The perfect first step before the BBQ(Grill)
We are talking about a fresh (raw meat) Bratwurst now and not a smoked one. The perfect Bbqued bratwurst is made easier by using a two-step cooking process.
1. Cook it completely on a stove top or microwave first in moist heat.
2.Then it's as easy to cook the bratwurst as it is a hot dog....just make sure the fire is not too hot. Brown and serve to make a nice crunchy skin and juicy center. You will know they are done when your mouth starts to water.
At the same time that you are BBQing the bratwurst make trays out of foil or buy something similar and put your kraut and grilled onions on the edge of your BBQ.
Get some "Hoagie buns or buns that are bigger than hot dog buns.
Dress these German puppies with the works. Wash them down with plenty of the season's appropriate brew . This 2 step process insures that you won't end up with a raw middle, or dark burnt skin by the time it is completely done.
If you are a seasoned BBQ'er then you can brown them over the hot part of the BBQ and then move them to a cooler part of the bbq to finish them.
What you don't want to do is cook them at too high of heat so the skin splits. This is the sign of a real amateur bratwurst cook.
So before you slap the sausages on the BBQ , why not try this 2 step method of precooking them.
