One of America's great pastimes is partaking of a backyard barbecue. Barbecue fare ranges from hamburger and hot dogs to chicken and steaks. But whatever the fare you can have a great time. Sausages are often cooked on the grill and frequently are a featured guest at backyard barbecues. To grill the perfect sausage, check out these tips.
Instructions
1. Clean the grill surface. Nothing can spoil a good meal than the tastes and flavors lingering of the last meal that was cooked on the grill.
2. Heat the grill on high heat to burn off any left over flavors or residue. Spray the grilling surface with spray cooking oil to keep the food from sticking to the grill surface.
3. Lower the heat to medium low heat to allow for slow cooking and so that you will be able to turn them before they burn. A uniform color should be achieved when grilling the sausages. As the sausages cook they will give off oil and grease which may cause the fire to flare up, which could cause the sausage to burn.
4. Stick the quick read thermometer in the end of the sausage lengthwise and continue cooking until the temperature reads 160. The sausage is then safe to eat.
5. Serve the sausages and leave the grill on high for about five minutes to clean the grill surface, and then shut off the grill.
