Can I cut Italian sausage before cooking?
Chef's answer
You can either slice the sausages in half, lengthwise, to get a crisp on the exposed interior (great for sausage sandwiches), leave them intact and crisp the casings, or cut them into coins or chunks.

Depending on how (poorly) you cut it, you might significantly lose moisture in the meat. Yes, more surface area will = more developed bark and the smaller pieces will definitely cook faster. However, you might be trading for a quicker cooking time by putting the succulent nature of your roast at risk.

A-Meatloaves most often crumble when they contain too many bread crumbs or too few eggs or when they have not cooled partially in the fat-filled loaf pan in which they were baked. We suggest adding no more than 1/3 cup of crumbs for each pound of meat and adding 1 egg for each pound of meat plus an extra egg.14 Apr 1988.

When you're actually cutting meat for beef jerky, it's important to cut it one-fourth-of-an-inch thick, and a meat slicer will help with this. If the jerky is too thick it will be too chewy, and it if it's too thin, it'll become too tough.

And while I'd never advise slashing into a natural casing hot dog, there's a dramatic whole world out there for skinless dogs. So why not explore it? Slashing is all about creating edges and ridges on a dog (anything to increase the dog's surface area) that will get crispy on the grill.
