Very informative video, thank you. What casing woull you recommend for making a Scottish haggis? This is a traditional meat mixture with herbs, spices and oatmeal, cooked inside a sheep stomach. I would like to bake this in the oven with water in the pan. The ball of haggis, usually 8 inches by 4 inches. is also wrapped in foil. They can also be simmered in water on top of stove for about 2 hours.

Duncan, I believe how much I have learned. It is great to see a fellow Canadian make good. Now my question is this: On both the pepperoni and the sausage videos when you were filling the casing I noticed that you didn't tie the ends of the casing. Did you do it later and I missed it or is not tying the ends a better way to do it?
@duncanhenry
@duncanhenry 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you Brent. I don't tie the ends, if you get a good bind during the mixing process you don't really need to with natural 29/32mm or pepperoni casings. As they cook they firm up so they don't run out the end. With big sausage like salami/summer sausage I do tie them.

@duncan henry - Question/advice: I've always made my soppressata with ~2.5" beef middles for casing . I get them from a good local supplier who has always offered Canadian product. (They're good people and patient with my salumi eccentricities) Of late they tell me they have no access to beef casing from Canada anymore. I'm fine with US but I'm pretty particular with the source of anything I'm going to feed to my family. Large hog middles would seem to be a good alternative as (I think) hog product needs to be Canadian if sold here. It appears hog middles are still produced in North America but I can't get them shipped from the US. Any chance you know where one could get (Canadian) 2.5" to 2.75" hog middles in Canada? Love the beef ham video. Please keep it coming! You are "The Sage of Sausage" Actually, I think we need to start using this term when referring to you ;)

Lol well there is lots for me to learn yet. I don't always source out the country of origin on my casings. So I am afraid I am not going to be of much help to you on this one. I know beef middles are available at halford hides and unipac, the country they are produced in though I don't know.

Quick question: Made your pepperoni beef sticks with mahogany collagen casings and they came out great! But after refrigerating them the casing is very loose. even though they were filled tightly. Had a slight wrinkle to them after they came out of the smoker but nothing crazy.

What I`d like to know is there a commercially made all beef natural casing hotdog? Years ago, there was a fast food hotdog/hamburger chain called G.D. Ritzy(s) . They had the best hotdogs I ever tasted. They were the afore mentioned hotdogs. Back in Columbus, Ohio our local butchers shop (Thurns ) only sold pork products. Just wondering.

Hi If you have the time , these are the pre bought sausage mixes I use . 250 gram /10 kg batch . I appreciate your help and could you write out the calculations so that I can reference for later uses ? Thanks
@duncanhenry
@duncanhenry 3 жыл бұрын
Sure thing! So I just figure it out as a ratio. 250g ? 10kg 1kg So you set it up like that 250g does 10kg you wanna find out how many grams you need to do 1kg (or you can substitute to grams just make sure you change 10kg to 10000g). So then you multiply 250g x 1kg = 250 Then you divide by the total 250 / 10kg = 25g/kg Or in grams 250g ? 10,000g 1000g 250g x 1000g = 250,000 / 10,000 = 25g/kg Hope this helps.

I will make a video answering all your questions in a week or two I promise. I am getting the hot dog request quite a bit. To answer your questions though. If you wanted to use a natural casing I would recommend a sheep casing (around 25mm). They are very delicate so be carful, but they allow smoke penetration. Extending shelf life. Use cure at 3g/kg and use the freshest meat possible. Once smoked and cooked (internal temp 71c 160f) vacuum package them if you have that available to you and they will be good in your fridge 0-5c 32f-40f for 35days or 1.5years in the freezer

Never mind my last comment. sous vide usually makes a tough/chewy casing unless you do a final short high temp step. Eg bake on high for a few minutes or Fry in a pan or grill. Just shortly to get that snap out of your casing.

Hey there I am glad to hear you enjoyed them! You would probably want to use something in the range of 27mm to 40mm with that size horn. 29-32mm hog casings would be the best to practice with on that size though.

So I have made many natural hog cased sausages and have rested them overnight to develop pellicle on the outside of the casing to accept the smoke better. Would collagen casings require the same treatment or would this step be unnecessary?

I always just take as much as i think i will need before putting them in water. I never soaked mine all that long. About the time i had all my meat ready i would then put them in water. By the time i finished with the bowl cutter and filled the Hydraulic stuffer, they would be ready. This was a VERY VERY long time ago. (1979)
