Grilling bratwurst

[Mark H]

We simmer brats to cook them and put on the grill to crisp the skin. Sometimes the skin breaks and juices fly everywhere.

Try letting he brats cool off before putting them on the grill. When they come out of the simmer, the fat can't wait to get out. If you let them cool down, you'll have a better chance of retaining the moisture when you put them on the fire.

Thanks Mark.

I made some brats made by a local store a week or so ago. I want to be able to say that I have
never had a bad brat, but these were so bland that a mild Italian sausage would have been more exciting.
There are a couple left that have been defrosting this afternoon. I try not to waste food, so it looks like
I will inject them with something to kick them up a little bit. Maybe a mixture of chicken broth and hot sauce.....
I try not to simmer them, well maybe a few laps in the beer pool.
