    Would an ice bath have helped at the end?

        I would agree that you probably had some hot spots in your kettle near the bottom, and most likely was what split your casings.

            With a large kettle full of hot water, you can do a couple of things to avoid breakage.

            First, while heating the water, give it a stir once in while to help get all the water to an even temperature.

            Next, you can shut the burner off just before you put the sausage in the kettle. Bring the water up to 175-180 degrees. With the heat removed you won’t get an hot spots.
            Monitor the internal temperature of the sausage and remove and chill when you get to the target temperature.

            You can try and suspend them. In my experience, sausages want to float horizontally on the surface unless you weight one end or something like that.

                              Dr_Pain Sounds like you’re healing well. I know you’ve probably been told a thousand times, but “baby steps”. We’re still praying for you.

                                        Sheesh! I need to get back to cooking so I can compete with you guys. That is some good looking product

                                        Doc, you just take care of you first! Take your meds now so you can make your meals later!!

                                        Getting better everyday. I made a dish last night (from my childhood) that I will share soon. It is a simple all in one and cooked in the microwave. Simple enough and TASTY!!!

                                        Ohh, Very glad to hear! Push yourself mindfully a little and keep it slow and steady.

                                          I agree intellectually but emotionally I need to feel like I am productive. I am learning every day to take it easy and unfortunately some days I learn the hard way
