Mealtime Magic: CanCooker Apple Beer Brats

CanCooker takes all the guesswork out of your pre-game meal, no matter how many guests are coming over. Preparing meals for large groups no longer means slaving for hours over a hot grill. With the CanCooker, the master chef can participate in all the pre-game fun, while maintaining the status of “hero of the grill.” Simply add 12 ounces of your favorite beer or other seasoning liquid recipe on top of your favorite ingredients inside the CanCooker—from surf to turf, layered with your favorite vegetables. Then lock down the top, and cook it over any heat source that will boil water. Within 15 minutes, you’ll see steam, and about 45 minutes after that, your hero status will be confirmed as you dole out the deliciousness of your “hard work” at the grill.

Instead of grilling or boiling of conventional cooking methods, the CanCooker efficiently converts the liquid in the bottom of the container into steam that circulates within its shouldered design to create natural convection circulation for faster, even cooking. And the CanCooker does it without boiling away the nutrients or combining flavors. The results are tender, healthy and delicious.
