Perfecting the fried sausage: Top tips for ultimate crispiness

Fried sausage is a true classic. Thanks to its crispy skin and juicy interior, it works great for breakfast and dinner. However, it can be quite fatty on its own, so adding extra oil is not necessarily recommended. There are other ways to achieve crispiness.

Many fried sausage enthusiasts know the importance of perfectly crispy skin and juicy meat. Frying is a true art that reduces fat while still allowing for great taste. Fortunately, mastering it is not difficult if you know a few simple rules.

Take out the sausage in advance

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

Don't fear the temperature

One common mistake is frying sausage in a cold pan with vegetable oil. Low temperature and vegetable fat do not 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.

Do not cut or pierce

When turning the sausage on the pan, it is worth using tongs rather than 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 flavor. Bon appétit!
