Sausages can be cooked perfectly, even on all sides, by using one simple hack when frying them in a pan. Sausages taste best when they are completely cooked on all sides. However, thanks to their shape, that is not always possible.
Plus, they tend to bend and change shape when they are cooked, making it even harder for the pan to touch the hot surface to brown. But one Reddit user has come up with a genius hack for cooking sausages evenly on all sides when using a frying pan, and it is so simple yet effective. They shared a short clip on the social media site, showing how they were browning their sausages on a frying pan.
However, they had the trouble many of us tend to experience when we cook sausages this way, that only two sides of it brown while the other two sides are much paler. But this person's simple trick changes that. They take the sausages off the pan after they had been cooking, showing how only two of the four sides of the sausage had been browned.
They then use small wooden cocktail sticks to fix that problem. After the sausages have been taken off the pan and placed on a plate, they pierce them twice, once on each end, and stick two sausages together. That way, the sausages can be placed back onto the pan on the pale, more uncooked sides.
The video shows the home cook turning the sausages as they stay together with the cocktail sticks and how they are able to get all of the sides perfectly brown. "I just got fed up of chasing sausages round the frying pan and had a lightbulb moment," they wrote in the comments section of the post. The cook's video made quite an impression and people took to the comments section to share their thoughts on it.
One person wrote: "That, sir, Is f*****g genius". Another commented: "After years of cooking sausages, I've recently found sticking them in the air fryer for 7-8 minutes the best way to cook them." A third said: "I do them under the grill.
Gets the fat out and you can turn then a little at a time on the rack. Works for me.".
