How long to cook sausages

Two things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 12:00

How thick are they?

Fresh or pre-cooked?

Pre-cooked sausages only need heating through and colouring.

How to tell without a timer

Cooked through and 71°C / 160°F at the centre — no pink.

Sausages split when the pan is too hot, not when the timer is too long. Medium heat throughout.

How it goes

  1. Medium heat, and turn them as they colour.
  2. Keep turning. Low and slow beats hot and split.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
