As an avid home sausage maker, I recently tried the LEM Products Clear Smoked Collagen Casings, 21mm, and I am thoroughly impressed with their quality and performance. These edible sausage casings have proven to be a great addition to my sausage-making supplies. Performance and Quality The LEM collagen casings are clear and have a consistent 21mm diameter, which makes them perfect for making uniform sausages. They are strong yet flexible, allowing for easy stuffing without tearing or breaking. The smoked flavor adds a delicious, subtle hint to the sausages, enhancing the overall taste without overpowering the seasoning. Ease of Use One of the standout features of these casings is their ease of use. They come pre-tied and ready to use, which significantly reduces preparation time. The casings are also easy to handle and slide smoothly onto the stuffing tube. This makes the sausage-making process more efficient and enjoyable, especially for those who may be new to the craft. Edibility These casings are fully edible, which is a major plus. They maintain a pleasant texture after cooking, providing a satisfying bite without being too tough or chewy. The clear smoked collagen does not impart any off flavors, ensuring that the natural flavors of the meat and seasonings shine through.

This versatility makes them a valuable addition to any home sausage maker's toolkit. Whether you're making traditional sausages or experimenting with new recipes, these casings can handle it all. Value for Money LEM Products' clear smoked collagen casings offer great value for money. The package stuffs approximately 25 pounds of sausage, which is a generous amount for the price. Considering the quality and performance of the casings, they are a cost-effective option for both beginners and experienced sausage makers.

Their strength, ease of use, and excellent flavor enhancement make them a standout product in the market. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in sausage making. Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) These casings have exceeded my expectations, providing a reliable and high-quality option for my sausage-making projects. They are easy to use, versatile, and offer great value, making them a staple in my kitchen.

Nice casing. Easy to use for a first timer. I had 2kg of meats and used less than one “tube”. I used kitchen aid grinder with standard plastic horn that comes with it. Only had one little blowout at very beginning before I realized best way to stuff the meat. I cooked it in an oven, it was the hardest part of process but at the end I was happy with the result. Casing tasted nice, not thick or chewy like some people said. I watched a lot of videos before….and during this process, happy I tried it. Definitely would do it again.

I purchased these prior and probably will again. These are plant based cellulose. Does not add any flavor to meat. Initially packs okay, no presoaking required. Good snap after smoking. Will split out during packing but very uniform sizes. dose shrink down with meat, but will loosen over time and becomes tough as it continues to absorb moisture in a few days. Have tried dehydration it helps but causes degraded meat texture. Vacuum packed for storage, moisture re-absorption from meat still a problem caused the casings to loosen and become undesirable to chew, no snap. Recommend as I haven't found any better replacement, do not know who actually makes these I suspect LEM isn't manufacturer. They do have an incredible line of meat processing equipment.

Great product, works well and easy to use. Consistent results every time.

These were easy to use for our venison snack sticks with no odor. Perfect size and got them on discount to great value too! Seem to be very durable - only had a few parts break open but likely due to too high pressure during stuffing.

I’ve purchased these twice for homemade venison hunter sticks. These casings allow the perfect amount of smoke into meat, and maintain a great “snap” when eating the sticks. Will continue to buy

These stuff up easily and are very strong, so you don’t need finess to prevent blowouts but the issue here is you can overstuff and could potentially lead to blowouts when they expand from cooking. I haven’t had any issues with natural casings in that regard, once you have them stuffed properly they don’t often rupture upon proper cooking. These were deceptive, you need to be careful because they don’t seem to have give when cooking. This could have just been a combination of factors but it seems that these are a more rigid type, not elastic, but my first batch looked beautiful but ruptured quickly on the hot grill and the casing just shriveled up. They are more durable than other collagen casings but I have seen those types which are too fragile to work with and sometimes they are even a pain to cook. These casings are a bit different. I’d suggest only stuffing to where there is give in the sausage, don’t try to push the limits for a fully filled out stuff. I’d say it should yield to a slight finger pressure. This is kind of how you want them in general to be on the safe side but I have done enough to know how far I can push it. These are a different thing altogether. I won’t buy these again and I’m not sure I’d use them again from what I have. They have a weird appearance and texture that made me second (and triple) guess if they were truly edible. (You know like play doh is non toxic and considered “edible” but you don’t want to shove it in your mouth? Yeah like that). They remind me of paper casings more than other types.

Good quality

great product

Never got to use it. But looks good and I think it would have been good but changed our minds.

Theses casings work great and are easy to use. The only issue is they split open while cooking. This is not a huge problem if you are not putting your sausages in a magazine for show. I will buy again I am sure.

I had no experience with collagen casings until now. Ordered package of 21mm casings and received package with 3 sticks. I received shipment very quickly. Everything was as expected. Stuffing them went with no problem. During the process they cracked couple of times but nothing out of ordinary and it's easy to fix. Post says that this is good for 40lb of meat. This i'm not so sure about. I had about 12 lb and used about one and a half sticks. I would say that it's good for 30-35 lb. After that I hanged them in the smoker. No problem there, no breakage. The only real complain i have is that when I tried to reorder them, price went from $16 to $65. I think i'm going to have to find another supplier otherwise I would stick with it.

Haven't used this product yet but I have before it will make sausage
