Recipe Notes
When cooking meat, you need to ensure that it is heated thoroughly, right through the center, to ensure you aren’t consuming any bacteria that can make you ill.

Sausages should be heated to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit or more for safety. You can use a meat thermometer to check this.

Fatter sausages will take longer to heat through – maybe as long as 40 minutes.

Before consuming your cooked sausages, cut them open to ensure no pinkness remains inside. When pricked with a fork, the juices should run clear.
