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)

Good result as i expected

I make a lot of venison sausage every year. I have used this product over the last few years and I am very satisfied with this product. They are of good length and I have very few issues with holes. The work well with my stuffer. Keep them salted and they will last a long. Thickness is just right.

The Sausage Maker sells high quality products at a very reasonable price. When ordering casings make sure you buy a grade A, or AA casing, because ungraded casing will frustrate you. Also if trying to learn how to make sausages go to YouTube and check out 2 guys and a cooler.

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.

It does its job but it is more delicate than I thought.
