Doneness
The casings are browned and taut and the center reads 160 °F (71 °C). Juices run clear; a split, leaking casing usually means they were pierced or cooked too hot.
Oil & seasoning
None needed — bratwurst renders plenty of its own fat.
Watch out for
- Don't pierce the casings — they hold in the juices.
- Confirm 160 °F internal; fresh pork sausage must be fully cooked.
- Leave gaps between links so they brown on all sides.
- Toast the buns separately in the last minute or two.
