To cook, place the bratwurst in a skillet over medium heat with a little oil, turning occasionally until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, grill over medium heat, turning frequently, until nicely charred and heated through. For baking, place on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for safety.
