Cooking instructions

Once your kiszka sausage has fully thawed in the fridge, it's time to cook it and enjoy! There are a number of ways to enjoy this traditional Polish meat. A few of the most common preparations include grilling it outdoors, frying on a skillet, baking in the oven or building into a sandwich. See this blog article for detailed instructions on how to prepare your kiszka from Polana according to any one of these methods!

We also highly recommend enjoying this blood sausage hot off the grill in the summer. When preparing the Kiszka, do not pierce the skins. Cook over a low flame using a gas grill, and cook slowly to prevent the skins from bursting. For a charcoal grill, wait until the charcoal has some white ash and is not too hot. You can cook with your grill’s lid down to heat the sausages through. Enjoy with fresh sauerkraut & mustard!

Smacznego!
