Pro Tips for the Best Results

Use a Thermometer

Always ensure sausages reach 165°F internally for best texture and safety.

Flip Halfway

Turning ensures both sides crisp evenly.

Don’t Overcrowd the Basket

Leave space for hot air to circulate—cook in batches if needed.

Keep Whole While Cooking

Slice only after air frying to keep the sausage juicy and intact.
