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 product.

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.

I make around 80~120 lbs. of sausage every winter. This sausage casing works really well with my sausage stuffer.

I've used these in the past with no issues. I ordered a double pack this time and the first pack was as expected. Well salted, no odor, easy to clean and use. The second pack was PUTRID. It smelled horrible. The casings are tied together to keep them from tangling and I believe the tie was too tight as there was no salt on some of the strands within the tie. Since everything looked good we still tried to soak. Soaked them for hours. Eventually, the smell seemed to be gone. We stuffed and smoked the sausages. Pulled them off the smoker, took a bite and nearly gagged. The entire batch smelled/tasted like rotten meat. We immediately pulled the casings off, and the meat seems okay. Only time will tell. I have no idea how old the casings were either since there's no best buy date on the package. I'm honestly scared to buy again.

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.

Good Quality, Easy to Use!!!

Good result as i expected
