This past week was again a busy week with no cooking projects from my collection of recipes<\/a>; however, I took advantage of this past weekend to both develop my version of a favourite dish my mom continues to this day to make for me, a corned beef hash, but for which, strictly speaking, she doesn’t have a formal recipe, and, prepare a future post on firestarters. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am therefore posting the photos I’d taken of cooking sausages a few weeks ago at the cottage and which I’d kept in reserve. The subject of cooking sausages would normally not qualify for a post in this cooking series, since I am “only” highlighting the cooking of (admittedly somewhat large quantities of) commercially prepared breakfast sausages — for which I of course do not have a recipe — as opposed to highlighting a non-existent hypothetical recipe for making sausage from scratch. However, I am including this post since several of my recipes call for cooked breakfast sausages, such as my stuffed potato skins<\/a>, my breakfast sandwiches<\/a>, and my english muffin breakfast sandwiches<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that these photos were taken in the month of May 2021, at the cottage, not this past weekend.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking the sausages:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, an electric skillet was taken out:<\/p>\n\n\n

Sausages were taken out and placed in the electric skillet — in this case, half of the package, or the top layer of two layers of sausages:<\/p>\n\n\n

I turned over the sausages after a few minutes:<\/p>\n\n\n

Sometimes, a flipper is needed to loosen the sausages in order to turn them over:<\/p>\n\n\n

The sausages were turned again and were beginning to brown:<\/p>\n\n\n

The sausages were turned yet again and continued to brown:<\/p>\n\n\n

At this point, a cookie baking tray was taken out:<\/p>\n\n\n

As the sausages began to be cooked, they were taken out of the electric skillet and placed on the cookie baking tray …<\/p>\n\n\n

The process was repeated and the rest of the package of sausages was also cooked in the skillet the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grease was allowed to cool, and when it had solidified, it was wrapped up with the other kitchen wastes from the weekend’s other cooking projects, and brought home to place in the curbside kitchen waste brown box for municipal composting:<\/p>\n\n\n
