Do you add water to the pan when cooking sausage in oven?

It depends on the type of sausage and the cooking method.

When cooking fresh sausage in the oven, it's generally not necessary to add water to the pan. Fresh sausage typically contains a fair amount of fat, which will render out during cooking and keep the sausage moist.

However, if you're cooking smoked sausage or fully cooked sausage in the oven, you may want to add a little water to the pan. This will help to prevent the sausage from drying out.

One way to cook sausage in the oven is to place the sausage in a baking dish and add 1/4 cup of water to the dish. Bake the sausage at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through.

Another way to cook sausage in the oven is to wrap it in foil. This method is particularly good for smoked sausage or fully cooked sausage, as it helps to keep the sausage moist. To cook sausage in foil, preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut a piece of foil large enough to wrap around the sausage. Place the sausage on the foil and wrap it tightly. Bake the sausage in the foil for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through.
