To sizzle means to cook something by frying. A sizzle is another word for a 'fry-up', and is also short for 'sausage sizzle'.

Sausage sizzles or 'sizzles' are very popular in Australia. Sizzles are very cost-effective, with bread, sausages, onions and condiments all that is required. For this reason, and because a 'sanga' and bread is irresistable to most, sizzles are often chosen for fundraising activites as well as other community-based events.

The best known sizzles in Australia of course are those hosted by Bunnings for a wide range of charties and not-for-profit interest groups around Australia. If you are interested in doing a sizzle at Bunnings, the application form is found here.

If you want to sizzle something at home, you're going to need a good cast iron sizzle pan.

'Sizzle' is also a well-known marketing term. 'Sell the sizzle, not the steak' the addage goes. This means focusing on the customer and what they want, and the emotions and triggers that drive buyer behaviour.
