The instructions said 'Grill each side for 15 mins', referring to sausages but, a sausage is round. How can I?

Answer 1

Your sausage actually has six sides.

Assuming your sausage is dangling:
The west side is the side that is concave.
The east side is the side that is convex.
The north side is the side away from you if your dangling sausage concave side is pointing to your left.
The south side is the side away from you if your dangling sausage concave side is pointing to your right.

Then of course, you have the ends, which will be top and bottom, respective to the dangling.

The first side to grill will be the north side, followed by the south side. The time to keep each sausage on each side, is of course dependent on variables, such as proximity to the heat source, temperature of the heat source, proximity to grill sides or lid and wind velocity. There can also be a measurable difference in cooking time for one side of the grill, if the grill is not perfectly level, or in conjunction with wind entry points.

Just remember, your sausage is done the best if you start out on the north, if each begin and end at about the same time, if wind is not a factor and if level headedness is kept throughout. Don't be concerned if the top end of one touches the bottom end of another. The exchange of juices is a natural occurrence at that point, and helps achieve the ultimate in a smokin' juice release.

Happy grilling.

Answer 2

Yes, a sausage is round, but just pick two sides of it...preferably the sides that keep the sausage sturdy while it is laying on the grill. Don't worry about the shape of a sausage, it will cook thoroughly anyways. Hope that helps!!

Answer 3

I fit is a soft (or raw) type of sausage, it is a good idea to flatten it a bit to keep it from rolling, and so that you have two definitive surfaces (think of it this way: one doesn't usually try to grill the edges/sides of a chicken breast), but remember that it will be thinner meat now and will cook a bit quicker--the safest thing to do is get a food thermometer to check the "doneness"--depending on the type of meat. If it is a firm type of sausage, cut it and your cooking time in half & do it that way. BUT 15 minutes per side sounds too long a time for a saussage?

Answer 4

Clever question, but it's an abberation against nature to grill a sausage! Fry those puppies! Particularly if you are talking about the standard UK breakfast type sausages, there's nothing else for it. Now if it's something exotic like Italian Hot or Sweet Sausage like you get in the good ole' USofA you want to be splitting them down the middle and grilling them, preferably BBQ... mmmm sausage...

Answer 5

There are two main sides to a sausage. It's easier to think of it as a rectangle. After 15 minutes, just turn it on another side, and after that, whatever's not cooked enough, turn it so that part is on the grill.

Answer 6

Although a sausage seems round, in practice it actually has four sides.
Just turn the little begger every couple of minutes... you soon see how it works.

Answer 7

The sausage always lays flat, on a flat surface, you just turn them over.

Answer 8

Ah th e dear old sausage, reminds me of a silly saying...'everything has an end my friend, but the sausage has two'. !

Answer 9

Sausages curve around, so they can be laid on either side, with the curve facing first one way, and then the other.
