The Sausage Maker® 26mm Fresh Collagen Casings for Sausage Making, Edible, Clear, Beef Collagen Sticks, 1” Diameter Hot Dog Casings, 98ft Sausage Skin, Stuff Approximately 28lbs Meat

The Sausage Maker Inc. Fresh Collagen Casings, 26mm. The ideal size for making hot dogs, wieners, and frankfurters. Edible; tender and delicate, yet durable enough to withstand your pan's sizzle. Can be used as a replacement for natural casings (though they will not have the same characteristics) and should be cooked shortly after stuffing. Translucent. Comes with 4 half strands per package. Stuffing capacity per package approximately 28 lbs. (98 feet). Contains collagen casings that are edible. Fresh collagen casings are a natural product made from a refined layer of cattle hide. Because of this, collagen casings are much more uniform in size, when compared to traditional natural casings. Easy to use, and do not require soaking; simply unravel and load onto stuffing horn. When twisting into links, make first twist in one direction and then next twist in opposite direction to prevent unraveling, being careful to not overtwist links (maximum two full twists). Keep sealed and under refrigeration when not in use. If casings become brittle, soak briefly prior to use.

• FRESH COLLAGEN CASINGS FOR SAUSAGE MAKING: These 26mm fresh collagen casings (1” diameter) are ideal for fresh sausages, including hot dogs and slim-caliber sausages. Made from high-quality beef collagen, they withstand the smoking process without bursting, delivering consistent results every time.
• DURABLE AND EDIBLE WITH NATURAL FLAVOR: Designed to adhere to the meat after stuffing, these thin and tender casings enhance the flavor of sausages while remaining durable enough to handle the smoking process.
• NO SOAKING OR RINSING REQUIRED: These strand collagen casings are ready to use right out of the package. No soaking or rinsing is necessary—rehydration occurs naturally during cooking. Keep refrigerated to maintain flexibility.
• EASY LOADING AND HIGH CAPACITY: Pleated for simple unfurling, these sausage casings easily fit onto 1/2″ stuffing tubes for effortless stuffing. Each package contains 98 feet of sausage skin, with a total stuffing capacity of up to 28 lbs, depending on meat density and fill technique.
• COOKING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS: Store refrigerated to prevent brittleness. If casings become brittle, briefly dip them in water before use. Avoid soaking and cook under 150°F for optimal texture and flavor.
