LEM Natural Hog Casings (1.5 in.) 8 oz. Bag

"Full Description:\n<p>LEM's edible Natural Casings make juicier, tender sausage. They provide a distinctive "pop" when you bite into sausage stuffed in natural casings. These casings should be rinsed in warm water several times, then soaked in water for one hour until soft and pliable. Always refrigerate your natural casings after the bag has been opened. For proper storage, cover casings with salt, place them in an airtight container, and refrigerate them. Properly salted and refrigerated casings should last a year.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe 8 oz. pack of Natural Hog Casings contain what the industry calls "shorts". These vary in length and diameter. The quality of the casings are identical to the hanks, they are just shorter pieces. One pack will stuff approximately 20 - 25 lbs, which makes them ideal for the home sausage maker or hobbyist.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<strong><span style="color:red">Natural casings cannot be shipped to Canada.</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\nPreparation: </strong>Soak at least 1 hour in clear, warm water, change water regularly<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<strong>Hog Casings:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Cooking Method: broil, boil, grill, or fry</li>\r\n\t<li>Use for: brats, franks or metts</li>\r\n\t<li>Casing Size: 32 - 35mm (1-1/4" - 1-1/2")</li>\r\n\t<li>Approximate Stuffed Weight: Hog Casings 8 oz. bag = 20 - 25 lbs.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<br />\r\n<strong>MM to Inches Conversion Chart:</strong>\r\n\r\n<table cellspacing="0">\r\n\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>MM</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>19 - 21mm</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>24 - 26mm</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>32 - 35mm</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>40-42mm</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>Inches</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>3/4 - 13/16"</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>~1"</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>1-1/4 - 1-3/8"</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>1-1/2 - 1-21/32"</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td colspan="11">* These are approximate numerical conversions.</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</tbody>\r\n</table>\n\n"
