To cook, place the sausage links in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. This usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Alternatively, they can be baked in the oven on a baking sheet at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until browned and cooked. Ensure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for food safety. They are best enjoyed hot.
