Can I cook a bratwurst in a toaster oven?

Yes, bratwursts can be cooked in the toaster oven. The best way is to use the broiler function on the toaster oven.

Preheat the broiler. Place the bratwursts on a broiler pan. This step is important to collect the grease that will drip from the bratwursts, which will reduce any potential flare ups in the toaster oven.

Put the bratwurst in the preheated toaster oven, but not too close to the heat source (lower level). Do not leave the bratwurst unattended, as they do have a tendency to flare up and will need immediate attention to avoid the flare up getting out of control.

Turn the links about every 4 minutes. The bratwurst is done once the internal temperature with a meat thermometer reaches 160F.
