Pressured Brats Recipes

PRESSURED BRAT'S

Steps:

• Place the steamer tray in the bottom of your Pressure Cooker.
• Pour in water to the level of the top of the tray.
• Shake in the Worcestershire Sauce, around so it blends with the water.
• Place 5 bratwurst on top of the steamer tray.
• Sprinkle garlic powder, onion flakes and black pepper over the brats.
• Place the remaining 5 bratwurst on top of the first 5.
• Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion flakes and pepper over top brats.
• Place the Pressure Cooker lid on the pot, making sure it is seated and secured, and center the pot on your burner.
• Put the regulator on the steam tube.
• Turn your heat on medium high to high, according to your Pressure Cooker directions.
• When the regulator starts rocking, (it takes a few minutes to build pressure, your indicator button will go up, some sputtering around cooker steam areas is normal) turn down your heat gradually until you get a slow/medium rock from your regulator.
• Set your timer for 10 minutes.
• When the timer goes off, turn off the heat and LIFT the cooker to a cool burner, if you use an electric stove. (Try to protect your Pressure Cooker's bottom from scratches).
• Let the Pressure Cooker cool until no more steam escapes from the holes and the pressure indicator button drops.
• When you open the lid, please be careful and lift it away from you. The bratwurst will be hot.
• You may want to adjust the timing to about 8 minutes of pressure and then sear the bratwurst on the grill or in a cast iron skillet. The brats will be tender inside! Mmmm!

INSTANT POT BRATS

Steps:

• Turn the Instant Pot to saute and let heat until it reads HOT, or for 2-3 minutes.
• Add in 1 teaspoon of the oil. Pierce each brat several times with a fork and then place the brats into the oil and sear on each side until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the brats and place them onto a clean plate.
• Add the remaining teaspoon of oil and onion and saute the onion for 2-3 minutes, or until just beginning to soften.
• Turn the pressure cooker off and add in the beer, or stock, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the inner pot.
• Add the brats back to the inner pot and spoon the sauerkraut over the brats.
• Set to cook on high pressure for 6 minutes. Once the cook time has elapsed, allow the pressure to release naturally on its own for at least 10 minutes.
• Serve the bratwurst with the onions and sauerkraut on buns with mustard or plain as desired.

EASY INSTANT POT BRATS WITH BEER

Steps:

• Turn on the Instant Pot and set to Saute High.
• Brown the bratwurst lightly in the butter on both sides, about 2-3 minutes each. You might need to brown these in two batches, depending on how many brats you're cooking and the size of your pressure cooker.
• Remove all of the brats from the Instant Pot and set asie on a. plate.
• Place a rack on the bottom, set all of your bratwurst on top of the rack.
• Carefully pour the beer over the bratwurst.
• Set your instant pot to Manual or Pressure Cook (depending on your model) and cook for 6 minutes. Once done, do a Natural Release for 10 minutes and then release any remaining pressure. Enjoy!
