LEM Products Pre-Tubed Natural Hog Casings, 32–35mm Edible Sausage Casings for Sausage Links, Hot Dogs, Pepperoni, Salami, Homemade Sausages, Stuffs Approx. 50 lbs, 9.6 oz Package

Works pretty well once I got them moving. Made sure to soak them for a good bit of time so they were easy to work with. I did not have too many breakages in the casings were easy to tie off. When I first open them the odor was kind of off-putting but after a soak it went away almost completely. Worked well for venison sausage.

Absolutely the very best pre-tubed casings you can buy. I make A LOT of sausage, and I make 50-100 lb at a time with professional grade equipment. These pre-tubed casings arrive packed in salt and HARD PACK vaccumsealed, meaning they suck the air out until the package is as hard as a brick. This to me was a indicator of quality, as that much care going into the packaging usually begets a quality product. My suspicions were confirmed when I opened the package and did not detect one bit of the foul odor that tends to permeate natural casings, indicating that they had been VERY thoroughly washed and sanitized prior to packing. Upon rinising, then soaking the casings for an hour in tepid water, I loaded the first casing onto my stuffer tube. I was SHOCKED at not only how easily the casing slid onto the tube, but also at how LONG these casings are. Each casing held approximately 10 lb of meat, there were 5 casings in the bag. At first I was concerned at the fact there was so few casings, as most natural casings I buy are cut MUCH shorter. I stuffed 65 lb of sausage that day, and 53 of which fit into the casings provided in one package. Not once did i find a hole in a casing, not ONCE did a casing burst or tear when i did not intend it to, and not once did i have issues loading them onto the tube. The absolute pinnacle of quality casings in my opinion, they held up perfectly to smoking, grilling, and poaching, and had a wonderful snap, without being too thick and chewy. I will be using these casings exclusively moving forward. Absolute quality.

Best casings I've ever used. The pre-tubing cut some time off the process, but the casings were uniform. No blow outs. Easy on. Easy off. the tube. After 30 years of making sausage, I was very impressed

Beware, this is a lot of casing. Casing is good quality, fresh and strong. Not sure the sleeve only keeps casing straigh and protected. I am new to homemade sausage and these casing are pretty large. I will waste about 3/4 of the package as I only had about 15 lbs of sausage to do. I like the product. Just know this is about 1" in diameter and each of the 4 casings will do approx 18-20 lbs of meat. I will buy the smaller diameter as this size is hard to cook all the way through.

Works great

Quality casings. Wish bulk packs were available.

We made several types of sausage (Italian, chorizo and brats). These are exceptional casings. Highly recommended. Great taste and light snap just like the butcher shop. Easy to use. And most important a very long continuous length of casing that is easily enough for 15-17lbs of sausage meat. You get three tubes in a package which will do 45-50lbs as advertised. These casings worked perfect and the preloaded straw makes them very easy to place on the stuffing horn. No holes. No knots. If you need less just cut at the length you need when done stuffing. Put the remainder back on the straw. Salt and store in the refrigerator. One caveat. You need at least a 5.5” stuffing horn for the full length casing to fit on the stuffer - so be aware of that. These casings are a few dollars more than non pre-loaded casings but in our opinion, were worth the money as you save so much time loading the casings and don’t end up ripping a casing loading it on the stuffer. We also bought some overseas casings and did not like them at all. They were very short (3’) and you had to spend a lot of time cleaning them and they were hard to load. Our recommendation are clearly these as the best.

While these casing are easy to use. Without all the blowouts from twisted casing. The only issue I have is that it says there’s enough to stuff up to 50 pounds of meat. That’s never going to happen. I barely was able to stuff 20 pounds of sausage. I’ve been making sausage for 25 years and I’ve used pre-tubed casing before. When I buy casing to stuff 50 pounds of meat I get two 20-25 pound batches of sausage from them. Not this time. Maybe LEM mislabeled these?
