A great sausage deserves great cooking. Whether it’s a breakfast fry-up, a braai, or a quick weekday meal, how you cook your Frey’s pork sausages makes all the difference. With 80% real pork and no fillers, our sausages are built for flavour, and deserve to be cooked with care.
Start slow
Place your sausages in a cold pan with a light drizzle of oil before turning on the heat. As the pan warms, the fat inside begins to render slowly, helping the meat brown evenly and develop that deep, savoury flavour Frey’s is known for. A slow start means crisp, golden results without split casings.
Handle with care
Skip the fork. Piercing sausages lets precious juices escape, leaving them dry. Instead, use tongs and turn them gently every few minutes so they brown evenly on all sides. Allow each side to caramelise before moving them, that’s where the flavour lives.
Cook with control
Cook Frey’s sausages over medium-low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes. High heat can burn the outside while the centre stays raw. Gentle heat gives you that perfect balance: a crisp, evenly browned exterior and a juicy, cooked-through centre. You’ll know they’re done when they’re firm to the touch and the juices run clear.
Oven or braai options
Prefer the oven? Bake sausages at 180°C for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through for even colour. For the braai, cook them over indirect heat, turning often until golden. The gentle smoke pairs perfectly with the pork’s natural richness.
Rest and serve
Once cooked, let your sausages rest for a few minutes before serving. This locks in the juices so every bite stays tender. Serve them with eggs, on a roll with caramelised onions, or simply on their own, they’re that good.
Serving suggestions
Frey’s pork sausages are as versatile as they are delicious. Pair them with creamy scrambled eggs for a breakfast favourite, slice them into a hearty pasta or stew for extra flavour. For something a little different, try them roasted alongside vegetables for a simple, one-pan dinner that lets the sausage shine. However you serve them, the rich Frey’s taste is always the hero.
Good sausages deserve good treatment. Take your time, keep the heat steady, and let the quality of Frey’s pork sausages shine through. The result is everything a proper sausage should be: golden, juicy, and full of real pork flavour.
