Content: Pork Sausages
It is hard to tell when pork sausages such as bratwurst or chorizo are done without the use of a thermometer. They can still be pink inside even when the internal temperature of the pork sausage is over 160 degrees Fahrenheit. The best way to ensure that pork sausages are properly cooked through is by simmering or poaching them in liquid first and then finishing them on the grill or a hot pan to get a nice char on them. By first cooking them in water ( water has a thermal conductivity 23 times that of air) you can ensure that your sausages are thoroughly cooked through. Generally, if you start your sausages in a pan with an inch of liquid that’s simmering, the sausages will take around 20 minutes (flipping them over after 10 minutes) to get into safe territory. What about pork breakfast sausages links or patties? It will generally take nine to ten minutes to cook a pork breakfast sausage link or patty to a safe minimum temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit over medium heat on the stovetop or in the oven. Pork Tenderloin
Pork tenderloins generally weigh between 1 to 1.5 pounds. Determining the internal temperature of pork tenderloin by just visually looking at it or poking it is difficult. For pork tenderloin, I would suggest judging its doneness by using the amount of time you have cooked it as well as at what temperature.
