    Red face Sausages

    Does any one have a trick on how to stop sausages from curling up when frying?? A pet hate of mine , you just can't seem to get and even cook thru out . I've tried pricking them, standing stack against each other. Oh please is there someone out there who can help me before it all gets to much. Angus??

    Try cooking them slowly on a low heat.

    Cheers

    Buy good quality snags that are not full of water.

    I recently tried some venison sausages that @Shearer got made up. They were the best I have had in NZ by far, and didn't shrink or curl up.
    Maybe ask him for the recipe

    dont use waterlogged sausages. try to get ones with natural casings not artificial. low heat until almost cooked then feel free to turn up the heat if you like the outsides crispy

    Agreed for anything other than sausages. Just seems to keep them straight, and juicy.

    Pet hate of mine too
    Pan or hotplate at cooking temp. We use rice bran oil
    Outside of the curve down and as it straightens roll saussies in the oil. Rolling when hot shrinks the skin so no problems later as the plate heats up

    Hellers London Pride are the go-to saussies in our house

    Put the sausages into a pot, cover with cold water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes, drain then let cool down. sometimes I fry them, sometimes I wrap them in streaky bacon and roast them with veges and olive oil
