Hot dogs or Brats - Page 3

Happy Monkey · 05-30-2008, 04:16 PM

Panting is much less annoying than a spoiled kid, so I've gotta go with the hot dogs.

The best. Juicy on the inside, crispy skin.

And LJ is right in this case. Putting ketchup on brats is an offense against nature.

How Brats are done in OUR house !!

Turbodog beer , onion , Johnsonville Brats

Get the Onions going ,

Add the beer and the brats

Boil them on down , but save the Pan Juice ( You WILL need that for later !!)

A little time on the grill , thats what the top rack is for

Some pan Juice and some Good Grainy Deli mustard and its ALL good !!!

Of corse a Fillet and some tatters and green beens don't hurt eather !!!

Flint · 06-02-2008, 09:51 AM

Goddang, zip... I'm totally doin' that.

Brats -- but only if when you bite into it there is a bubble of molten grease that squirts directly into your eye or onto a brand new tie.

jinx · 06-02-2008, 01:09 PM

I'm gonna try that too Zip, and I don't even really like brats. I think its the onions that got me...

Flint · 06-02-2008, 02:10 PM

For me, it was the whole reduction sauce thing.

If you poke 'em with a fork before you put them on the grill, they won't split as badly and they also won't squirt in your eye.

Nice pictures, Zip. That's pretty much what I had in mind here:

But I don't do the reduction thing.

Another tip is to brown some onion chunks on the grill with the brats. They make a nice aroma and are a nice topping to the brats (if you don't do the reduction thing).

Flint · 06-02-2008, 03:44 PM

If you poke 'em, so they don't split... how do you know when they're done?

dar512 · 06-02-2008, 04:10 PM

I take no chances with pork. I make sure there's no pink left in the center.

footfootfoot · 06-02-2008, 08:30 PM

Pork, don't worry about. A friend of mine who is a large animal vet said there hasn't been a case of trichinosis in this country in over 30 years. Then again she raises organic pigs. Well, clean-ish, well lighted, gently smothered with a feather pillow in their sleep.

Chickens, on the other hand. OMG. clean em and clean em again and keeep those fuckers cold as ice until you are ready to cook them through and through.

Wait, we're talking about snausages. never mind. cook that pork.

Sundae · 06-02-2008, 08:34 PM

It's rarely the animals these days, and all in the cooking.
Chicken & pork - pink is only cute on one type of Barbie.

best bratwursts are the white ones made of finely ground veal.
