Tips & Variations

• For square shapes, use a square container instead of a glass.
• To speed up cooling, place the glasses in a bowl of very cold water for 5 minutes. Replace the water with fresh cold water and chill for another 5 minutes. Once the glasses feel cold to the touch, remove the sausage following the instructions above.
