I do exactly what suziq does and wow they end up great.
Must be a MA thingJust my two cents....I like it when they split. Sometimes I cut them so they will. I know...bad girl.
Let me ask a question. Why does it matter if they burst? I have sausages burst on me all the time. They are never dry and always taste great. Personally, I have no issue if they pop open. I kind of like it actually.
It's a Middlesex county thing thenNot entirely.
I have to completely disagree with just about everything here. I am not saying you are wrong for you, but these have not been my experiences at all. One that has split fits just as well in the bun for me as a non split one. Actually I think it works even better. If you put the split on top then you have a more level playing field to place any toppings you want without them rolling off onto the sides.For one thing they don't fit in the bun as well. You also don't get that first juicy bite with hot juice burning your chin. And if splitting or holes in the casing were OK, then they wouldn't tell you to only use tongs, not a fork to pick them up and position.

does anyone know a way to prevent my Bratwurst sausages from splitting along the length and then flipping themselves inside-out?
