The Sausage Maker Inc. Fresh Collagen Casings, 22mm. A popular size for making breakfast sausages. Edible; tender and delicate, yet durable enough to withstand your pan's sizzle. Can be used as a replacement for natural casings (though they will not have the same characteristics) and should be cooked shortly after stuffing. This casing is used for fresh sausage only, because they are thin and tender and virtually adhere to the meat after they are stuffed. Translucent. Comes with 6 half strands per package. Stuffing capacity per package approximately 30 lbs. (148 feet) Contains collagen casings that are edible. Fresh collagen casings are a natural product made from a refined layer of cattle hide. Because of this, collagen casings are much more uniform in size, when compared to traditional natural casings. Easy to use, and do not require soaking; simply unravel and load onto stuffing horn. When twisting into links, make first twist in one direction and then next twist in opposite direction to prevent unraveling, being careful to not over twist links (maximum two full twists). Keep sealed and under refrigeration when not in use. If casings become brittle, soak briefly prior to use.
