- How to choose sausage casings?
- Types of casings:
Fibrous casing
Natural enteric coating
Cellulose casings
Collagen enteric coating
Natural sausage casings are made from pork or lamb intestines that have been cleaned, salted, and brined. They are used for European-style sausages, such as bratwurst. Most brands in grocery stores use artificial casings.
- How to use a sausage stuffer?
- Material to prepare:
Fatty ground meat: pork, beef, turkey, chicken, venison, or other meat.
Seasoning: cumin, smoked paprika, vinegar, minced garlic, black pepper, and sugar.
- A step-by-step guide:
1. Add 5 pounds of meat inside a bowl.
2. Add the seasoning to the meat. Add two tablespoons of salt to every 1 pound of meat.
3. Stir the spices and meat to mix well.
4. Put the ground meat into the stuffer.
5. Take your casings and put them through the nozzle.
6. Fill the casings.
7. Rotate the sausage as it comes out of the sausage stuffer.
8. Please leave a little excess casings and tear them off. Tie a knot at the end.
9. Grab the rotating sausage with both hands and squeeze from the end.
10. Turn each link in the opposite direction and rotate it a few times while pinching very tightly.
- Tips
Soak the sausage casing in warm water for at least 1 hour before you thread it onto the stuffing tube. Change the water several times to maintain its temperature.
If you want to prepare the links, do not overstuff the sausage casings to leave room for knots.
Test your seasoning. This helps prevent ruining your entire batch of sausage.
2. After the parts are soaked, remove any remaining meat, fat, or residue. You should thoroughly clean the inside of the main body.
3. To clean the filler tube, use a bottle brush or other tool.
4. Dry all parts with a clean rag. Do not let it air dry.
5. Parts are not dishwasher safe; using a dishwasher can damage the parts.
6. Spray all parts with food-grade silicone after the unit has dried to prevent oxidation.

2. Slice or mince the selected meat and grind it with the provided meat grinder.
- The grinding process:
For fine sausages, use a plate with smaller holes.
For coarse sausages, use a dish with larger holes.
3. Soak the sausage casing in cold water and let it sit in the bowl for 30 minutes.
4. Change the water after 30 minutes, then soak the casing for another 30 minutes.
5. Measure your seasoning.
The recipe mostly determines this.
6. Mix the measured seasonings.
Make sure you professionally mix the ingredients. This will add to the final flavor of your sausage.
7. Cook small seasoned sausages.
Before you stuff your sausage, cook a little of the seasoned sausage to test if you are happy with the flavor.
8. Stuff your sausage with casings.
Now that you have adjusted the flavors to your desires, you can begin stuffing your sausage into the casings with the sausage stuffer.
Use a paper towel soaked in vegetable oil and coat the stuffing tube with the oil during the stuffing process.
9. Your sausage is ready.
After the entire process described above, your sausage is now ready to be smoked.
