Hog casings are used for a variety of different sausages. Each package contains approximately 54 feet (not in a single piece) and will stuff about 18 pounds of sausage meat. Filled diameter should be about 1 3/8". Casings are shipped salted and frozen; keep in your freezer until ready for use. Thaw and rinse well internally prior to stuffing. Unused casings can be salted and refrozen until you make your next batch of sausage. Since these are "natural", cleaned casings, there may be naturally occurring weak spots that may split when stuffed. No problem, just cut there and make slightly smaller section of sausage.
