British Natural (34/38) Hog Sausage Casings – 24m

As a professional butcher myself, I am VERY critical over what products I buy. It's the training, honest!I have had to develop a series of recipes for my family as food intolerances and other ailments have been beginning to stack up. As a result I decided to start with sausages and work up from there. I ordered these as a nothing risked, nothing gained kind of thing. Especially after everything I know from my training, you tend to stick to what you know best from the suppliers you know best. However for home manufacturing of sausages, I do not need the quantities that I get at my place of work, so I needed to find someone who could sell quality, but in the quantities that are suitable for home manufacturing, and off the back of all the customer reviews, I decided to give TongMaster a try out, and those reviews don't half live up to expectation!Considering it was on the run up to Christmas when I ordered casings, they did a remarkable job getting them to me so fast! They were in perfect condition when they arrived, and incredibly well packaged. That was a good omen from the moment they came through the door!I put one lot in to soak overnight to ensure tenderness, and when it came to filling them, I was seriously impressed. To compare to the ones I use at work, these were a doddle to stuff. They didn't bind on the nozzle at all, and were perfect for linking. I didn't have any burst on me when linking, or cooking the next day, although I'll admit to being a tad too excited and ended up overstuffing them a little bit, they never burst at all!I've already ordered another batch of casings for breakfast sausages next, and I am confident that they'll be of the same quality as I have already received from this order.So if you want a professionals opinion, these are perfect for your sausages. Simply forget any competition, Tongmaster are all you'll ever need!

This product is perfect for making regular size sausages, arrived well packaged. Drawback is it comes slightly wet in bag and not on tubes compared to other similar products ordered elsewhere, but is better value. If you want to keep this product longer once opened as there is quite a few yards of, it is simple: add salt to it ( i added rock but other is fine) , leave it to dry for a day opened and keep it in an airtight container once it has dried a bit more, either in fridge or cupboard. When you want to re-use it, just soak for a few hours to run the salt off. Eay peasy...

These casing were very good, I cut them into 1 yard lengths and then rolled them up into a ball, I put the balls into the cups on an ice-cube tray and filled them with water then froze them. Now all I have to do when I decide to make fresh sausages is take an ice cube out of the freezer and let it defrost. Brill idea. lol

These work well, taste great and are easy enough to load onto your stuffer - as long as you grease up your nozzle!They make an impressive looking sausage with a right chunky girth!

Great, exactly what they should be and because they are on a central core they are easy to use, no trying to find the ends, for those of you who are new to sausage making, there is a lot of casing in this pack but it is excellent value for money and they keep in the fridge or freezer fine.What more can I say,

Just to be clear: the casings are fine.HOWEVER, the tapes that they are on mean that as you try and slide them on to the stuffer they get wrapped over themselves and then do not come off nicely at all. I have been stuffing sausages for many years and this was my first try at ones on tapes. In my opinion you are better off buying the loose ones. Yes they take a bit longer to load up but then they are MUCH quicker and easier to stuff.

I ordered the casings at the same time as buying a machine from Amazon. The product was as described and arrived on time to Spain. After my first attempt and the sausages splitting I contacted the supplier for any advice. They emailed my straight away with some hints and directed me to their very useful site. The second batch of sausages were some of the best I have ever tasted!

Items arrived in prompt time. But I was dissapointed about the use by date. I emailed the firm and a very nice chap rang me back and apologised and sorted out the problem in a very friendly and efficient manner. I will definitely be using this company again, without even bothering to trawl around elsewhere! The skins are very easy to use (and this was my first time too!) and just the right thickness; they held the meat together in a perfect shape, and were lovely and thin when eaten.
