My first time making Italian sausage ad results were perfect. The casings were a little tricky at firs, but after I got the hang of it I felt like a pro.

This is the second purchase of this product. I have used these casings for packing brats and Italian sausage. They came out great. The response time from order to receiving the product is very good, and I have a confidence in dealing with The Sausage Maker group. Five stars so far.

Good casings. Strong and sturdy, but yet light enough to case pepperoni, etc.
