Sausage comes in all shapes and sizes. In my case, most recently with pork sausage links for breakfast this morning, about 1/2" in diameter and 4" long, in a frying pan on medium to high heat, hot enough to sizzle at least, 2 or 3 minutes on one side and flip for 2 or 3 minutes on the other side. I sometimes buy a pound or two of ground sausage and make patties about 4" in diameter and 1/2" thick. Again 2 or 3 minutes per side. When you cut through the sausage, you should see a constant color throughout, NO pink at all. Bigger links, like hot dog size or larger, take longer of course, about double the time per side. I love sausage, which is why I rarely have it so I will never get tired of the fabulous taste and ALWAYS appreciate what I have. I always save the fat to use when I make eggs over easy or when I fry up some hash browns.
Pork sausage should be cooked to an internal temperature of about 155 degrees. Beef sausage should go to about 150-155 degrees. If it has poultry in it (chicken or turkey) it should be a minimum internal temp of 165 degrees.
Ground meat always needs to be cooked longer.
On the grill I would say about 8-12 minutes. On the stove, I would say about 6-10 minutes, turning only once to brown both sides. You can also cook in the microwave but I do NOT suggest this because you will lose the "smoked" flavor of the sausage.
depends on the sausage
smoked sausages, you just brown the outside to your liking
raw sausage, you cook until its browned all the way through
it also varies by cooking type: boiled won't take as long as grilled, but it won't taste as good.
best thing to do is boil them first and then tray freeze them in the freezer - take them out as you need them for a quick turn on the grill! I've heard thats what the sausage vendors do
until they are brown not pink!
till they get red >)
