Remember to preheat your air fryer! Just like cooking sausages in the oven, preheating your air fryer allows the sausages to start cooking immediately, leading to more even, crispy results.

Always cook the sausages in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Stacking or overcrowding can cause the sausages to steam rather than crisp. Cook them in two or three batches if necessary!

Piercing the fresh sausages with a fork will prevent them from bursting during cooking.

The best way to check that the sausages are done cooking is with a meat thermometer. Pork sausages are safe to eat when their internal temperature reaches 160°F. Another way to check is by slicing a sausage open to ensure the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear.

Craving sausages with an extra crispy skin? Spray or brush the outsides with some vegetable oil before cooking.

Did you forget to thaw your frozen sausages? You can air fry frozen sausages without thawing. Just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time and increase the temperature slightly.
