As an avid home sausage maker, I recently tried the LEM Products Clear Smoked Collagen Casings, 21mm, and I am thoroughly impressed with their quality and performance. These edible sausage casings have proven to be a great addition to my sausage-making supplies. Performance and Quality The LEM collagen casings are clear and have a consistent 21mm diameter, which makes them perfect for making uniform sausages. They are strong yet flexible, allowing for easy stuffing without tearing or breaking. The smoked flavor adds a delicious, subtle hint to the sausages, enhancing the overall taste without overpowering the seasoning. Ease of Use One of the standout features of these casings is their ease of use. They come pre-tied and ready to use, which significantly reduces preparation time. The casings are also easy to handle and slide smoothly onto the stuffing tube. This makes the sausage-making process more efficient and enjoyable, especially for those who may be new to the craft. Edibility These casings are fully edible, which is a major plus. They maintain a pleasant texture after cooking, providing a satisfying bite without being too tough or chewy. The clear smoked collagen does not impart any off flavors, ensuring that the natural flavors of the meat and seasonings shine through. Versatility The 21mm size is versatile and suitable for a variety of sausages, from breakfast links to snack sticks. This versatility makes them a valuable addition to any home sausage maker's toolkit. Whether you're making traditional sausages or experimenting with new recipes, these casings can handle it all. Value for Money LEM Products' clear smoked collagen casings offer great value for money. The package stuffs approximately 25 pounds of sausage, which is a generous amount for the price. Considering the quality and performance of the casings, they are a cost-effective option for both beginners and experienced sausage makers.

Their strength, ease of use, and excellent flavor enhancement make them a standout product in the market. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in sausage making. Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) These casings have exceeded my expectations, providing a reliable and high-quality option for my sausage-making projects. They are easy to use, versatile, and offer great value, making them a staple in my kitchen.

Worked well soaked or dry

No prep is required to use these casings. No soaking needed. They filled without issue, however, they would not twist, so I tied the links with string. I pricked the casings and left them uncovered on a rack in the fridge overnight. In the morning, i cut the links apart. I vacuum sealed them and sous vie cooked them for 90 minutes at 155 (pork). Then I gently pan fried them on medium. Some of the casings started to come off after browning - but the sausages were already cooked and held together just fine. I will buy these again. They have a slight snap, and are not too chewy.

Great Product

Worked perfectly

Good product for making deer sausage

Not as good as the ones Walton’s sell. These won’t fit over a 1/2” horn, Walton’s will. They are tougher / stiffer material so you have to separate it and feed it on the horn a few feet at a time. They also are a harder bite thru when finished. Side by side they are an inferior casing. Walton’s charges more but you absolutely get what you pay for on these. I won’t use them again.

This is the only product my husband will let me buy for his sausage sticks. They're easy to use. The quality is great and great value for the money

great product

Never got to use it. But looks good and I think it would have been good but changed our minds.

Theses casings work great and are easy to use. The only issue is they split open while cooking. This is not a huge problem if you are not putting your sausages in a magazine for show. I will buy again I am sure.

I had no experience with collagen casings until now. Ordered package of 21mm casings and received package with 3 sticks. I received shipment very quickly. Everything was as expected. Stuffing them went with no problem. During the process they cracked couple of times but nothing out of ordinary and it's easy to fix. Post says that this is good for 40lb of meat. This i'm not so sure about. I had about 12 lb and used about one and a half sticks. I would say that it's good for 30-35 lb. After that I hanged them in the smoker. No problem there, no breakage. The only real complain i have is that when I tried to reorder them, price went from $16 to $65. I think i'm going to have to find another supplier otherwise I would stick with it.

Haven't used this product yet but I have before it will make sausage
