They taste better when boiled, but you can also eat them raw, the main thing is not to overindulge.

Cooking homemade or store-bought sausages is a fairly simple process. You need to bring water to a boil, put the sausages in it and cook them for 5-10 minutes.

To make sausages edible, they can be cooked using a frying pan, oven, and grill.

By the way, it is not necessary to remove the artificial casing from the sausages before cooking, as it is heat-resistant.

Regardless of the cooking method you choose, make sure the sausages are completely cooked.

This means that their internal temperature must reach a value above 71 degrees.

Eating undercooked sausages can result in a bacterial infection.
