is one Smokin' Farker
so i have some "use em or lose em" vacation days, and i needed to do some work around the house, but i really wanted to make a pile of sausage. so i took some time off last week.
i made brats, cajun boudin and chicken jalapeno on thu-sat (along with brakes on the wifes car and a new head gasket on the tractor). hit the wall yesterday and while the hot links were ground/mixed but i just didn't want to stuff.
so the casings sat overnight.
and there was the epiphany.
i had always just soaked casings for 30 minutes prior to stuffing. sometimes works well, other times, not so much.
these overnight soaked cases were perfect. the best way to describe how easy they worked, is not appropriate for a family forum, but everything was perfect.
the take away: start soaking casings the day before.
now, i'm sure everyone else already knows this "trick", but since there may be some idiots like me, i figured i would share!
