Doneness
The sausages are browned all over and the centers read 160 °F (71 °C) with no pink. Patties firm up; links plump and brown evenly.
Oil & seasoning
None needed — breakfast sausage renders its own fat.
Watch out for
- Confirm 160 °F internal; fresh pork sausage must be fully cooked.
- Leave gaps so they brown on all sides instead of steaming.
- Drain the basket if a lot of fat renders out.
- Flip patties carefully so they don't break apart.
