Simply put the casings back into the refrigerator and the odor will subside. Natural casings should never be frozen. It affects their integrity after thawing and will cause more blowouts.

Casings came in exactly as ordered. Packaged-sealed just as expected. The color was exact spot on. After trying a number of different places, I should have purchased here first!

When I received the 35 x 38 mm hog casing the package had a pin size leak in it. Put them in a baggy. Is that a salt water solution?

I was about to order from a competitor because they were offering free shipping and 15% off. When I went to check out, the discounts went away. When I contacted the company, I was told the discounts ended just minutes before and basically told tuff luck bum. I went back to the sausagemaker and I noticed they were showing similar discounts I hadn’t noticed before, but that they had just expired. I placed an order and the sausagemaker honored the discounts. I will never shop for sausage making supplies anywhere else again. This is only my second order, but I will be making many more. Thanks sausagemaker. A very happy customer.

I reordered the casing that I use every year, since the company ââ¬ÅSausage maker has the best casing and other items items I use, I would recommend the Sausage maker to all my friends.
