How long to boil brats in beer

Hearty, filling, and intensely flavorful, bratwursts are a brilliant sausage for barbecues, backyard cookouts, and tailgating.

Usually made with pork, beef, or veal, they're available to buy in a variety of styles. You might find them smoked, cured, or even pre-cooked.

For the best results, though, you'll want to buy them fresh and cook the Bavarian sausages yourself.

There are several ways to prepare and cook brats. They can be cooked directly in an oven or skillet, grilled, or simply boiled.

But it's combining two methods — boiling, followed by a little time on the grill — that really takes them to the next level. The cooking liquid makes the brats plump, juicy, and succulent while the hot grill lends them a beautiful char and a rich smoky flavor.

Since the sausages start out raw, the timing matters when it comes to cooking.

They should be simmered in liquid for around 10 to 15 minutes, so they're just cooked through. Then, toss them on the grill for a few minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 160 deg
