Sausages cooked?
I cooked some small pork sausages. They were slightly pink when removed from the pan. How do you know if they are cooked fully? I am worried I am going to make myself sick. I must have cooked them for more than 10 minutes, I had to remove the eggs from the pan, to avoid burning them. What is the objective way to know if these are cooked?
Best Answer
There's not a 100% foolproof way besides temperature.
However, if you know from experience that sausages of this size cooked in this way for this length of time end up fully cooked, then you can be pretty confident these were too. You may also be able to gain some confidence by checking the texture, not just the color, and by checking for instructions on the package.

The salt treatment in sausage can cause it to retain a pinker color for a given temperature than would normal ground meat.
