How do you cook bangers?

To cook bangers, also known as sausages, you'll need the following ingredients and equipment:

Ingredients:

- Bangers (sausages)

- Oil (vegetable or olive oil)

- Water

Equipment:

- Frying pan or skillet

- Tongs

- Paper towels

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bangers:

- If the bangers come in a casing, prick the sausages all over with a fork to prevent them from bursting during cooking.

2. Heat the Oil:

- Heat a frying pan or skillet over medium heat.

- Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.

3. Add the Bangers:

- Once the oil is hot, add the bangers to the pan.

- Cook the bangers for 8-10 minutes, or until they are browned on all sides.

- If the sausages cook unevenly, turn them using tongs to ensure they brown uniformly.

4. Add Water:

- After the initial browning, add about ¼ cup of water to the pan.

- Cover the pan with a lid and let the bangers steam for 5-7 minutes. This helps cook them evenly and prevent dryness.

5. Drain the Water:

- After steaming, remove the lid and let the water evaporate.

- Continue cooking the bangers until they are crispy on the outside and fully cooked on the inside.

6. Serve:

- Once the bangers are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

- Serve the bangers immediately with your desired sides, such as mashed potatoes, onions, baked beans, or your favorite condiments like ketchup or brown sauce.

Tips for Cooking Bangers:

- Start by cooking them on medium heat to prevent burning and allow the sausages to cook evenly throughout.

- Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook the bangers in batches if necessary.

- Adjust the cooking time depending on the size and type of bangers you are using.

- Always ensure that the bangers are cooked thoroughly before serving.
