Hi all,
I'm making chipolatas tomorrow and I'll be using sheep casings for the first time. I'm a little apprehensive as I've heard they're difficult to work with and can split easily so any advice from the gurus would be appreciated.
I have a few questions:
1) The casings are rinsed out and soaking for about 20 hours, too long?
2) When I flushed out the insides there were a couple of holes where the water was coming out of ( No, not the ones either end). Will this be a problem when stuffing or cooking?
3) I was going to use the same recipe I use for my breakfast sausage. Do I need to change any of the ratios as they're much thinner.
4) There was a much stronger smell off the sheep casings then off the hogs, normal?
Thanks in advance
Steve
