Sheep Casings - 24-26 MM (1"-1 1/16") - Makes 60+ lbs

An edible casing generally used in making wieners or hot dogs. The capacity of one hank is 60-70 lbs., approximately 100 yards long. Sausage Maker casings are packed in purified salt for a indefinite shelf life. Casings should be flushed and soaked before using. Salted casings have a very long shelf life when stored properly. Un-refrigerated, these salted casings quickly begin to give off a strong odor even though they are not spoiled. Put them back under refrigeration and this odor for the most part subsides.

Diameter: 1" to 1 1/16" when stuffed

PLEASE NOTE: These casings cannot be shipped outside the US



Refrigeration & Shelf Life
These natural casings are shipped to you in a vacuum sealed bag packed in salt brine and they do not require refrigeration until after the sealed bag is opened. After the sealed bag is opened, the casings must be refrigerated, and they can generally be stored in their salt brine in the refrigerator for up to a year. If you will not be using all of the casings at once you can remove and rinse only the length of casings you will be using and leave the unused casings in the salt brine in the resealable zipper bag for later use.

We recommend that you do not freeze the casings as they may become dry, tough, and more prone to breaking and bursting when you sausage is stuffed or cooked.
