Can't imagine not being able to slice chilled sausage with a sharp
knife. Maybe cleaning your knife after every two or three slices would
help. BUT. If the sliced
shapes are important to you, you're going to lose it in a braise.
Because of the
casing those slices will puff into quasi-meatballs, some of the oddest
shaped ones you've ever seen. Like when a condom--nevermind. If you
want to retain the sliced shape you've got to do what the others
suggest and cook the whole sausage first.
