The general recommended time to cook sausages in the oven is around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the temperature and sausage type. Here are common guidelines:
- At 400°F (about 200°C), cook sausages for about 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until browned and fully cooked (internal temp 165°F or higher).
- At a lower temperature like 350°F (about 175°C), sausages usually take about 35-45 minutes to cook, turning halfway and aiming for an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
- Some recommend baking them at 190°C (170°C fan) or 375°F for about 20-25 minutes, turning several times, until golden and no pink remains inside.
- For smaller sausages like breakfast links, around 15-20 minutes at 400°F can be enough for browning and full cooking.
Overall, a safe and effective method is cooking sausages at 375-400°F for 20-30 minutes, turning halfway through for even browning, and ensuring an internal temperature of at least 165°F for safety.
