Ready Spooled Sheep Casings

[Wilf]

Has anybody tried these Ready Spooled Sheep Casings advertised on other sausage sites, they are packed in salt, but on tubes ready for sliding onto stuffer tube, it says just soak in water, but how, or do they need flushing thro? certainly a lot easier than trying to unravel a few yards each time of a muddled ball of casings.

Hi wilf

They do not need flushing through but the still need to be washed before use.
They are very easy to use but expensive.

Thanks SM

I didnt think these were too bad especially for the hassle free part as I do like to use sheeps over Hogs, apart from a few trad bangers now and again

Each rod has five yards of casings�.. and they are all available with eight rods per pack�.. in two convenient Vacuum Pouches�.. cured in salt and will keep for a minimum of three months. �5-80

Hi Wilf

That a good price & for the hassle free bit I understand I spent almost 30 minutes the other day trying to seperate the little B******

I had hogs casings on a tape, but you have to take the buggers of the tape to rinse them through which means they are as much of a pain in the ar5e as getting them off a tape, AND they are more expensive. I am not going to bother again in the future

Exactly my prob, time ive pulled, bits everywhere, flicked the salt all over the work top and have to scoop it all back again, only to find after flushing them thro they seem to like to tie themselves back together again, or slip over the kitchen bowl and try to slither down the plug hole

thats it........gonna try some when I need restocking

Franco how about stocking some as I like to get my stuff from you.

[hmmm sausages]

thats why you are supposed to put the plug in wilf when you rinse your casings out lol

[Wilf]

Right cheapest option then is to buy a plug for the sink, take a few days off work and start untangling them

I've never had a problem untangling. My technique is to let them soak overnight, then put them in a sink full of water, and gently put my open fingers in the centre and gently pull apart. If they are well soaked, they just pull apart and you can sort out the individual knots easily.
