  1. Don’t steam then in foil alone aluminum is poison wrap sausage in parchment then wrap in foil then steam or wrap I parchment, and wrap plastic wrap over parchment wrap again ending with foil then steam for a bit . n

    1. Steaming results in \’raw\’ sausage. They\’re ok toe at like this, and store well frozen, but much better to grill, bake or fry them before eating :)
