Casing Sizes

[bobrap]

OK, the dumb question of the year. lol When fibrous casings are listed as 3.23x12", is the 3.23 the diameter when stuffed or across when flat? I'm trying to find fibrous or muslin bags that are the size for Taylor Ham. Don't laugh too loud or tell too many I asked such a question. Thanks

Was planning on it this weekend until I saw what I had for casings. My muslin and fibrous are only 4" across flat. Think that might be a little too small for "Taylor Ham" (from northern Jersey) :)

I just went and checked ,,, I have some 80 mm that measure 4 1/2 - 4 3/4 unstuffed . Finished sausage was 3 "
Tie one off and fill it with water , see what it looks like .

I was lucky enough to find Taylor pork roll a mile from the house . $ 5.50 for the chub . Good stuff . What recipe are you using ?

That's a really good price if it was for 1LB. $10 here. I'm using the recipe from here http://wedlinydomowe.pl/en/viewtopic.php?t=6212. That's about the size of my casings. I think pork roll is about 4". 3 just seems too small.

I just looked at Polis clone recipe . Yeah ,, he uses 90 - 100 mm .

BR, The first number is the outside diameter of a stuffed fibrous casing.

That would be great. I buy them here from the local butcher but should just get my daughter to make them.
