I was thinking about cooking some bratwurst on my small George Foreman
indoor grill today. I cannot find the recipe book that came with it.

For the standard size Johnsonville Brats, how long would be ideal to
cook each side? I don't want to burn them, but I want to make sure
they're done.

Thanks,
Anthony

I live in a high-rise apartment building in downtown Chicago. No place
to grill outside. I think they believe we should be able to afford to
have someone else do it (eat out) which explains why there are no
grills outside.

I can never pity Chicagolanders when it comes to food because you have
taquerias all over town, except of course, downtown and the North
Shore.
Johnsonville brats are just not right if not cooked over wood or
charcoal. It's May. Take public transportation (CHI has great trains
and busses) to a park with some lump and a bit of newsprint to start
it. The Johnsonville Hot & Spicy are about the best grilling sausages
I've ever eaten.

This product is already smoked before you bought it. Surely
they'd be pretty good grilled in a frying pan.

I would definitely simmer them in beer for a while. Then just use the
Foreman to put some lines on 'em. :)

Simmer in beer for fifteen/twenty mintues. They will be done. Finish
on grill until your liking.

You don't have a rooftop patio with an area for parties and bbqs? I
thought every high rise comes with one!

Sure, if I wanted to spend $100,000 more. Nope, I'll just look out the
windows and watch other people, across from me( actually a couple of
blocks), have the parties and BBQ's...

All I get to look at is water.

To the OP,

You can skewer them with wood or metal skewers to straighten them out and
fry 'em up. The skewers keep them from curling so much and they're easy to
rotate. Just ramp up the ventilation!

And just how does Anthony get that into a highrise apartment
building?

Sounds like you're in a corner unit. Poor baby! My heart is breaking

That's a dumb question.... rent a crane. In any case, I'd love to
rent that for an event!

I tried to rent a crane, once. I couldn't afford it. I had to settle for
renting a heron.

had to settle for an egret. I'm good enough for rfc, though. </face>

That would be his problem, wouldn't it?

It's more impressive in person, until you actually see the grill inside. It
*IS* humongous, and yes, most likely it is "the worlds largest grill", but
in relation to the size of the trailer, I expected more. There's an entire
kitchen in there, with a couple of restuarant-sized sinks, and much prep
area.

I saw it at the Lakeland Pig Fest http://lakelandpigfest.com/ last January.
Johnsonville was a major sponsor of the Pig Fest.

I noticed it wasn't one big bbq and there were different areas, now I
know what they are. :)

I wonder if that BBQ truck ever comes out to California.... sorta like
the Oscar Meyer truck does? Actually, they should have regional
trucks, if only to save on mileage. In any case: What a great
"event" truck - weddings, dead spreads, corporate events, birthday
parties (LOL)!
