Things You Should Know

For cooking sausage on a stovetop, heat a skillet with about 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of oil on medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for five minutes on each side. To boil sausages, cover and boil them for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 °F (74 °C).

Strong or unpleasant odor: A strong or unsavory smell is the first sign your sausage has gone bad. If your sausage has a fish-like, acidic or sour smell, you'll likely want to throw it away.

How the Arbroath Smokie is made. The haddock are first salted overnight. They are then tied in pairs using hemp twine and left overnight to dry. Once they have been salted, tied and dried, they are hung over a triangular length of wood to smoke.

Fill skillet with enough water to reach a quarter of the way up sides of sausages. 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.)

Even if the casing does break a bit, high-quality smoked sausage is so juicy that it'll be hard to dry it out. If grilling is outside your cooking capacity, then pan-frying your smoked sausage on the stove will still yield a moist, crispy product in a very manageable way.

Grilling and frying sausages can make the sausages pop with flavour. Boiling sausages is a faster method but you will have to part with some of the flavour unless you fry them after boiling them.

You can if you want all the flavour to be boiled out. One of my golden rules for cooking is no meat boiling unles making a stock. In order to preserve the sausage casing from breaking, thus leaking its delicious content all over the frying pan (cheesy sausages, I'm looking at you), I do not even sear the sausage.
