Lunch during the work week doesn't always have to be confined to frozen meals, reheated leftovers or eating out. The office break room can become a pretty decent kitchen if you just modify some recipes just a little bit. In this post, we will be having brats. There was a lone survivor leftover from the weekend and I decided to bring that in for lunch the following Monday. Not a dried out precooked brat to be heated up mind you. I cooked it at work with the handy dandy microwave.
I'm cheating a little on this post because there were already microwave instructions on the back of the packaging. As per the instructions, I placed the brat in a container and filled it with hot water, loosely cover, 1 min and 45 secs, flip and repeat. DO NOT try to nuke your brat without water. Best case scenario, you'll be munching on dried out brat jerky. Worst case scenario, you'll spend the rest of the day scraping off dried out pieces of brat that exploded all over the microwave.
After cooking in the microwave, place the brat link next to the bun in the toaster oven if you have one in your office kitchen. The surface of the link should sizzle up nicely as the bun toasts up. Almost like it's fresh off the grill :o) Remember, NEVER leave the toaster oven unattended while in use. Nothing like subjecting the rest of your office to the smells of your burnt lunch experiments for the rest of the workday...
