Description
Our Pretubed Natural Hog Casings 29-32mm are the easiest and fastest way to stuff sausage. Packed in salt, the plastic sleeves easily slide on the stuffing tubes. After soaking them with the plastic still on, simply slide one end over your stuffing tube and pull the plastic off the other end.
The casings are sourced from North American hogs only.
What Are Pretubed Casings
Pretubed casings come already strung on individual plastic sleeves. Since the casings are already individually separated, they are a lot easier to slide onto the stuffing tube.
One pound of meat will use about 2.5 feet of casing. The casings are packed in purified salt and have an indefinite shelf life when stored in the refrigerator. Flush and soak in tap water before using.

Never have been disappointed with the hog casings. Always very clean and no holes. Great quality.

I am a novice sausage maker/hobbyist. I was reviewing all sorts of videos and I saw even the pro’s struggle with untangling casings. This was the way to go. I would have liked more information about how to prep them before use though. Wash off salt or don’t wash off salt, soak them for 15 minutes an hour a day or what? The video from this company online was only 41 seconds with no audio.

I like the diameter, probably the smallest natural casing out there without splurging on sheep casing. I haven’t used pretubed before, and they worked fine. They loaded faster than normal natural casing, and any blowouts I had were my fault. The instructions said to not rinse them so I didn’t, but they did have large salt crystals on them to help preserve them I guess. After making sausage all weekend, I had washed my hands about 100 times, and my skin was dry. The salt irritated my dry hands something awful. I recommend using gloves.
I don’t think the pretubed is much if any better than the regular casing, just slightly quicker to load on the tube. I’ll buy whichever is cheaper.
