Description: Michael Symon reveals the secret to perfect bratwurst every single time—and it's not what you think. In this episode of Michael's 101, the hosts discover why poaching before grilling is the game-changer for juicy, perfectly cooked sausages that never split.   Michael Symon joins Clinton Kelly and Carla Hall to break down bratwurst and Eastern European sausage techniques. Learn the two-step cooking method (poaching in beer, stock, or sauerkraut, then finishing on the grill), why this prevents dry, mealy results, and how to build flavor with different poaching liquids. Plus, Michael settles the great condiment debate once and for all: mustard only—never ketchup.   🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors:   Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon's collection featured on the show.https://frontgate.com   FreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.com   Subscribe to Chewed Up Show for new episodes every Monday, and Wednesday.
