I have ordered these many times over the past 10 years or so and am always pleased with the quality. I was even more pleased that they came in a sturdy cardboard box rather than a plastic bucket. We need to cut down on our use of plastic!

I’ve used these type casings for years and they work very well for brats, Italian sausage, small ring bologna and linked summer sausage.
Somehow UPS lost the first package that was sent to me. I called the Sausagemaker and talked to John, who was very helpful and arranged to send a replacement which arrived quickly. Thanks for the excellent customer support!

Fantastic product. We made 34 pounds of sausage tonight. Kept up an Easter tradition from Uncles who have passed away. Used Pino Grigio instead of water. Fantastic result. We are giving away most of it to friends and families.

I have never been disappointed with the quality of this product. The size is completely consistent from casing to casing and the amount of very long casing allows stuffing to go more quickly. Again in this lot of casings, I found no holes or casings that leaked during stuffing.

Iâve been using the hog casings from The Sausage Maker for a while now. There was a glitch with the shipper on the last order. Customer service handled the issue and got the product to me quickly.
