Pro Tips for the Best Results

Don’t Overcrowd the Basket

Leave space between sausages for even air circulation and crisping.

Flip Halfway for Uniform Browning

Turning the sausages helps both sides cook evenly and develop color.

Use a Thermometer

Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F, especially when cooking from frozen.

Add to Other Dishes
