For most pork or beef sausages, cook them in an air fryer for about 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until the center reaches a safe internal temperature (around 71–75°C / 160–167°F) and is no longer pink.

Ideal Time & Temperature

  • Regular sausages (pork/beef, uncooked):
    • 180–200°C (350–400°F) for about 10–15 minutes.
* Turn halfway through so they brown evenly.
  • Thinner sausages (breakfast/chipolatas):
    • 180–200°C (350–400°F) for about 8–12 minutes.
  • Thicker Italian/Brat-style sausages:
    • Around 190–200°C (375–400°F) for about 12–15 minutes.

Always check that the sausages are browned outside and fully cooked inside; use a thermometer if possible and aim for at least 71°C in the center.

Quick Step‑By‑Step

  1. Preheat air fryer to 180–200°C (350–400°F).
  1. Lay sausages in a single layer, not overlapping.
  1. Cook 8–15 minutes depending on thickness, flipping halfway.
  1. Check one sausage: no pink inside and juices run clear, or internal temp at least 71°C.

From Frozen?

  • Many home cooks and recipes note you can cook sausages from frozen in about 12–15 minutes at around 200°C (400°F), flipping halfway, but expect the upper end of the time range.
  • Separate any sausages stuck together once they begin to soften and still verify doneness in the center.

Forum‑Style Tip Roundup

Online discussions and recipe comments frequently mention that air fryers brown sausages nicely without extra oil and that results vary slightly by model and basket size. Many users say their “sweet spot” is around 10 minutes for standard sausages and closer to 15 minutes for very thick links or crowded baskets.

TL;DR: Start with 10 minutes at 180–200°C for regular sausages, flip halfway, then add a few extra minutes if they are thick or not yet browned, and always check the inside is fully cooked.
