If you want to order just the right amount of casing for a batch, this is the way to go. Just soak and rinse. Most of the casings are about 3 feet long. A couple were maybe 5. Worked great.

First time making sausage with a casing I purchased online and not at a local butcher. Excellent quality, so clean (the butcher ones are usually so pungent!) that it made my cleaning of them so much easier! My sausages are curing as I write this, can’t wait till they’re ready!

Had a lot of trouble with tearing the first few feet. Not anybody’s fault except the hog. Rest of the bag worked out just fine.

Stuffed 10lb with a handful left over. They also had the proper texture giving my sausages the âpopâ I was hoping for.
