How to cook my brats?

[negolien]

Hey all,

I got some brats from wildforks but don't feel like firing up the grill. I got an airfryer, a broiler, ci skillet how should I cook em. Gonna put em on ballpark tailgater rolls like hot dogs split in half.

I like beer braised brats. I'll brown the brats in the skillet with some butter. Remove the brats and add onions and saute for a couple of minutes. Put the brats back in with some Lagunitas Imperial stout, maybe a cup at most, cook down until the liquid is almost gone...

Not a big beer fan can i do it with say beef stock?

Buy a package of sauerkraut, brown brats then add kraut and heat. Serve on hot-dog type rolls with spicy brown mustard.

Damn, I'm hungry now...

Same, I add green peppers to the mix also. But since you're not a beer fan you could use broth or even water. I like the kraut idea too

Yes, beef stoc k works. I've used apple juice, too...

Sure but there will be enough braising liquid from the sauerkraut - at least in my experience anyways.

When I don't feel like firing up the grill, I'll throw them in a cast iron with a little water and oil. the water will steam them until it evaporates, and then the oil will brown them up nicely.

I've done this with sausage as well. Really nice results.

Bearcarver swears by the air fryer agree with sauerkraut, onion,and spicy mustard

My favorite way to do them is to poach them in water, and once cooked just crisp up the outside in a pan
Sauerkraut and perogies makes a perfect side

Brown them, place them in a baking dish on a bed of sauerkraut. Cover with stuffing. Bake and enjoy.

I made some brats yesterday morning for last night’s supper. I poached them in water (you can use liquid of your choice) at 170F until IT was over 150F then into a skillet with butter and browned them up, not trying to cook farther just brown up the outside for flavor. They were delicious.

Method depends on the brat type to me but the standard german method is my default is this^. Smoked brats like knockers do well in the oven baked in kraut. In fact, often times I prefer to use kielbasa instead.

With heat

Oh yeah! Just did that the other day. Added some crushed tomatoes to the kraut.
