Boil bratwurst.
Parboil them? I simmer them in beer, sliced onions, garlic, and a couple spices so they get cooked most of the way through then finish them on the grill. You can then pour out most of the beer and add some brown sugar and saute for some quick caramelized onions to put on the brats.
I mean just dropping them in boiled water.
Seemed so weird. I've only ever grilled them.
Ime you need to pre cook them otherwise it’s extremely hard to get to a safe temp on the grill without going dry and burnt
A Russian room mate got a big chunk of beef fat from the butcher, poked holes in it and put garlic cloves in them, sprinkled with salt and pepper and then put it in on a plate in the cupboard for a month. Then got it out and spread it on wonder bread.
Apparently this a very common thing called shpek.
I've seen my wife several times cut up raw chicken meat etc then go and start doing the vegetables on the same board no rinse or anything, every time she says jt was an absent minded mistake, but I'm sure she's trying to kill me
salmonella anyone.
Tbf if everything's getting cooked/washed right after it shouldn't matter but... ick
Nah i mean salad etc haha.
Oh
The perfect crime
My mum used to cook mince in the microwave. From raw.
My father had been repackaging a gigantic pack of raw chicken breasts into smaller freezer packs.
There was raw chicken juice all over the cutting board, the counter, everywhere basically.
He grabbed a cleaning cloth and wiped the counter down, then without rinsing it, proceeded to wash his face with it.
Yes, I grew up with a tremendous amount of food issues because of my father. He poisoned us nearly weekly. It was only in my later adulthood where I simply established a rule that I would not eat a single thing that he prepared.
What the almighty fuck.
Oh dude the stories I could tell you
<Flashdance_Only_Its_With_Chicken_Juice.gif>
legit lol thank you ahaha
I'm just glad someone had some idea what I was trying to describe.
You made me feel old with that reference haha
Kinda sucks, doesn't it?
Still, I keep picturing your dad, basking in sweat, running a pho shop in Ho Chi Minh in the summertime or the like, wiping his brow with chicken-stock soaked dish towels.
Yes, he was absolutely covered in sweat. He was a severe hyper sweater. He was washing the sweat off of his face with the cleaning cloth. That he had just used to wipe pink slimy chicken fluid.
