The 32-35mm casings are the perfect diameter for general sausage making. Great size for so many end use dishes, grilled, casseroles or baked into your favorite pasta. Don’t be concerned about the new “box” packaging, it’s still the same high quality casing. The box takes up less room in storage, and recycles with the rest of your paper.

great product, nice crisp snap when cooked, Takes a bit of time to load on stuffer, I can see why they sell pre-loaded. I would purchase again.

This is my second time ordering casings and always had good results, very few breaks when stuffing. They lasted several years in refrigerator until I used up completely. Adding salt and water was all that was needed.

The hog casings are terrific as always. They are easy to work with and rarely do they tear or break when making sausage. The last batch we did was 50 lbs and not a single break. And that tends to be teh normal result.

Iâve found that if I rinse the casings then put them into a six gallon pail cool water for a couple hours then rinse them again as I need them removing more of the salt , theyâll be more tender after cooking and smoking! But the quality of the casings are 9 out of ten for quality!

We have only used 1 time. The only thought is that it was inconsistent with the diameter. Other than that, very pleased so far.

My parents would make sausage back in the 70’s and 80’s, and when they did they used the casings from your company. Luckily, when I asked my mother who she used, she still had an old seasoning can from you, so I searched for your company online and found it. Now, I can make the same Italian sausage they did, recipe and casings.
The casings are great! They did not break at all when I was stuffing them, and I didn’t feel like I had to be too gentle with them. They came very quickly to my house. Now that I have found your company, you’ll be my only source of sausage casings, or anything else I see I need.

Robert Makuch (verified owner) –
As always, the casings are of premium quality. My only objection is with the packaging. They used to come in a plastic pail and now come in a box, which is of no use to store in the fridge. And the plastic bag the casings are in would be better as a zip-loc bag for easy resealing.

Just what I needed, excellent casings, all uniformed sizing and nice and long, only two blow outs and that was user mistakes

I’ve never made my own sausage before but these casings made it so much easier. They were very easy to pull apart. After soaking them and washing them off we had no problems with tears or rips. So much better than the artificial casings. Our sausage also tasted amazing! Definitely going to keep using this brand and supplier!
Howard L Garris Sr (verified owner) –
These casings are the best i’ve had in a long time. I had no problems stuffing them and their were no holes in them.

Iâve been using the hog casings from The Sausage Maker for a while now. There was a glitch with the shipper on the last order. Customer service handled the issue and got the product to me quickly.
Nicholas Magda (verified owner) –
I have never been disappointed with the quality of this product. The size is completely consistent from casing to casing and the amount of very long casing allows stuffing to go more quickly. Again in this lot of casings, I found no holes or casings that leaked during stuffing.
Peter J. Camarda (verified owner) –
Fantastic product. We made 34 pounds of sausage tonight. Kept up an Easter tradition from Uncles who have passed away. Used Pino Grigio instead of water. Fantastic result. We are giving away most of it to friends and families.

I’ve used these type casings for years and they work very well for brats, Italian sausage, small ring bologna and linked summer sausage.
Somehow UPS lost the first package that was sent to me. I called the Sausagemaker and talked to John, who was very helpful and arranged to send a replacement which arrived quickly. Thanks for the excellent customer support!

I have ordered these many times over the past 10 years or so and am always pleased with the quality. I was even more pleased that they came in a sturdy cardboard box rather than a plastic bucket. We need to cut down on our use of plastic!
