Ask the Test Kitchen
I actually have attempted several exclusive ways of cooking brats (a Wisconsin favorite!), however they continually flip out too dry. What is the satisfactory technique of grilling brats so they live wet and juicy at the inner? —K.P., Green Bay, WisconsinBrats (bratwurst) are a highly spiced German sausage. If they’re overcooked, the casings can cut up, permitting the juices to break out. Pricking the casing before or during cooking also can launch the juices, inflicting the sausage to dry out. Uncooked clean sausage may be cooked immediately at the grill over medium heat for 18-25 minutes or until no longer purple and a meat thermometer reads one hundred sixty°. Watch cautiously and turn often with tongs to avoid overcooking. Avoid pricking with a fork. Uncooked sparkling bratwurst can also be parboiled and then grilled. To parboil, place sausages in a saucepan and cowl with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, exposed, for 10-15 minutes or till the beef is now not purple and a meat thermometer reads 160°. Finish the brats with the aid of grilling over medium warmth for 5-6 minutes, turning regularly.
