What each ingredient does

Sausages
Are the main food cooked in the dish, browning and firming as they fry.
Fat
Conducts heat evenly across the pan and keeps the sausages from sticking.

The step that matters

Fry the sausages slowly. High heat cooks the outside faster than the inside, so the casing can split and burst. Gentle, slow frying with frequent turning heats the sausage through more evenly and keeps it juicy.
