[Expat]

Amy always boiled them in beer also to get the grease out of them.

I will have to wait till tonight to see it.

Race fans will be talking about this one for years.

I went ahead and set the DVR to record the recording.

It went way over the time expected if that will make a difference on a delayed version.

It went way over the time expected if that will make a difference on a delayed version.

It says it's set from 8:29 to 12:01.

It says it's set from 8:29 to 12:01.

If that was the original scheduled time, I would add at least 30 minutes. It went way over into the golf coverage.

Broke out the gas grill. I dont think I have used it since Amy died.

How long do you boil them?

half dozen Fresh brats would be ~ 30 min (give or take) at full boil

onion's for more flavor adds ~ ½ hour extra

Brat Internal temperature ~ 145 °F

Some people also go by Brown color

Wisconsin Brats

Howdy radar. Glad you said that. I wouldn't have thought to poke them first.

There is some discussion on To Poke - or Not to Poke

One thought is you lose Flavor & Juices

the other thought is it's mostly the Grease and the Flavor is in the Meat ...they may Split from the Grease expansion - still edible - just don't look as pretty

I set it to record the news afterward. It goes to 12:36, so hopefully that'll be enough.

I've heard not to poke them on the grill, but hadn't heard about boiling them.

Never poke never boil.

Boiling just leaches out flavor, fat is flavor. Cook low and slow use tongs

The fat is what always made me nauseous though. It's weird. I could eat a whole pound of bacon, but sausage would tear me up. Sausage gravy? No problem! I've just recently gotten to the point where I can eat breakfast sausage. I'm hoping that carries over to brats.

It really bummed me out because brats and polish sausage, kielbasa, etc. always looked and sounded so good, but if I ate them, I was gonna be puking within an hour or two.

I never could eat spare ribs or any of the fattier cuts of pork (the dark meat mostly) either. Pork loin was fine, and baby back ribs were fine. Spare ribs or country style ribs were a no go.

If I eat too much bacon, it makes me sick. I can eat a lot of it, or eat it several times in a day, but if I get too much, my stomach gets upset for a couple days. Of course, it hasn't stopped me from over doing it at times. Sometimes, bacon just tastes extra good.

I have always just gone with the low and slow.
