You’ve probably been cooking sausages wrong your whole life

THEY’RE a Full English staple and much-loved sandwich filling across the UK – but could you have been cooking sausages wrong all these years?

While many of us stick our bangers under the grill, bake them or fry them quickly on a sizzling heat, there may in fact be a better way.

It’s not that the above methods are totally wrong – it’s just that we might not be letting our sausages live up to their full potential in the taste department, according to .

For an extra-delicious batch of bangers, the website reckons frying sausages in a pan on a low heat with a knob of unsalted butter for 30 MINUTES is key.

Apparently, this method gives extra flavour and texture.

Butter compliments sausage fat better than oil as well as lubricating the pan – but unsalted should be used otherwise the salt will crystallise and collect in your pan.

Once your meaty treats are in the pan turn them occasionally, and it’s really important to refrain from ramping the heat up and cooking them quickly.

TheWhyChef.com says: “The higher the heat, the less the fat renders, the faster the skins burn, and the less likely you are to have a cooked centre before the outer edges start to get tough.”

So ignore the mouth-watering aroma and wait it out…

And it turns out you may have been making the scrambled eggs to go with your brekkie wrong too.
