How to Cook Sausage From Frozen

I can’t count the number of times I hear about folks burning their sausages before it’s cooked. Using this method, you will get perfectly browned sausage, and you can start from frozen—Yup, right out of your freezer into your pan. 

Any sausage works and if you have a well-seasoned cast-iron pan use it, but any old pan would work.

Using this method, you will get perfectly browned sausage and you can start from frozen—Yup, right out of your freezer into your pan.

Ingredients

• Frozen Sausages, any kind
• A pan with lid - cast iron or carbon steel is best

Instructions

1. Take a sharp knife and poke 4 tiny holes, as small as possible, spaced evenly apart on each sausage link. This will help it from exploding and making a mess while it cooks. 
2. Add oil to the pan, enough to lightly coat the bottom, and then add in sausages.
3. Turn heat to medium, let it start sizzling. Wait until it's brown on the bottom side. Once brown, flip sausages over.
4. Pour enough water to cover the bottom of the pan and submerge the sausages in 1/2 cm of water. Put a lid on and let it go until the water evaporates. You know it's done when you hear sizzling.
5. Optional - Turn down the heat to low, and add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and butter to give it a sweet and salty glaze. Keep an eye on it, sugar burns quickly. 
6. Give it a final flip, so the top gets a second chance to mop up the juices at the bottom of the pan. Serve right away!
