Product Description
The Sausage Maker Natural Sheep Casings are designed for home sausage enthusiasts looking to create high-quality, flavorful sausages. Ideal for a variety of recipes, these casings deliver the perfect texture and taste for your culinary creations.
Crafted from premium sheep sourced from New Zealand and Australia, these natural casings are both durable and elastic. They allow for excellent smoke penetration, enhancing the flavor of your sausages while providing the distinct “snap” that is characteristic of well-made sausage links. With a diameter of 22-24 mm, these casings are suitable for making snack sticks, breakfast links, cocktail franks, and more. The casings are available in manageable lengths (approximately 60 yards total), making them perfect for home use without excessive waste.
All casings undergo a thorough cleaning process, ensuring they are de-whiskered and not bleached. This results in an “A-Grade” classification, indicating minimal holes and increased strength for stuffing fine grinds with reduced bursting risk. The casings come packed in purified salt, providing an indefinite shelf life when stored properly in the refrigerator. It is important to note that these casings should not be frozen, as freezing can lead to weakening and potential tearing during use.
Key Features:- Diameter of 22-24 mm; sausages will measure approximately 7/8” - 1” when stuffed.
