Questions about Premium sausage
What makes a sausage “premium”?
There is no universal definition: the word is usually a marketing description, not a guarantee of a particular meat content or recipe. Compare the ingredient list and the stated proportion of meat, and look for a clear description of the meat, seasoning and casing.
How do you cook premium sausages in a frying pan?
Add a little oil to a pan over medium heat and turn the sausages regularly for about 12–15 minutes, until browned all over and steaming hot in the centre. If you have a food thermometer, check that the centre reaches 75 °C; avoid pricking them, which lets juices escape.
Can you cook premium sausages in the oven?
Arrange them in a single layer in a roasting tin and cook at 200 °C (180 °C fan) for about 20–25 minutes, turning once. Make sure the centre is steaming hot, or reaches 75 °C on a food thermometer.
How should you store premium sausages?
Keep uncooked sausages refrigerated in their original packaging and follow its use-by date; after opening, wrap them well and cook promptly. Freeze them before the use-by date if needed, then thaw in the fridge and cook thoroughly.
What goes well with premium sausages?
Serve them with mashed potato and onion gravy, or add them to a tray bake with potatoes, onions and peppers. For a lighter meal, try them with lentils, mustard and a sharp green salad.
Can you use premium sausages instead of sausage meat?
Yes: slit the casing and squeeze the meat out for stuffing, meatballs or pasta sauce. Sausage meat is already removed from its casing, so it is quicker to portion; season your dish cautiously because sausage filling is often already salty.
