Notes
HOW TO REHEAT BRATWURST
- Grill: Wrap the brats in aluminum foil and place it on the cooler side of the grill (medium heat) for about 8 minutes.
- Microwave: Reheat grilled brats in the microwave in 30-second increments. They may splatter so it's a good idea to cover them with parchment paper.
- Oven: Place them on a baking sheet and bake them at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
