Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
What are brats?
“Brats” is the short name for bratwurst, a traditional German fresh sausage made with coarse-ground pork and aromatic spices. Unlike hot dogs which are pre-cooked, authentic bratwurst is sold fresh and must be cooked before eating. Abraham’s bratwurst follows traditional German recipes for authentic flavor and texture.
What's the difference between bratwurst and hot dogs?
Bratwurst is fresh sausage with coarse-ground pork and traditional German spices, while hot dogs are pre-cooked, finely ground, and often contain fillers. Bratwurst has authentic meaty texture; hot dogs have smoother consistency.
What's the difference between bratwurst and Italian sausage?
Bratwurst uses German spices (marjoram, white pepper, sometimes caraway) while Italian sausage features fennel seeds and Italian herbs. Bratwurst is typically milder with coarser grind.
Can you freeze bratwurst?
Absolutely! Freeze immediately in original packaging or vacuum-sealed for up to 6months. Thaw in refrigerator overnight before cooking. Consume within 3 days once thawed. Since it’s fresh sausage, proper freezing doesn’t affect quality.
Pro tip: Portion before freezing so you can thaw only what you need.
Do you cook bratwurst before or after freezing?
Freeze raw (uncooked). Cook after thawing for freshest flavor and best texture.
