Casing Boiled Off

[cal516]

i was making venison brats the same way I have always done and went to test the batch. I boiled two of the brats as I have always done before putting on the grill but the casing essentially boiled off. The casings are a few years old and were fine around December. I soaked them in water over night. Anyone have this happen?

I have had them split and peel away, too high a heat, as in boiling when they should be simmered. Is this what you are describing?...JJ

They didn’t just split. The casing literally disappeared. That may have been it. I didn’t dial down the heat when it started to boil.
