Mastering the Grill: Perfecting Sausages at The Savory Sausage Spot

As the leaves turn and cooler weather approaches, there’s no better time to fire up the grill and savor the smoky goodness of perfectly cooked sausages. At The Savory Sausage Spot, we’ve honed our craft over years of experimentation and tradition. In this post – our Topic 2 in exploring sausage secrets – we’ll share insider tips on grilling that will transform your outdoor cooking game.

Why Sausages Shine on the Grill

Sausages are grill superstars because their casings crisp up beautifully while the fats inside render into mouthwatering juiciness. Whether you’re firing up our classic bratwurst, spicy Italian links, or herb-infused chicken varieties, the key is technique. Overcook them, and they turn into tough bites; undercook, and you’re risking disappointment. But fear not – we’ve got you covered.

Step-by-Step Grilling Guide

  1. Prep Your Sausages: Start with fresh sausages from The Savory Sausage Spot. Pat them dry and let them sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

  2. Preheat the Grill: Aim for medium heat – around 350-400°F. Use a two-zone setup: one side hot for searing, the other cooler for indirect cooking.

  3. Sear to Perfection: Place sausages on the hot side. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, turning with tongs (never pierce with a fork to avoid losing those precious juices).

  4. Finish Indirectly: Move to the cooler side and close the lid. Cook until the internal temperature hits 160°F for pork or 165°F for poultry – about 10-15 more minutes.

  5. Rest and Serve: Let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice and pair with our house-made mustards, sauerkraut, or grilled veggies.

Pro Tips from Our Chefs

  • Avoid Flare-Ups: Brush with a little oil if needed, but our natural casings minimize bursting.
  • Flavor Boost: Marinate in beer or apple cider vinegar for an hour beforehand – a favorite at the Spot!
