NATURAL SAUSAGE CASING

  
 
 
 

These 32-35mm hog casing are excellent for making fresh or smoked sausages such as Bratwurst, Polish, Italian, and Chorizo or Cajun. The salt pack or MEDIUM DUTY Pack is recommended for MEDIUM DUTY users because it is easier to store and will do 25 lbs. of meat. When placing the casing on the stuffing horn, it should fit loosely. If you have difficulty placing the casing on the horn, the nozzle may be too large. A 3/4" nozzle is used for a 30-36mm casing. If you do not use all the casing, it should be re-salted with non-iodized salt and stored in the refrigerator in a sealed packet. Don't overdo the salting our it could toughen the casing. Use as much salt as was originally on the casing.

Natural Casing Preperation:

Salted Casing: Rinse salt from casing with fresh water. Soak overnight in cool water. At stuffing table place casings into fresh warm water. Run tap water through the casing before you put them on the stuffing horn.

 
     
  FIBROUS CASING  
 
 
  These fibrous casings are synthetic casings and are used for cured and dry cured sausages. The fibers of the casing shrink with the meat and form the meat while it is being smoked or cooked. Fibrous casings are used for Bologna, Salami, and Summer Sausage. They are tied at one end. The other end must be tied off or hog ring stapled to close it.

Fibrous Casing Preparation:
Soak 30 minutes in 80 to 100 degree F. water before using. Soaking allows the casing to become flexible and easier to work.
