Frozen Sausages Size
When you air fry frozen sausages, there is one big thing to bear in mind. That is you need to know that the sausages we have cooked from frozen in the air fryer are thick cut raw pork sausages from the butchers.
If your sausages are already cooked or are very thin sausages, then your time and temp will be different to ours, so do adjust accordingly.
