Best griddle temp for sausage
The best griddle temp for sausage, whether you are cooking breakfast patties, links or brats, and how to keep them cooking through without burning the outside.
In short
For most sausage on a griddle, aim for about 350-400F. Breakfast sausage and brats both do well there without the outside racing too far ahead.
The rough idea
Sausage is usually better on a steady medium zone than a ripping hot one. You want enough heat for colour, but you still need time for the middle to cook through properly.
How to split it
Keep sausage on a medium or med-high zone, depending on thickness. If you are cooking eggs, bread or other delicate bits at the same time, give those a cooler patch of their own.
