Got some major thunderstorms rolling through here so grilling outside is
not an option. I do have a grill pan so I'll cook this hot Italian
sausage on the stovetop.

I've got six sausages, might add a couple of them to some seasoned
tomato sauce to serve over pasta.

I do hope the power doesn't go out.

Sounds good to me!

I hope you've got one of those spatter screens to go on top of your
pan. That's the only thing I hate about frying some things; that
grease can pop and land everywhere.

I do have a couple of spatter screens but they're not really necessary.
I slash the Italian sausages crosswise so the fat leaches out into the
grill pan. Also so they don't curl up when cooking. I don't cook them
on high heat, cook them low and slow. There's not much spatter.

I don't slash them. I just poke a bunch of holes in them to let the fat out.

Whatever works. I don't get a lot of grease or spatter from these
sausages. Joan was talking about needing a spatter screen. I do own a
couple but I don't use them very often.

Those screens are a neat idea, but they are almost as much trouble to
clean as simply cleaning up the spatters. Sometimes I use them for
frying hamburgers, but never had much problems cooking Italian sausages
without a screen.
