Our Best Tips for Juicy Brats
Be sure the bratwurst reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (without overcooking) before serving by using a meat thermometer.
When cooking for a crowd, cook in batches and toss back in air fryer for 1-2 minutes to reheat before serving.
Reheat leftover brats in the air fryer to keep the skin crisp and inside juicy.
Have leftovers? Slice them and serve with a toothpick as appetizers (with a mustard dipping sauce), or add them to a soup, an omelet, or a stir-fry.
