How the fuck do I cook brats thoroughly

[Anonymous No.15600144]

please help me /ck/ i am losing my mind. out of the 5 brat package i bought the other day, only 2 remain that have not been undercooked or wasted. My most recent brat, I followed the instructions i read online very closely. I let it sit in hot (not boiling) water for 10 minutes, then took it out and pan fried it for a few minutes to brown the outside. After that I checked the middle and it was pink as fuck. So i straight up boiled it for 5 more minutes, put it back in the pan for 5 minutes, and its still fucking pink. Every time I hype myself up for a tasty meal with some good beer kraut, i spend around 20 minutes preparing a single sausage, and it just fucking breaks my spirit. I gave in tonight and just ate the brat with some pink in it. I didnt want to burn the outside like in previous attempts and still have the fucker pink. What do I do. I cant go through this again with the other 2 brats.

I always have a side dish and cook the brats in it. For instance, I had some "italian sausage" style brats recently and I made some italian beans & greens (cannellini beans and escarole in tomato sauce) to go with it.
>grill the brats on the countertop grill till good grill marks
>put em in the side dish
>simmer
Another favorite is to make a hominy side dish by frying onions + peppers, drop the hominy in & pour a beer in it, drop the grilled brats in. The beer and the hominy starch reduce to a fantastic gravy-like sauce. Squeeze of lime & handful of cilantro... mmm.

well ideally i want bratwurst to be a quick and easy meal. Tonight I just had a brat on toast with kraut and spicy mustard, with a quick salad on the side. I'm a single guy and just about every girl in my town is at least a vegetarian so its more of a bachelor meal, ya feel? Although I will absolutely have to try that hominy side dish, that shit sounds amazing. Saved.

Yeah that's obviously the problem you absolute retard. Unless you're trying to sous vide simply putting food in a pot of warm water for a few minutes is not a good way to cook.

[Anonymous No.15600197]

>>15600173
It doesn't take that long. The only prep you have to do for that hominy dish is cutting the onion and pepper, but you could skip it if you were lazy.
Anyway you could easily get frozen vegetables and some kind of canned sauce, broth, beer + shredded cheese, whatever.
A brat is already not that quick and easy because it does need to be both simmered and grilled, so anything extra you can do within that cooking time span isn't much added effort.

[Anonymous No.15600200]

>>15600169
that makes sense, i guess i was just misinformed originally. is it reasonable to boil it for closer to 20 minutes to get a juicier sausage? I read that the USDA has ammended their food safety guides to stipulate that a pork sausage can be slightly pink, but only as long as the internal temperature reached 145 F. However I dont have a meat thermometer and i dont wanna push that line too much

[Anonymous No.15600222]

20 min of boiling will surely be a lot safer than 10 min of hot water. Should be fine. At wurst you have one more failed experiment :^)

20 minutes of boiling is egregious. Grill first so it's already hot, add to hot simmering sauce/broth (or water), 10 minutes tops but usually closer to 8.

[Anonymous No.15600265]

Just pan fry them. I've lived in Germany my entire life and I've never seen anyone boil them first, not even the really fat ones. But then again, I've never seen anyone add beer to sauerkraut, either.

If you think they might burn before they're cooked through just turn down the heat, add a splash of water to the pan, put on a lid and let the steam take care of the rest.

If a sausage is raw/fresh, I pan fry it in oil first, then add some sliced onions, or jarred or fresh drained kraut or both. You, in your paranoid concern could even butterfly them to brown the insides. I warm through the sausages with onions and kraut, then I add some deglazing liquid, from broth to beer, maybe wine or cider, or even leftover coffee, bring to boil scraping up any browned bits, immediately reduce to simmer, lid on about 15 minutes on simmer to suck up the flavors in the liquid and yes, to get well done and tender. Are you not covering it? That's the kind of heat you want to come to a safe temperature, or a slow simmer. I always braise and cover sausages.

Anyway, at this point, you can remove them to a cutting board, one by one to further slice them into coins if desired and return to the pan to sizzle up the exposed ends if I want to recrisp the guys.

