Tips & Tricks

For an extra burst of flavor, add spices like paprika, chili powder, or cayenne pepper to the simmering broth.
Experiment with different condiments and toppings to personalize your Ripper.
If you don't have a deep fryer, you can use a large pot with enough oil to fully submerge the sausages.
