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.

The package arrived a soggy saline mess. Looks like the package got a hole in it on the last leg of shipping. I was able to salvage some of the casingings and get back into brine. Good casings from what I could use and had to use them earlier than expected. I wish the packaging was better.

This was my first ever experience making link sausage but overall it was fun and a good learning experience. The pretubed casings were a good choice although I did overstuff some. Can’t wait to make the next batch. All good here!

The product quality is exactly what I expected, good. However, I ordered both #1&2 Cure with 6x boxes of Casings the package arrived damaged and Cure was everywhere with no visible hole or crack in the container. Several boxes of the Casings were crushed and visible liquid present in the larger box. Box was destroyed but there was zero packing material to separate internal items.

Once we got the casing onto the tube it worked great. But a paper describing how to do that might have been helpful. We weren’t sure what to do with the various plastic pieces that were preloaded into the casing.

I had a problem with a casing order, and I wrote to the SausageMaker on their website. They immediately contacted me and resolved my situation. If service after the sale is the bar for grades, then you get an “A+”.
Thanks,
Chuck
