Air Fryer Review Item: Air Fryer Sausage
I tried out the Dreo Air Fryer by cooking some air fryer sausage with it. You can cook any sausage in the air fryer. This recipe works well for uncooked pork, chicken sausages, or Italian sausages.
I am using pork sausage for this trial.
Place the uncooked sausage in the air fryer. Lightly oil the sausage.
Cook at 400 F for 8 mins.
After 8 minutes, open the air fryer basket, flip the sausages and cook for another 6 minutes. The amount of time needed depends on the thickness of the sausages.
Add a few minutes if you like your sausages really charred or dark brown. Once ready, serve with your favorite sides or vegetables.
For food safety purposes, it’s always recommended that you use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the sausages. If they reach a temperature of 165 F / 74 C or higher, they are safe to eat.
What’s the Bottom Line
I recommend this model if you usually cook for 1 to 3 persons, as the capacity of the Dreo 4 Quart Air Fryer is very compact. The air fryer cooks well, with no plastic smell and it is not very noisy.
The 8 Preset functions make cooking quick and easy. You can cook a healthy meal for your family with this air fryer as it reduces 85% of fat compared with the traditional deep frying method. Besides these, this model has a wide temperature range which is seldom available for compact air fryers. With this wide temperature range, you can even dehydrate food with it.
The Dreo Air Fryer KAF002 comes with a 1-year warranty, and there is an option for an extended warranty. So if you’re looking for a small air fryer, I’d recommend giving the Dreo KAF002 air fryer a try.
