I just gotta ask.....
And, this is a real question, not chit stirrin'
We abhor boiling meats and then smoking/cooking mainly because the flavor goes into the liquid and leaves a bland meat product.
So, why do we boil Brats, then cook?????
Do we do something with the flavored up water? Or pitch it?
I have just always thrown them onto the grill or into the smoker, not knowing any better
Help me understand the "boiling first" logic here
