Natural Hog Sausage Casings 32-38mm, Edible Casing For Sausage Making, Stuff Over 25 Lbs Meat, Breakfast, Italian, Polish, Bratwurst, Hot Dog, Pork Links, 1.2-1.5" Dia, Home Pack-2

Good casings. Takes a sec to get them untangled but obce that part is done, I find tyem really good quality. Most are nice and uniform and of decent length. No quality issues.

Good quality

Not as good, inconsistant in sizes, texture and colors, some are too tight and burst easy, some to loose, texture and colors are also mixed up, it can be well seen when they are hydrated.

These casings worked perfectly for my sausage making venture. After opening, I soaked in water for about an hour, while grinding and seasoning the pork. I then added a bit of fresh water to the inside of the casing to rinse the out both inside and outside. These had zero smell to them and were able to slide onto my sausage horn just fine. The one package allowed me to stuff the 23 pounds of sausage I made. I they held up nicely as I twisted the ropes into links. I will say I had a few short pieces in the package vs. all a consistent length. This only caused me to have to rinse more pieces and stop a few extra times to allow me to put them onto the grinder. I do recommend.

What I didn't know, which was everything.... If you've ever had natural casing sausage and the casing was tough to bite through,, that isn't this. This bites through like a hot dog, name brand Italian Sausage link or high end butchers sausage links. A very tender casing. Casings are all salted and salt cured. You soak them. Rinse them. Soak a bit more. My first one, I fought and ripped and wondered if it was worth the effort. My second, I learned speed and control. I was very pleased with the results. By #3, it was so easy.

Casting kept blowing out. I have used a lot of casings and these are my least favorite.

Update: I’ve updated this review because the quality was quite inconsistent. Some of the links were very good and in others the casings were tough and extremely noticeable. I’ve since switched to sheep casings. These casings had no detectable smell, were well salted and well packed so it was easy to separate the strands (not always the case). After rinsing the salt off, the ends were a little fiddly to open for rinsing inside, but this is always the same. Once prepared they were very easy to work with, sliding onto the stuffer tube cleanly, with no rips. The sausages stuffed well and full as you can see in the photo and so far none have burst during cooking. As is always the case, ‘the proof of the pudding is in the eating’. I’ve used casings before that were quite tough creating an unpleasant texture during eating. These held the sausages together well during grilling, but were otherwise unobtrusive during eating. They produced some of the tastiest sausages I’ve had for a very long time and I’ll certainly buy them again.

My wife and I have ordered from this seller before. If you cannot purchase casings locally, this is a good choice.

Good result as i expected
