I learned from my grandma and a sausage maker in Mt. Angel, Oregon.
The secret to a good bratwurst,......
"It's all about ..THE BITE. |
|
It should snap as you bite into it and then be juicy and full of flavor"...Jim Hoke, Mt. Angel Sausage Company |
Buy enough Bratwurst to go around-at least 1 per person. Anyone with a hearty appetite will want "seconds."
1. Some recipes say to prick the sausage before as it will keep the casing from bursting. Usually there is enough of an opening at the end of the sausage to give it a little ventilation. |
|
2. Put into a skillet with about½ inch of water, and cover. |
|
3. Cook over medium heat till water is evaporated.
DO NOT BOIL!
This may burst the skin, simmer instead.
This is how they will look when cooked. Water has evaporated.

Plastic basting bottles with brush heads eliminate messy dripping between your bowl of barbecue sauce and the grill. Just fill the bottle, screw on the brush head, and squeeze to release sauce onto the brush. We tried out four bottles, basting grilled chicken. Brushes with soft silicone bristles gently distributed sauce, while stiffer bristles tore and even removed delicate chicken skin. We also preferred long-necked bottles, which kept our hands far from the heat.

Tool Wizard Grill & BBQ Brush Wizard Grill Scrubber.
This brush was tested and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by Cooks Illustrated Magazine.
This has a lightweight polypropylene grip, and a single large, tough pad (with a spare included) that did an excellent job cleaning off a baked-on mixture of honey, molasses, barbecue sauce, and mustard. |
