Storage Tips
Got leftover sausages? Let them cool completely, then pop them in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, just give them 2-3 minutes in the air fryer at 350°F. You can also freeze cooked sausages for up to 2 months – just wrap them well to prevent freezer burn!
Quick Tips for Perfect Results
Space your sausages out in the air fryer basket so they cook evenly – don’t stack them! If you notice any excess grease during cooking, you can place a piece of bread under the basket to catch drips. For extra-crispy skin, pat the sausages dry with a paper towel before cooking. And remember, different sizes of sausages might need slightly different cooking times, so keep an eye on them during the first batch!
