Sadly Ginger Pig isn't available in Brighton, I can barely get my hand round them.

Incidently - I found a very good way to cook a sausage. But I've got an electronic pressure cooker.

From frozen (always a bonus) 10 minutes IN then 10 minutes to calm down and rest with de-pressure. You need them raised out of the water but only half a mug of water chucked in.

They go what I can only describe as Bratwurst. Puffed up and moist. You then "finish them off" in very hot frying pan (or in the oven) rigorously tossing as not to burn.

Hard and crisp on the outside, but very moist inside. I'm not going back, I think I found the perfect way to get my sausage going.
Is an electronic pressure cooker the same thing as an instant pot?

Best to cook as follows

Steam lightly for 4-5 hours, using branch water in a humidifier (30 degrees).

Set out in the sun, turning every 20-30 minutes, depending on latitude and, of course season.

Rub with sticks.

Then the main cook. I prefer a vacuum boiler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaqaxV3MWMU

Here, extra extra virgin olive oil is recommended. Vacuum boiling at room temperature precludes esterification of the olive oil and retains peak flavature.

Some burning is the final step. Rosemary (obviously) and lake salt (so much more meaty than sea salt) over a hand-built fire. This is best made with hand-coke:

Dig a deep pit, fill with coal, attach sausage to prong and then you decide. Best avoid burning though. Raw in the middle. Everyone gets sick. Here you go. It does require more water, though.

Yes, I use it all the time. Makes perfect rice too.

It's like a slow cooker but fast, without the fear of the thing exploding and doing an utterly shit job of defrosting like a microwave.

I use it like a TOOL, finishing stuff off in the oven. Basically a very rapid steamer if used properly.

My mate at work tried telling me he loved getting some off the sausageman. I'm sure in his mind he was fully expecting an adult conversation about meaty foods, when in reality he was bombarded with smut and innuendos for some time.
Apparently sausageman does satisfy with a meaty length of pork though. Maybe worth checking out.

Go to the butchers in Partridge Green. It’s worth the trip.

and buy a pie and a sausage roll whilst you're there, you won't regret it!
