Pricking Sausages Prior To Cooking Them

mongooz doesn't deserve sausages. Perhaps he should order fish instead.

perhaps a burger......or pulled pork sammich......or rack of ribs......or......

i DO NOT appreciate a mouth full of grease on the first bite

I don't think you're cooking your sausages right.

I don't think you're cooking your sausages right.

yes i am.....i poke holes in them so all the grease can get out BEFORE i bite into them.

If ever I pricked a sausage before cooking it I would never feel able to look my butcher in the eye again.

If you buy the cheap and nasty basic versions from the supermarket they'd probably still explode during cooking like they all used to in the 70s. Any half decent pack of sausages shouldn't need it these days though.

This. My dad used to buy pre-cooked kielbasa then cut 'em into 6 inch sections. Split those down the middle and grill 'em up cut side down. 2 -4 good flares would mean that the grease was rendered out enough and hot. We always ate that stuff with horseradis or mustard. Sometimes both.

Same here.
Nothing beats kielbasa with horseradish and mustard (preferably brown course-ground mustard)!

Except maybe kielbasa on a toasted long roll with Sauerkraut, horseradish and brown mustard.
