This study seeks to investigate the effect of cooking methods and temperature on products yield of sausage. Sausage (g/100g: beef 65.0, lard 20.0, sodium chloride (SC) 2.0, others 13.0) was prepared and allotted in a completed randomized design using three cooking methods (CM): boiling, grilling and frying each at cooking temperatures (CT) of 80, 90 and 100oC until an internal temperature of 72oC was reached. Samples from each treatment were subjected product yield. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistic and ANOVA at α0.05. Breakfast sausage grilled was significantly higher (P<0.05) in product yield followed by boiling with least product yield in frying cooking method. Among the grilling methods, breakfast sausage grilled at 80 0C was observed to be statistically higher in product yield (88.71%) than 90 0C and 100 0C (86.71 and 81.81% respectively). From the results obtained, sausage should be grilled at 800C due to higher product yield.
