This casing is very good quality, and was perfect for making longanisa (Filipino sausage). Shipping and price a bit high but you get what you pay for.

Package arrived in a sturdy box. I discovered that the bag itself could be re-sealed with my home vacuum sealer, which is a nice plus as it means I don’t have to make a ton of sausage all at once. Product itself worked perfectly. Now I can focus on perfecting my sausage recipe.

The casings are great, very clean and easy to use.
The two rings holding the casings worked great to keep them from tangling up.
First time ordering this, so the size is not as big as expected. But, that’s the beginner’s mistake and is on me.

The casings from the Sausage Maker have way fewer blowouts than the ones from the local ‘carry some of everything store’ and tend to be way longer.
