TSM 22mm (7/8") Fresh Collagen Sausage Casings

We ordered these and they arrived the next day. We had already made our sausage meat and were hoping that these would arrive, and they did. Right on time! We had everything prepared, loaded our sausage stuffing machine and put these casings on the stuffing tubes. Everything worked great. We stuffed 10lbs of Bratwurst, had some for dinner and froze the rest.These casings cook up OK. They are not natural casings and easily pop open when cooking. I have had many natural casings do the same. But with the high cost of natural casings, these work great. They do not do anything to the taste and make terrific sausage links.I am happy with these casings and think they perform well and make great tasting sausages. They store in the fridge for a long term shelf life. We had no tearing or holes when making our sausages and they performed like natural casings. For all of that we give them 5 stars.

These are so much less work than natural casings and worked great! I had no issue with breakage or bursting stuffing sausage and it cooked up awesome! Nice and tender but held up to cooking perfectly. These are a great all around size in my opinion and use it for breakfast sausage as well as brawts.

Firsttime using this product, would've been helpful it tips or hints were included! We dampened the collagen skins first, worked ok but broke consistently and you couldn't twist. We tried using the collagen skins dry, worked better but we found they ripped too, so we twisted and tied with string to keep them from untwisting worked much better! Just gonna have to cut the string after we bbq the brats. We also used a bass-pro kit but very tough skins, hard to bite into 😡. So hopefully these are better?? So rating about flavor is not accurate we just finished grinding up 2 hogs, haven't cooked them yet.

We process our own meat and I'm glad I found d these casing. They are fantastic!

Great for stuffing home made breakfast sausage!Casings will not perform as lamb, pork or beef casings people!They will stuff and freeze perfectly but you shouldn't expect a collagen casing to perform as a natural casing!A George Foreman type press will leave casings in tact with neat little browned lines for those that care about presentation. My house is about feeding the hungry kids that peel the casing off anyway. (And occasionally throw them at each other) Links go in pan Frozen or thawed with water until cooked. Turn up high for a Browning finish! Crust in pan to be expected! 😂. Yum yums!!

Very easy to use and made the stuffing process easy. I was planning on peeling off the casing after smoking as ones I have bought in the past were rather tough. These had a good snap and were not chewy at all. No blow outs while stuffing and the whole stuffing process went smooth. Buy theses, you will not be sotrry.

I regularly use these for making droëwors (South African dried sausage. The Collagen Casings work well for this, and they are really easy to use. No preparation required.

I bought these to make breakfast sausage rather than pay the $$$ to get natural (sheep) casings. First time using collagen casings and I'm not too excited about them.I couldn't fit a (partial) sleeve onto my smallest stuffing tube so I ended up threading them onto the tube by hand. Due to the thickness and stiffness (compressibility) I couldn't get very much on the 6" tube so I ended up stopping and starting while I reloaded the casings. Over and over since they are only22mm. With natural casings you can feed a tremendous length onto the tube.I will say that the collagen casings are nice in that you just can't damage them with mishandling and they cook up just fine. Little more difficult for me to twist.I'm just going to spend the million dollars and buy a tube of natural 22mm sheep casings.Edit:Spent $$$$ on natural casings and matching tube only to find out they are so thin and tender they are really unforgiving. Finally, in frustration, pulled them off the tube and threw them away and used my remaining 22mm collagen casings. I suspect my sausage mixture wasn't wet enough and that was partof the problem but even with an oiled tube they feed poorly I felt. I will try again.In the meantime, I found a smaller LEM tube for my stuffer and can now load an entire collagen sleeve on the tube so that makes them usable. Annoyed that LEM sold me these casings in a stuffer kit that didn't contain the right sized tube.
