Thanks.

Glad you liked them.

I used to think that too. This guy claims that the holes let the beer soak into the Brats. Try it and see.

Do you make the brats or is this preparation we are talking about?

Dark Beer (Guinness is a nice option)
Onion
Garlic
Molasses
Herbs de Provence
Couple Bay leaves

Poke the brats, cover them with this mixture and simmer until the liquid is gone. I like to do it very slow, couple hours, but you can do it at a quicker simmer and shorter time.

Then throw them on the grill to brown them up some more. Should only take a few minutes.

Enjoy.

The 5lb stuffer is no frills, but cleans up with relative ease, which makes it perfect for the office, commute, etc.

Thanks, Goggles.

Nothing I like to do more than crank out 8-10 pounds of links on the Metra express in the morning.

the molasses blocks up all the holes

Pro tip: holding it in place by clenching between knees while stuffing = a nice quad regime.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

So you too are a Brat poker? I'm a believer in this method.

Only poke them when they are being submerged for hours in a tub of liquid. That way the juices go in and not out.

Yes...and return the Brats to the juice after grilling.

I +1 that... late in my days as a Naperville worker, I found out about that place. Really great stuff.

far too much preparation for a simple brat. good dolphin is hungry when he is hungry

drink the beer while the brat grills. put molasses and bay leaves on after its cooked if you want.

I don't disagree that such preparation would be delicious, but I agree with dolphin - it's a brat. If the brat is already well-crafted, you shouldn't have to do more than grill/fry the meat to your liking. If you're going to dedicate a day or a long period of hours to food, make it a really good cut of steak or the like.

I'm not going to do that to a well-crafted brat. I'm talking about your Sam's Club 18-pack of Johnsonvilles.

And "dedicating a day" is overstating it quite a bit. I'd consider dedicating a day to firing up the smoker for a shoulder or brisket with rubs, injections, heat-monitoring, sprays, wraps, etc.

This is about 5 minutes of throwing stuff in a pan and checking it every hour or so to make sure it's not simmering too high.

I know good dolphin is swamped with a busy school reunion calendar year-round that he barely has a free second, but maybe a Dewskie could spare a few minutes to give it a shot.

I could eat four brats with all the trimmings. Gives me an idea for a double-brat.

I could do three with no problem at all.

I would have never thought it but Thuringer is a superior German sausage to the Brat. Polish is, of course, primary on the hierarchy.

Agree with Doc, that's the same way that I do my Brats minus the garlic, will have to give that a try next time. It takes all of about 5 min to pour beer, cut up onion, assemble brats, pour molasses on top and put on the grill. The molasses caramelizes the brats really nice.

I bet yall would bitch about the "prep" work for making cereal too!
