In relativity theory, Einstein introduced mass as a new type of energy to the mix. Beforehand, the mass of something in kilograms was just a measure of how much stuff was present and how resistant it was to being moved around.
Set the broiling pan in the oven once the broiler has warmed up. Make sure the sausage is positioned about seven to nine inches below the heat. Cook for 16 to 20 minutes total, turning the brat 90 degrees every four to five minutes so that it cooks evenly on both sides.
Some people recommend that you grill your brats first and then poach or simmer the brats afterwards. The cooking times here are about the same but the order is reversed; 5-10 minutes on the grill first then 20 minutes or more simmering.
