How do you keep bratwurst from bursting?
Chef's answer
Even if you cook the sausage slowly enough to prevent a blowout, the grill is too hot and you'll burn the outsides before you can cook the middle all the way through. The solution: Cook your sausages lower and slower by simmering them in liquid. This allows the sausages to cook evenly all the way through.
