Do You Parboil Your Brats?

Tweet

I love brats and Italian sausages, I'm not going to lie. Perhaps it's the German in me. We like our wurst. Wir sind Deutsche. Wir mögen unsere Wurst. Es ist einfach gutes Essen. Hopefully Google Translate did that justice. I don't actually speak any German. But I like them cooked any way I can eat them. On the grill. In the frying pan. Stewed. Or in the crockpot. Give me a bratwurst cooked in sauerkraut slow cooked in a crockpot any day of the week and you will find me "So glücklich wie eine Lerche," or happy as a lark. But if I do them on the grill or even in a frying pan, I always parboil them first. Usually in beer. It helps to sort of pre-cook them, so they are done on the inside but not burnt on the outside to get them just right. Do you like brats? How do you cook them? What's your favorite dish with brats? Do you parboil them first? What's your favorite way to eat them?
