Help! Cooking Sausages in the Oven?

ShelBell

I don't like my grill, which is why I've taken to frying them recently. I do fry them in frylight spray though for health reasons

Always oven for me, although DH likes them all anaemic and I HATE them like that, so we always argue...

Ooh, a cooked breakfast in the oven, there's an interesting thought...

Great way to do most of it

Sunday morning - turn oven on - bung food in - go and buy Newspaper - come back have bath.
Sit down with paper and a delicious almost effort free breakfast.
About as good as it gets

Absolutely ! You can also heat the beans in the oven, and yes, you can make baked eggs ! You can also cook black pudding in the oven and do ovened saute/hash brown potatoes. Its about experimenting with the timing.

The Americans have a thing called breakfast casserole, sometimes called strata, which is a variety of breakfast foods layered in a casserole with beaten eggs, usually milk, sometimes cheese, usually some form of bread and baked in the oven. Some folks will leave theirs soaking overnight but I am a bit wary of doing that with semicooked/raw meat and raw eggs.

I do an oven-cooked version of Jamie Oliver's post-pub fry-up, it all goes in an oven-safe saute pan.

I also cook sausages in the oven, I have a speciality lazy sausage bake for when I can't be bothered to cook 'proper' food. I don't 'do' measures of quantities, but this is roughly what I do:

wash some potatoes, leaving the skin on cut them into thin-ish wedges. Bung them in the oven at 200oc for 20 mins.
Then add some peeled chunked carrots, some garlic (in its skin is fine), some peeled wedged onions (or peeled whole baby onions), some sausages, and anything else that's kicking around that I think 'why not?' - peppers, sweet potatoes, squash, or whatever
Cook til, um, cooked. I normally forget about it for an hour then go see how its doing. If I'm feeling saucy I mix equal quantities of honey, wholegrain mustard and oil and stir that in too.

Tastes a lot nicer than you'd think, and people love it even though it's a lazy just-bung-it-in jobby.

Put yours in a bit before his - or take his out first and leave yours in afor a few minutes longer

If you are trying to be a bit healthy (don't know if that's possible with susages):D , Get a cake cooling tray or the mesh bit out of the grill pan. Stand it over a baking dish, then put the sausages on top. Thay way the fat drips through and the sausages aren't soaking up their own fat.

This is what I was going to say! I always cook my sausages in the oven but I put them on the actual grill pan to do it. They cook a bit more evenly and the fat drips off them.
