There are mixed reviews about the flavored brats, while some say they taste great others feel that they spoil the original flavor. Poking brats result in fat leaking out and the meat becomes bland. It also increases the chances of your sausages getting dried out.
Some people treat brats like hot dogs and cook them in a similar manner by tossing on a hot grill, resulting in splits. If the brat splits, the flavors leaks out on the grill grates. So, set the grill to low-medium temperature to allow it to cook slowly instead of rupturing. You may get some leakages even when you cook on a low flame, but at least it will be a small leak instead of a blowout.
After you are done grilling, let the sausages rest and allow juices to distribute evenly. Remember that boiling brats is only meant to shorten the cooking process and kill the pathogens. So, boil no more than minutes on medium or high heat and 20 minutes maximum if you are simmering on low heat. Some people swear against boil brats in water, beer or any other liquid as it extracts the fatty juices, making the meat bland. Steaming with onion slices and simmering beer is often preferred over boiling.
The brats should be completely submerged in the liquid or else they will not be cooked evenly. Meat is considered safe to eat when the pathogen bacteria is killed. Any kind of sausage that contains minced meat may stay pink inside even after it is thoroughly cooked.
So, we suggest that you follow the thermometer and clock instead of going by the color indicator. If you do not have a thermometer, take the knife test. To do this, you will need to stick a knife at the center of the meat and count till 8. Cook the brats for 5 minutes on each side.
Turn them over and cook them for another 5 minutes. Remove the brats from the oven. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the bratwurst. Stick the tip of the thermometer into one bratwurst and let the thermometer sit for a minute. Heat up your smoker. Smoking meats is a very different process from grilling on a barbecue or cooking on a stove. Smoking involves lower temperatures and longer cooking times.
Use tongs to place bratwurst inside the smoker. Line up the bratwurst inside the smoker and be sure to give each brat a little room. Be careful not to puncture or tear the casings on each brat. Smoke the bratwurst for 2 to 2. Leave the smoker to cook the brat for 2 to 2. Rather, leave them alone for at least 2 hours. After about 2 hours, use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the bratwurst. Remove the bratwurst.
Use tongs to take the bratwurst out of the smoker. Set them on a plate. Be sure to use a different plate than the one you may have used to load them in.
You want to avoid cross-contamination between raw bratwurst and cooked bratwurst. Place bratwurst in a microwave safe dish. Only put a few brats in at a time. This will ensure that each brat has enough room around it to cook thoroughly. Cover bratwurst with water. Fill the dish with enough lukewarm water to cover them. Cook on high for 2 minutes. Turn Brats over and cook for 2 more minutes. Use tongs to grab the bratwurst and turn them over. Space them out so they have enough room to thoroughly cook.
Cook on a high setting for 2 more minutes. In a crock pot combine sausages, 1 bottle of amber ale, brown sugar and vinegar. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for hours or until sausages are cooked through. Remove cooked sausages from crock pot.
Serve with spicy brown mustard. Our personal favorite! Meant for summer camping and pack trips, or just around the fire out behind the house or cabin. In your Dutch Oven over medium-high heat, heat the butter or olive oil. When butter is hot, add the Brats and brown them, turning the sausages frequently to assure all sides are evenly browned. Once sausages are browned, add the potatoes, sliced onions, chopped garlic, sweet peppers, and sage, stirring gently until onions are cooked.
Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and let simmer for 45 minutes checking liquid level on occasion and add additional beer if necessary. As simple as it gets! Cut a willow, stab a juicy brat and cook it over the fire. Most important is the type of fire. It also increases the chances of drying the sausages out. Boiling brats actually leaches flavor from the meat. Steaming them with simmering beer and onion slices in an aluminum pan is okay to keep brats warm and juicy.
Boiling in any manner is never okay. Most people cook brat like they do hot dogs, tossing them on a hot fire, causing them to rupture. When a brat ruptures, half of the flavor is splattered all over the grill grates. Set your grill to medium-low temperatures when grilling brats, allowing them to slow cook instead of exploding all over the grill. Even when you cook them at lower temperatures, you may still have some leakage. Boiling involves cooking in water, therefore you need to know when to use which pot.
This actually saves you a lot of time because if you are just boiling an egg in 1 litre of water, you are just using more water than needed. Moreover, it will require more time to reach the boil. When boiling, make sure that your pots can be covered — avoid using pans. Using deeper pots actually help to keep the food submerged properly and evenly distribute the heat. Afterall, it is the water that is cooking!
On top of it being the best way to cook food, boiling actually concentrates the flavour of your food. It also allows you to cook a large amount of food with ease. Although some nutrients leach out in the water that is used in boiling, boiling does not affect the nutritional status of the food product. Just use the water that you boiled in along with the dish and you will not lose any nutrients while cooking! Hi, I am Charlotte, I love cooking and in my previous life, I was a chef.
