Sorry about asking, but i am new to cooking. I was trying to cook some
sausages i bought at Sams. I used virgin olive oil in a pan and was
trying to slice the sausages into small pieces and throw it in the
frying pan. However, after cutting a few slices, i feel as if i didn't
cut it right since it looks all mashed up, not a circular piece. Is
there a technique into cutting raw sausages into circular pieces
before i throw them into the pan to cook? Thanks.

of water, simmering for 15 minutes, turning until the water evaporates.
Then you can add oil if you want to, but I don't, they are fatty enough.
Turn the heat up to medium high then and brown on all sides. (Don't
[censored] the sides, so as much of the seasoning will stay in.)Then slice them, and if you want them brown on the flat sides, toss them
back in.When they are raw the casing holds them together--if you slice them then
they can fall apart before they are cooked. When cooked, they hold their
shape. -

"firm". Use a sharp knife. -

the pan then when the water has boiled off, I fry them to brown them.
Pierce the casings so the excess fat cooks out. I cut them on the bias, for
appearace.Paul

Not a bad idea.You're going to dirty a knife just to cut a sausage in half so you can use
an egg slicer to cut them in slices? Paging Ron Popeil, paging Ron Popeil.
If a person can't handle a knife well enough to cut a sausage, they should
order a pizza (delivered). Funny, but just today I was chatting with a
woman who said she never realized she could cook until somebody actually
gave her a truly sharp knife and showed her how to use it. She was told
knives stay sharp forever, you see.Paul

Uh, I was joking. Do you know what putting a raw, cased sausage
would do when the egg slicer comes down on it?Think about it.

Me? Hah, she was serious. I knew the idea was a joke. Wertz was jesting
at how people seem to think cooking has to emply exotic and specialized
tools.Paul

I have never used one, but figured they must be very sharp. Duh.Egg slicers are basically just thin wire. They wouldn't cut
through a sausage casing. It would just smash the guts out of
it.<sigh> Now I really feel guilty for being sarcastic.

You should save that kind of thing for us professionals. I know I make it
look easy, but it took many years of practice to perfect.Paul
