12-15 minutes, turning frequently. For a more relaxed cook, go low and slow, about 30 minutes, and sprinkle with water if they’re browning too quickly.
🔥 **Barbecuing:** Richard suggests blanching in boiling water for extra delicacy. BBQ master Big Nath has a bold method—place them directly on white-hot coals for a barbecue flavour that screams fire-cooked goodness. Turn them regularly and ensure they’re cooked through for that perfect char!
And for a unique twist on traditional bangers, Calum recommends adding a splash of cider or beer with onions during cooking. This adds incredible depth and can also be used to whip up a tasty gravy! 🍻
So next time you’re cooking up a storm, remember these tips for sausages that are bound to impress.