With brats I typically keep them frozen, as I buy them in larger packs. From frozen, I typically lightly boil for around twenty minutes while I work with onions in another pan. Carmelize, fry, whatever. When they are very firm and grey, I pull them out of the water and pan fry at medium heat on all sides. Put into a nice toasted bun with mustard and the prepared onions. It's real good.

Medium heat, 4 minutes a side, flip 4 times.
Try and put a raw side down, obviously, but they're smile shaped - 2 of the sides will be tricky.

If you're working in a skillet or frying pan, you can add about 6 ounces of beer when you flip the final time and cover it (with either a "proper lid", or just set a baking sheet over to trap the steam in). If adding beer, just keep cooking and flipping every 4 minutes until the beer evaporates.

Best way is grilling them. Using the oven grill also kinda works, but they tend to come out drier. Electric grills also work kinda well. Pan frying is kind of a pain in the ass, because the fat sprinkles all over and the sausages just get brown on the spots they touch the pan. Bratwurst is never boiled in Germany though.

>>15601317
It's unironically this. When you make a soup, you draw the flavor out of the meat and veggies and dilute it through the broth. For cooking bratwurst, you want to use a small amount of liquid, and allow the evaporation to concentrate the flavor into the sausage. My method is quite different from this anon's, but the goal is largely similar

German reporting in.

You aren't supposed to make Bratwürste in a pan but a grill. Now that we have this out of the way, you are left with two posible solutions.

Either you simply use a smaller flame till they are done and only tun up the heat for the last couple minutes or, themore widely used way, is to simply turn up the heat and put some water in a pan with a lid. You're basically steaming the sausage like a Bockwurst. Once it's done you take off the lid, put in some clarified butter and fry till brown enought.

Just because Bratwürste are a quick meal, that doesn't mean that you can just hrow them in a hot ass pan and expect edible oucome after minutes. It's quick in terms of a homemade meal, where you make dinner in 30 instead of 90 minutes. In the meanwhile you are supposed to make some potato salat or krautsalat to go with it.

Nah, If you're grilling sausage the secret is to have two zones on your grill, one for direct cooking directly over the coals and another for indirect, which is to the side of the coals. You’ll first sear the sausage on direct heat for a few minutes a side to get nice sear marks and caramelisation, and then you’ll move them to an area of indirect cooking, meaning not directly over the coals, put the lid on and cook them until the internal temp reaches 155F.

Simple, caramelised and nicely browned sausages that aren’t burnt, are still juicy and have the Smokey flavour from the grill.

depends on the bratwurst, but generally you can throw them in a pan with low heat.
To cook Weißwurst though you bring water to a boil, remove the pot from the heat and gently put the Weißwürste in the still hot water. If they burst you fucked up because the water was still too hot.

>please help me /ck/ i am losing my mind. out of the 5 brat package i bought the other day

German here.The best way besides grilling on traditional charcoal is this:

- Put Bratwurst on some aluminium foil on a baking tray.
- Place it in the middle rail of your oven, not higher!
- Switch on the glowing electric thing at temp 220°C, which we call Grillschlange in Germany, used for gratinating.
- Wait around 5 to 7 minutes until the bratwurst has a nice appetizing gratinated brown crust.
- Open oven and turn Bratwurst to other side.
- Wait another 4 minutes until they have the desired "tanning".
- Enjoy


Pros:
- wonderful even tanning
- if wished, Bratwurst gats some traditional delicate crispy rifts
- no pan needed
- no extra frying oil/butter fat needed
- no fat splashing in the kitchen
- nearly no washing up needed
- comparated to frying in an open pan relatively low smell and fumes in the house

P.S.: Never, never boil Bratwurst before frying it!!! Not with fresh raw bratwurst from your local butcher. Not with vacccumized, pre-cooked Bratwurst from supermarket!
Just put it on the grill, in the oven as described above, or in a pan. Look for German videos on Youtube about Bratwurst braten, Bratwürste grillen, Oktoberfest Bratwürste grillen etc
