Buying precooked brats will likely mean you’ll end up with less flavor. Many precooked brats feature added flavorings such as smoke to create the effect of coming right off the grill. You’ll achieve a much better flavor by parboiling and grilling them at home.
Poking holes in the casing of the brat will result in a release of allof the juices and flavors. You’ll also end up with overcooked meat because all of the juices have been released.
Cooking your brats over too high of heat means that the outsides will cook much faster than the insides. If you boil them in too high of heat, the casing will burst and release all of the juices. Grilling over too high of heat will result in a casing that is burnt to a char. So stick with medium heat.
You can simmer your sausages ahead of time and hold them warm until guests are ready to eat. Then, pop ’em on the grill and they’ll make perfect made-to-order sandwiches. It doesn’t get any better than that!
