At Costco this morning, we bought some more Aidells chicken and apple sausages. We get them a lot. They are delicious ¬†and ¬†I thought I might try the Gruyere cheese and roasted garlic sausages too by Aidells. ¬†I had a sample taste even though I had already picked up the double package. ¬†They are very tasty. I looked at the sausages being offered and noticed that the look of the sausage wasn’t as cooked or burnt looking as the way I cooked them. Perhaps I was cooking them for ¬†too long.
When we got home and as we normally do after a Costco shopping trip, Adam  took the sausages out of their wrapping and packed 4 sausages each into a zip lock bag for the freezer. This is great but I have realized that I never see the original packaging and how Aidells suggests that the sausages should be cooked.
Oh dear.  Those poor sausages. I have been beating them up in the oven for way too long. I have been cooking them for nearly 45 minutes until the skin is almost burnt. I have been treating the already cooked sausages as if they were regular sausages fried on the stove in a frying pan.  It turns out that these sausages only need 8 Р10 minutes max on the stove or baked in the oven. I feel terrible about my past treatment of the Aidells sausage and did them justice this time by cooking them for 10 minutes only.
When I served dinner they looked almost anaemic though compared to how we are used to eating them but at least they were easier to cut into. It was always such an effort!
Anyhow, here is the retrieved wrapping that I managed to dig up from the trash can.
