Cooking Bratwurst
on the Stove

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.Prick each sausage with a sharp fork, to keep them from bursting during cooking.
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.
