Questions about Bratwurst sausage
How do you cook bratwurst in a frying pan without splitting the skins?
Put the sausages in a pan with a splash of water and cook gently, turning them, until the water evaporates. Add a little oil and brown them over a medium heat; avoid pricking the skins, which lets the juices escape.
How long should you grill bratwurst?
Grill over a medium heat, turning often, for about 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness. Check the centre with a food thermometer: it should reach 70 °C for 2 minutes.
What do you serve with bratwurst?
Try it with sauerkraut, mustard and a crusty roll, or serve it with potato salad. In a German-style plate, bratwurst also goes well with mashed potato and braised red cabbage.
Can you eat bratwurst raw?
Treat fresh bratwurst as raw meat, even if it looks pale or has been smoked: cook it thoroughly before eating. It is ready when the centre reaches 70 °C for 2 minutes.
How should you store bratwurst?
Keep fresh bratwurst covered in the fridge and cook it within 1–2 days of buying it. Freeze it if you will not use it in that time, and thaw it in the fridge before cooking.
What is the difference between bratwurst and a frankfurter?
Bratwurst is usually a fresh sausage that you cook before eating, often made with pork or a mixture of meats and seasoned with spices such as marjoram. Frankfurters are typically finely minced and cooked or smoked during production, so they are often sold ready to eat.
What is bratwurst usually made from?
The name refers to a German sausage, traditionally made from finely minced meat—often pork, veal or beef—seasoned and stuffed into a casing. Recipes and textures vary by region; some bratwurst is sold fresh, while other types are cooked or smoked.
