The filled sausage can be steamed directly without air drying, but the taste is not good, and there is still more water in it, which affects the taste. After the sausage is filled, find a cool and ventilated place to hang it and air dry naturally. When the sausage becomes smaller, you can eat it. When air-drying sausages, you can punch holes in them to avoid explosion and flatulence.

Can sausages be steamed directly without air drying?

The freshly poured sausage can be steamed directly without air drying, but the taste will be worse than that of the air-dried sausage. Generally speaking, after a week of filling and air-drying, the meat quality of sausage will be more compact and delicate, and it is easy to taste, which means that there may be some moisture in one strand after direct steaming, which will affect the taste.

After the sausage is filled, you just need to find a cool and ventilated place to hang it and dry it naturally. Generally, it only takes about 15-20 days, and the sausage can be eaten when it is obviously smaller. If the weather is good, drying in the sun is also a very good choice.

When drying or air-drying sausages, you can stick a few small holes on toothpicks and sausages to avoid sausage deterioration caused by different internal and external pressures. After the sausage is air-dried, it can be steamed first, then sealed in plastic bags and placed in the frozen layer of the refrigerator for a longer period of time.
