Pan-Fried Sausages
Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy within — a quick and satisfying way to cook sausages in a skillet.
Story
This simple technique gives ordinary sausages a delicious golden crust while keeping the insides moist. The quick parboil step ensures even cooking without any risk of a burnt exterior.
Ingredients
Sausages
6 links (about 400g)
Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons
Water
enough to cover sausages
Instructions
1
Rinse and prep
Give the sausages a quick rinse under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2
Parboil briefly
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Drop in the sausages and let them cook for about 5 minutes. This parboiling helps them cook evenly and removes some of the excess fat.
3
Pan-fry until golden
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the parboiled sausages and cook, turning occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until they're nicely browned on all sides and heated through.
