I put it in the oven at 375 for 10 minutes and it started leaking some so I pulled it out and used a meat thermometer which shot up past 180. So I figured it was done since you only need 160

Turns out the thermometer is somehow messed up because now it’s stuck at 160. So while it tasted great and was sizzling hot I’m not sure it got to the right temperature to kill parasites. Am I getting trichinosis or cysticercosis?

Have eaten cold sausage for 30 years and never once had an issue.

Like.. Richards/Savoie’s cold out of the pack? You must be built different!

This is why I don’t “cook”

Can’t even properly operate a meat thermometer

im assuming it was already cooked.

if it was sizzling hot when you ate it, it wasnt raw.

Well no of course it wasn’t raw it was in the oven for about 10min at 375 I just don’t think the thermometer was calibrated right

ETA: yes I was drinking throughout this incident.

Yep! When I’m cutting it up, I’ll sneak a piece or two. I’ve been doing that for 20 years. No problems.

If it stated “smoked” on the package, you should be good.

Yes. But don’t tell OP. Let him keep using a meat thermometer on his already smoked sausage. Maybe somebody will get it on video.

I have always put a few bites of smoked sausage in my mouth when cutting for meals.

Now fresh sausage, that's a different matter.

Same here. I also do it with smoked sausage, andouille or not, from other meat markets. I'll look at it closely to make sure it doesn't appear raw, but they usually aren't.

I like to eat the ends cold while cutting up for gumbos or red beans.

Richard's, Savoie's and other smoked sausages are fully cooked before packaging, especially the Andouille type known for it's smoky flavor.

Those commercial processors use liquid smoke to season their sausages and finish them off in a huge oven to cook them.

Mom & pop places like Bailey's in Laplace actually hang the sausages and smoke in a smoke house on premises with real wood to get that great flavor.

I've been wanting to get some Anduille from Laplace. Are they the best?

Just an FYI they emailed me back and said that they’re not “ready to eat” and should be cooked to 165 but that I was safe with how I heated.

I absolutely love the andouille from Bailey's and nearby is also Jacob's that also sells Andouille. Jacob's is on 61 and if coming from N.O. you have to pass it to get to Bailey's.

Jacob's is also on the same side of 61 no more than a block from Bailey's. I've not tried Jacob's but I've heard it is also a good sausage.
