Pretubed Natural Sheep Casings 22-24mm

Description

Natural, Pre-Tubed Sheep Casings, 22-24mm, are an edible, natural casing. These sheep casings are ideal for breakfast sausage and small snack sticks. Sheep casings also come in 22-24mm sizes.

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.

Tender
Sheep casings are the softest and most tender among all the other types of natural casings. Their elasticity makes them quite malleable to expansion without splitting. 

Edible
Sheep casings are all-natural, and so they do not need to be removed after cooking. They also have a natural taste and smell that does not interfere with the ingredients of your sausages.

Preparing Natural Casings – Do not remove plastic

1. Remove the approximate amount you will need.
2. Place casings in a clean, food-safe bowl.
3. Rinse the casings of salt under cool running water.
4. Flush the insides of the casings to facilitate smooth casing application.
5. For small casings (smaller than 42mm), place the bowl in cool water to soak for about 2 hours in the refrigerator before use.
6. For larger casings (greater than 42mm), place the bowl of beef bung, middles, and/or rounds in the refrigerator to soak overnight before use.
7. Optional for smell control – add ½ tsp baking soda per cup of water.
8. Optional for tenderizing – squeeze a lemon or add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the soaking water to refresh casings.

Refrigeration
The natural casings should be kept refrigerated until ready for use. Unrefrigerated, these salted casings may give off a strong odor. This is Normal.  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.
