Casing were good. Did have a couple “blow outs” but I don’t believe it was due to bad casing. Stuck on tube.

Fantastic product, easy to use. The various lengths of the casing made for easy control of the sausage making.

Small quanitities of casings for the periodic home sausage maker can be hard to find locally as many butchers don’t want to mess with small quantities or even take from their stocks. This Home Pak fits the bill since I only make about 20 lbs. of Swedish sausage per year.
