How to Cook Sausage Products:
There are some general rules for cooking Irvings Farm Fresh sausages:
- NEVER PRICK OUR SAUSAGES - you will let the juices escape!
- Cook LOW AND SLOW

- Cook until internal temperature reaches 74oC or 165oF - use an instant read meat thermometer for best results.
Sausages
- Baking: Place on a roasting tray in a medium oven for 25-30mins. To cook directly from frozen extend the cooking time to about 45 minutes.
- Frying: Fry on a low heat for about 25 minutes, turning occasionally to evenly brown the sausages.
- Grilling / Broiling: Grill / Broil under a medium hot grill, for about 20 mins turning occasionally.
- Poaching: Poach in simmering water for about 10 mins and then brown on a griddle or frying pan. Alternatively poach in stock or gravy in a casserole or stew. For an alternative taste - sausages can also be poached in beer!
- BBQ: Preheat the BBQ then cook over a low heat for about 20 mins, turning occasionally.
- Griddles / Grilling machines: These work well too. Monitor sausages to avoid overcooking and drying out.
