Notes

Cooking Times:
Cooking time depends on the thickness of the sausage you are using. Here is a helpful guide on cooking times (cooked at 180C/ 350F).
  • Thick pork sausages - 12-14 minutes.
  • Chipolatas and other thin sausages - 8-10 minutes.
  • Cocktail sausages or pigs in blankets - 8 minutes.
  • Frozen Sausages - 14-15 minutes (but test with a meat thermometer to be sure).
  • Vegetarian Sausages - 8-10 minutes.
All models of air fryer will vary slightly, so it's best to keep checking the sausages every few minutes.
 
Storage:
Store - If you plan on storing the sausages in the fridge, place them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in cling film or aluminum foil. They can be stored in the fridge for up to four days.
Freeze - If you want to store the sausages for a longer period, you can freeze them. Wrap them tightly in cling film or aluminum foil, or place them in a freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months.
Reheat - When you're ready to eat the sausages, you can reheat them in the air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 180C, then add the sausages to the basket and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through. You can also reheat them in the microwave, or in the oven.
