How long do you boil brats before grilling?

Question

plz don't just tell me that you dont boil them cause we normally do but my wife isn't here and i forgot to ask her how long to boil them!

Answer 1

No need to boil them at all.  Just pierce a few holes in them with a fork and put them on the grill.

Answer 2

You don't. While grilling spritz water on them. In tin foil add cut onion and bell pepper put on grill with a little olive oil.. Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Boil your Brats for about 20 minutes before throwing them on the grill.  Slice up and onion in the water with the Brats for a little extra flavor.

Answer 6

I put them straight on the grill. I guess it depends on what you like.

Answer 7

Depends. Are they 2 or 3 year old brats? The 3 year olds kick alot more so you may have to boil 'em longer! (Kidding, of course.)

I usually don't boil bratwursts at all. Just cook them over a lower flame, for a longer time. Crisps up the skins nicely.

But if you really want to; just a few minutes to heat them up all the way through should do it.  

Answer 8

I never boil them, although my brother-in-law boils his in beer first

Answer 9

About 15-20  minutes....that's how long I boil mine anyway.

Answer 10
