What each ingredient does

Sausages
Main protein; pricking lets steam escape so the casings do not crack during broiling.

The step that matters

Pricking the sausages before broiling. Pricking lets steam escape as the sausage heats, which helps prevent the casing from bursting. Cooking over a slow fire gives the interior time to heat through before the outside browns too much.
