Cooking Tip

Italian Sausages

• When buying Italian sausages, you will need to decide whether you want them sweet, mild or hot. When in doubt about guest's preferences, always select the sweet sausages. To work ahead, you can freeze the Italian sausages after you simmer/cook them.
• It is suggested you avoid boiling your Italian Sausage. Boiling them often makes them "chewy".
• A grill is the absolute best way to cook your Italian sausage; however, if a grill is not doable, use a frying pan. You need not add much fat, if any, because the sausages have their own fat. In your frying pan, fry them until they turn a nice, brown color on all sides.

Cooking Italian Sausage in a Skillet

• Place sausages in a skillet and add water about halfway up the sides of the sausages. Cook on medium high heat until all of the water dissipates, then brown them. This leaves them well cooked, juicy, brown and with some of the fat removed.
