- Frozen Sausage Links, uncooked
- Similar to sausage patties, you can cook frozen, raw link sausages in the air fryer as well, similar to frozen sausage patties. Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees and cook for 8-12 minutes, shaking to roll sausages half-way between.
- Reheating PreCooked Sausages (Links or Patties)
- To reheat precooked sausages, either store bought or homemade, preheat air fryer to 375 degrees and place pre-cooked air fryer sausages or patties in air fryer basket without crowding. Air fry 3-5 minutes until sizzling and heated through.
- Storage Tips
- Freezer: Once cooked, the cooled sausages can be stored in the freezer for about two months.
- Refrigerator: In the fridge, leftover patties and links will keep well for about five days in an airtight container. Microwave them or place them back in the air fryer to heat them up for a quick and easy breakfast.
