Quick Tips

Precooked Sauerkraut

• Precooked sauerkraut is available in jars and cans on supermarket shelves. Fresh sauerkraut is sold in delicatessens and in a supermarket's refrigerated section. Fresh sauerkraut generally has a milder flavor than its canned counterpart. To reduce the naturally briny flavor of sauerkraut, put it in a sieve and rinse well under cold, running water. Drain well before using.
