my gran always used to cut hers lengthways and flatten them and fry them, ive heard that people boil them a bit before frying them, some grill.

Definitely fry them on a low/medium heat so they cook through without burning.

I sometimes deep-fry them, too. They go a lovely golden brown colour.

It is morally wrong to do anything with a good sausage than fry it !!!!!!!!!!!!!! With a pork chop , eggs , mushrooms, chips, beans, bacon and tomatoes :thumbsup:

It depends!  ::)

If it's going in a roll definitely split and fry, that way you get more cripsy browning.  :thumbsup:

I like them in a casserole with butter beans, tomatoes and mushrooms too. Or toad in the hole (we had that last week with the first of our beef sausages). Getting hungry now.  :D

When out with the caravan  and awayon a days outing often use a slow cooker jobby for three hours or so on low using a time clock .
 Bung in a few lightly browned onions first to bring out the flavours .

Then it is filled with leeks , carrots  onions, parsnip , swede cubes , a couple of crushed cloves of garlic , a few mushrooms and a few shakes of black pepper , a packet of chicken and veg cuppa soup and two oxo cubes . Sometimes adding one or two potatoes cubed to one inch cubes . 

 At home we have a big old " George Foreman Lean Machine "  infrared grill plate and sausages done in it at power four for say three min and turned ,then another three min and turned again , then for another two give a firm low fat lovely brown sausage .

 Often do sausages outside to a golden brown on the gas barbie or on the charcoal one with them wrapped in a lean bit of back smoked or unsmoked  bacon.
 
They also do fairly well on barbie skewers as half a sausage  intersperced with capsicums , onions , the odd pickled onion , mushrooms and bits of courgette or marrow cubes after being left as filled skewers marinating over night in a sweet not very hot tomato based thick sauce
