Expert Tips
- Preheat the air fryer for best results
- Frozen sausages? Don't defrost them - cook from frozen instead
- Add some water to the bottom of the air fryer basket if your air fryer is prone to producing a lot of smoke, or if you start to see a lot of smoke coming out
- Don't overcrowd your air fryer basket - make sure you have some air left between the sausages, and cook them in a single layer
- Use a meat thermometer to make sure they are done. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Adjust time and temperature depending on the thickness of the sausages to make sure they are cooked through but not burnt
- Cook time can vary with different air fryers
