Description
LEM's edible Natural Casings make juicier, tender sausage. They provide a distinctive "pop" when you bite into sausage stuffed in natural casings. These casings should be rinsed in warm water several times, then soaked in water for one hour until soft and pliable. Always refrigerate your natural casings after the bag has been opened. For proper storage, cover casings with salt, place them in an airtight container, and refrigerate them. Properly salted and refrigerated casings should last a year.
The 8 oz. pack of Natural Sheep Casings, contain what the industry calls "shorts". These vary in length and diameter. The quality of the casings are identical to the hanks, they are just shorter pieces. One pack will stuff approximately 15 - 30 lbs, which makes them ideal for the home sausage maker or hobbyist.
Approximate Stuffed Weight:
- Sheep Casings 5 oz. (19 - 21mm): 15 lbs.
- Sheep Casings 8 oz. (24 - 26mm): 20 lbs.
- Sheep Casings Hank (19 - 21mm): 45 - 50 lbs.
Natural casings cannot be shipped to Canada.
