Bratwurst???

[rattlereel]

I made some venison brats and they taste good but they unraveled when they were cooked. How can I prevent this from happening?

[SrBrits]

don't quite know what you mean when you say unraveled, please define unraveled.

Are you wrapping one brat one way (twist towards you) and the next brat the other way (twist away from you)? Make sure you have multiple turns in the twist

I looked through a couple of my sausage making books and they said pretty much what MNHuntress just did. You also will want to let the skins dry before you start cooking them.

[rattlereel]

The brats were twisted one way and than the other, but we didn't let the casings dry first, that is probably the answer. Thank you for you replies!

The brats should hang or dry at least overnight and that will tighten up the skins.
