Cooking Instructions
Our handmade Pigs in Blankets are supplied ready to cook.
The following instructions are suitable for cooking from chilled.
Oven Cooking
Oven: 200°C / 180°C Fan / Gas Mark 6
Cooking Time: Approximately 25–30 minutes.
-
Preheat your oven.
-
Remove the pigs in blankets from their packaging.
-
Arrange evenly on a baking tray, leaving a little space between each one.
-
Roast for approximately 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.
-
Ensure the bacon is beautifully golden and crisp and the sausages reach an internal temperature of 75°C.
-
Serve hot alongside your favourite roast or festive trimmings.
Butcher's Tip: For a delicious festive glaze, brush lightly with honey or maple syrup during the final five minutes of cooking.
Air Fryer Cooking
Temperature: 180°C
Cooking Time: Approximately 12–18 minutes, depending on the size of the sausages and your air fryer.
-
Preheat your air fryer if recommended by the manufacturer.
-
Arrange the pigs in blankets in a single layer, leaving space for the hot air to circulate.
-
Cook for approximately 12–18 minutes, turning halfway through.
-
Check that the bacon is crisp and the sausages reach 75°C internally.
-
Serve immediately.
Butcher's Tip: Avoid overcrowding your air fryer basket. Cooking in smaller batches helps the bacon crisp evenly.
Important Cooking Information
