Description
Pretubed Natural Hog Casings 35-38mm are the easiest and fastest way to stuff sausage with natural casings. Conveniently 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. 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.

Refrigeration
The natural casings should be kept refrigerated until ready for use. Un-refrigerated, these salted casings may give off a strong odor. This is Normal. Simply put the casings back into the refrigerator and the odor will subside. Natural casings should never be frozen. It affects their integrity after thawing and will cause more blowouts.

This is the second year that I used these casings. The first year went well. Product was delivered timely. I soaked them overnight and the next day the casings slid smoothly on the tube and stuffed well. This year did not go well. The product was delivered late. After numerous calls and tracking the product was delivered 2 weeks after notification that the order was processed. Once again I soaked overnight but this time the product did not hydrate well and the casing did not slide onto the tube without constantly flushing water through the tube while slide the casing onto the stuffing tube. My guess is that the product must have sat out of refrigeration for the 2 weeks in transit, but is was not a good experience. I am rating the product a 3… a 5 for last year and a 2 for this year.

I may have been using too small of a casing in the past because I always had issues with blowouts and tearing. Linking was next to impossible.
Not with these though- these were absolutely great. Only one blowout and flawless links!! I also noticed these are incredibly clean casings. I always rinse my casings until the water is clear, these are clear rinsing in the first wash.

Wasnât to crazy about the pretubed casings as we are supposed to soak and rinse on inside which was difficult to do with the plastic.
