Sausages Splitting
Your sausages split because the casing overheated and burst. Lower heat and add liquid to finish gently.

The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 add 1/4 cup water to the skillet and cover for 3 minutes
- 2 finish uncovered over low heat to dry the surface
- 3 serve with mustard or sauce to add moisture
If it's still wrong
- Slice and saute with onions and peppers.
- Chop and add to pasta or soup.
Prevent next time
- Start in a cold pan and raise heat gradually.
- Prick once to vent if needed.
Notes
Why this works
Steam cooks the sausage gently while keeping the casing intact. Finishing over low heat dries the surface without bursting it.
