Teasing needle for sausage A teasing needle or sausage pricker is used to poke tiny holes in sausage casings to allow air or steam to escape during cooking to avoid bursting sausages. The advantages of those made especially for poking holes in sausages is that they are sanitary, reusable, and have multiple prongs that make the job go much faster. It is not essential but you will appreciate it if you make a large batch of sausage or make them regularly. You can use any sanitary thin pointy thing to accomplish this but don’t make the holes too big. If you search “teasing needle’ on eBay or other shopping sites you will see straight or bent thin needles used for teasing apart internal organs for dissection. You may even have some in your dissection kit from biology class. A regular large meat skewer may leave holes that are too wide and susceptible to expanding during cooking but a thin skewer such as the little ones used for appetizers could be used. A sharp toothpick would even work but watch out for “drag” that could result from friction with the wood. A dip in oil may prevent that. I have used a partially unfolded stainless paper clip before. If you are the browsing type and like to go to flee markets, thrift stores or garage sales, be on the lookout. I picked one up for a quarter once because they had no idea what it was or had any use for it. Here is a picture of one and good source I have used for a number of sausage making products. www.sausagemaker.com/sausage-pricker-tool-p/17-2519.htm $10 plus $1.20 for shipping.
