How long to cook raw sausages in a pan? ›

Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat, then add the sausages. A little of the fat from the sausages will start to come out as they warm up; turn the sausages in the hot fat to coat them. Keep cooking for 15-20 mins, moving them around in the pan and turning them over regularly so they all cook evenly.

Pre-cooked sausages take around 10 minutes, whereas raw ones may take up to 30 minutes. Keep in mind that boiled sausages won't be brown and crispy on the outside. However, you can brown them afterward in a frying pan with a little bit of oil. Remember that only sausage links — not patties — can be boiled.

If you're looking for an easy, healthier way to cook sausages, baking them in a large baking dish is the way to go.

Try cauliflower, squash, zucchini, carrots, asparagus, green beans, brussels sprouts, or onion. Substitute or add any of your favorite veggies, but since root veggies typically take longer to bake, cut them a bit smaller than the other vegetables.

Simmer, covered, until sausages are cooked through and water evaporates, 10 to 15 minutes. (If sausages have cooked through but water has not evaporated, uncover, and continue to cook until water evaporates.) Continue to cook sausages, turning, until crisp and golden brown all around, about 3 minutes.

To start cooking sausages on the pan, add some olive oil to your pan and wait for it to heat up. The last thing you'll want to do is put the sausages in the oil too early before the oil has had a chance to heat up. If you do this, the sausages might become too greasy and mushy which, of course, will ruin any sausage.

Use a meat thermometer to make sure your sausage is between 160 and 165 °F (71 and 74 °C). If you don't have a meat thermometer, check that the sausage is firm and has clear, runny juices. Cut it open and make sure the inside is brown, not pink.

Appearance: Raw sausages are often a pinkish color when made from pork or beef and will have a softer, more pliable texture. Precooked sausages are usually a uniform brown color and are firmer to the touch.

Use a steamer pot, fill up the bottom with about 2cm of water, turn on the heat, then cover. Once the water boils, you can start steaming. Steam the sausage for about 15 mins. Preheat a griddle or frying pan with some oil and cook the sausages until the surface is nice and brown!
