Cooking Tips Big River Lost Meats Products are BEST Prepared using the following Methods :
Please Do NOT Boil or Pre-boil
Grilling - Nothing Beats the Grill for preparing Sausages! Make sure the grill is not
too Hot. Place the Sausage on the Grill and turn Often to avoid burning.
Steaming - Pour a small amount of oil in a Skillet, set Heat to Low or Medium setting.
Add Sausage to pan and when links start to grow, add just enough water
(or Beer) to cover the bottom of the pan, cover the pan. Add liquid as
necessary to enhance the Steaming Process. Sausage is done when you
see water slightly moving beneath the casing.
Frying - Pour a small amount of oil in a Skillet, set Heat to Low or Medium setting.
Add Sausage to pan and after a few minutes the links will grow in size. Start
turning links so they will brown on all sides and cook in the middle. Add oil as
needed to prevent burning.
You have to add a small amount of oil, water or beer when cooking because our sausages are so lean Do Not burn or prick holes in the sausage casings, it is important to keep the juices inside to maintain the Hearty, Distinctive Flavor
