Sausages are best cooked in griddle pan, thus preventing them from turning over all the damn time when you're trying to cook them on all sides.

I have a serious craving for a sausage sandwich now :(

"If they're good sausages poach them first - 70C for 20 mins - before frying on a quite low heat so they don't burst."

Does this actually work, or is it just a reminder that regardless of election results Americans are mental?

I could imagine this would be helpful with a barbeque if you are the sort of prude who hates carbon but it sounds like an immense amount of fannying around for the kitchen.

Yes, I would prefer to fry but I don't have a heavy bottomed pan or the time.

(a) I have no idea what a martinet is. However, i think Martin should have a trio of backing singers and/or kung fu henchgirls called the Martinettes.

(b) The brown stuff that forms on the bottom of a frying pan is not caramel. Caramel is burnt sugar, and sausages do not contain very much sugar. This man Fort is a simpleton, and certainly no sausage apostle.

Where's the correct answer? BBQ 'em! Till they're black!

I either grill them or put them in a pan and add a little sherry/red wine to add the awesome.
