Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Preheat your countertop roaster to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. If you don't have a countertop roaster, preheat your oven to the same temperature.
2

Pierce the sausage with a toothpick every few inches to prevent the casings from bursting as the kielbasa cooks. Place it in the roaster, and pour in water, beer or any other cooking liquid until it's approximately 1/2-inch deep.
3

Bake the kielbasa for one hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 F when tested with a meat thermometer or instant-read thermometer. For a more even texture in the cooked sausage, turn it over halfway through the cooking time.
4

Remove your sausage from the roaster or roasting pan, and transfer it to a cutting board or serving tray. Let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes, while you prepare side dishes. Alternatively, let it cool for 30 to 45 minutes and cut it into chunks, then brown the pieces in a hot skillet or on the grill.
