Best way to Cook Fresh Sausage
Posted: Tue Feb 21, 2017 12:58 pm
Hi Guys
I'm toying with different methods of cooking Fresh Sausage from Poaching to Grilling.
Recently, I tried out some in a Slow Cooker - kept measuring the slow cooker temp and maintained it around 160F. Cooked for 1 hour and check sausage internal temperature which was 160F.
I then allowed it to cook down before adding it to a pan with a little butter and browning it.
Everything about this sausage was just perfect - texture was excellent - soft yet firm with a juicy interior. One downside I found was that it lost a little bit of flavor and the salt content seemed to have got affected since it definitely needed more salt compare to when i grill this very same sausage fresh.
What suggestions can you guys offer to maintain flavor when poaching sausage?
By the way, this sausage was store bought so i have no control over upping the spice to cater for the loss.
Thanks
