Perfect fried sausage: Tips for achieving that ideal crispiness

Thanks to its crispy skin and juicy interior, fried sausage works great for both breakfast and dinner. However, it can be quite fatty, so adding an extra portion of oil isn't necessarily recommended. There are other ways to achieve that perfect crispiness.

Many fried sausage enthusiasts know the importance of a perfectly crispy skin and juicy meat inside. Frying is a true art that leads to less fat but still allows for great taste. Fortunately, mastering it isn't difficult if you know a few simple rules.

Putting cold sausage on a hot pan leads to unevenly cooked meat and burnt skin. To avoid this, take the sausage from the fridge about 40 minutes before frying. Leaving it at room temperature ensures that the meat warms evenly, making frying easier.

One common mistake is frying sausage in a cold pan with vegetable oil. Low temperature and vegetable fat don't contribute to achieving ideal results.

So, how should you fry the sausage? Heat the pan well and use goose lard, which better withstands high temperatures. This speeds up frying and makes the sausage exceptionally crispy.

To turn the sausage on the pan, it's worth using tongs instead of a fork. Punctures cause valuable juices to leak out, resulting in dry and tasteless meat. Proper spacing between the sausages during frying is also important, ensuring they retain a uniform temperature and cook evenly.

Following these simple rules, you can easily prepare perfectly fried sausage without excess oil. This way, it will be crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and delightful with intense flavour. Bon appétit!
