I buy sausages from the butcher and grill them. They are fine and rarely spit. I don't prick them.

I used to grill sausages. They do spit and produce smoke, and occasionally flames shock. These days, since the advent of the air fryer ? I cook sausages in that. Quicker than doing them in the oven.
I'm hungry now!!

I am famous for my sausages: black on the outside, pink on the inside, so I always cook them in the oven, never under the grill or in the frying pan.

If you get the more expensive (with a high % of meat) sausages it doesn't happen; presume the cheaper ones have more fat?

I very very rarely cook sausage under the grill, don't eat many sausage. But I have done them in the oven and bought those silver foil sheets that soak up the fat.

But of course you can never stop them spitting n hissing.

This is really an enquiry on DD's behalf. I hope that is allowed.

She has just replaced an all gas cooker with a dual fuel cooker, which means an electric grill. When ever she grills sausages under the grill, the fat spatters, hits the grill elements andwhich then burn it producing lots of smoke. Something the gas grill didn't do.

Does anyone else grill sausages under an electric grill and how do they deal with the clouds of smoke this produces?
