Special Tips:
- Cook time depends on number of ounces per link/patty.
- To broil or grill: place sausage links three to four inches from the heat source.
- Rotate sausage links through cooking time.
- Cook fresh sausage to an internal temperature of 165ºF.
- All sausages should be turned with a tongs or a turner, not with a fork, because puncturing the casing allows the flavorful juices to escape.
- It is not advisable to add sausages to vigorously boiling water because it may cause them to split.
