The Sausage Maker - North American Natural Hog Casings for Home Sausage Making, Make 25 lbs. of Standard Italian, Polish and Bratwurst at about ~1.5” Stuffed Diameter Links (1)

Very good product. Used these to make sticky mov nyu and hmong pork sausages

Good result as i expected

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.

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.

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.
