Sheep Casings

fished · Dec 31, 2014

My first attempt with sheep casings was a flop. I have since seen pre-tubed sheep casings. I have only used natural casings once before and they were hog casings. I would like to make some breakfast sausage links. Have anyone here used the pre-tubed casing and can give some advice on how those work? Also is the prep and soaking the same as the regular casings?

Thanks

Sorry to hear that Ed

With Quality casings and proper handling Sheep's are easy to use. I would stay away from the ones packed in pure salt unless you soak and wash for long periods of time, (Weeks) even

These sheep's are high quality and come in a salt solution. They need to be washed and soaked but do become pliable and silky smooth. They are a bit pricey but well worth it. Your going to pay through the nose for tubed sheep's.....

Thanks very much for the reply. I have looked at them from there before. I tried the salt packed casings before. They were a pain, but I may not have soaked them long enough. Your hot dogs look great. When I get some time I'll look at ordering the preflushed casings. I still want to make some breakfast saugage links, and some hot dogs would be goot too.

Thanks
