Pro Tips for the Best Results

Flip for Even Crisping

Turning halfway through ensures uniform browning and texture.

Use a Thermometer

Even fully cooked sausage should be reheated to 165°F for optimal texture and safety.

Don’t Overcrowd

Make sure there's space between links to ensure even airflow and crisping.

Watch the Final Minute

Maple sugar can brown quickly—keep an eye out during the last 1–2 minutes of cooking.
