Cooking Tips
Beyond Sausage can be cooked using different techniques depending on its intended use. Grilling is one of the more popular approaches; alternatively it can also be pan-fried or air-fried.
Remember to cook sausage until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit; use a meat thermometer or follow package instructions for this step. For best results when pan-frying or frying sausage, lightly oil the surface first to prevent stickage of sausage to pan surface.
Allowing sausage to rest after it has been cooked can help it retain moisture and flavor, keeping its consistency consistent over time. Refrigerator-stored cooked sausage should last up to three days; you can reheat in either the microwave or pan alone, or by mixing with vegetables and sauces such as crab potato salad, zucchini mashed potatoes or turnip greens; perfect for Meatless Mondays, quick lunches or busy weeknight meals! Beyond Meat produces plant-based meat alternatives designed to replicate real meat’s look, texture and taste while using pea and rice proteins without soy, gluten or GMOs;

Preparation
Beyond Sausage is pre-seasoned for maximum flavor, but you can add herbs, spices and marinades for endless variations in taste and texture. Common additions are garlic powder, paprika onion powder thyme. You could also try barbecue sauce for an smoky finish!
Beyond Sausage can be cooked by grilling, sauteing or baking. For best results use a meat thermometer to ensure that the sausage has reached an internal temperature of 165oF (74oC).
When using a nonstick skillet, brush the surface with some oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Cook sausage for 7-10 minutes while turning several times until it has reached desired color and temperature.
Create authentic sausage casings by mixing lukewarm water and vital wheat gluten. After mixing, dip a rice paper sheet for five seconds into the water and wrap around your sausage like a cigar; this acts as the casing to maintain its shape on the grill and prevent it from falling apart. Brush its exterior with oil before grilling or simply cook directly in a preheated skillet.
