- What to consider when buying sausages
A great low-cost meat option for family weekday dinners, sausages deliver big on flavour without stretching the weekly budget and there’s no limit to their versatility. - Types of sausages
Who doesn’t love a sausage? From breakfast to Sunday lunch, lunch box finger food and charity sausage sizzles. Everyone has their favourites. - How long can sausages last in the fridge?
Like all meats, sausages are perishable so it’s important to store them safely in the fridge. This makes them safe to eat, and stay fresh and tasty for longer. - Freezing raw and cooked sausages
Raw and cooked sausages can be frozen for up to 2 months. Freeze cooked sausages immediately after cooking and cooling or refrigerate and freeze within 24 hours. - Defrosting sausages
The safest, easiest way to defrost sausages is in the refrigerator, whilst the quickest method is in a microwave. Ensure the sausage's temperature does not rise above 5℃, to reduce the risk of food poisoning. - How to cook frozen sausages
When cooking frozen raw sausages ensure the meat is cooked all the way through to eliminate harmful bacteria. Frozen precooked sausages just need to be reheated to a safe temperature before eating. - Reheating sausages
Always reheat sausages thoroughly until piping hot, when the centre of the meat reaches a core temperature of 71℃ and bacteria is destroyed.
