Edibility These casings are fully edible, which is a major plus. They maintain a pleasant texture after cooking, providing a satisfying bite without being too tough or chewy. The clear smoked collagen does not impart any off flavors, ensuring that the natural flavors of the meat and seasonings shine through.

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) These casings have exceeded my expectations, providing a reliable and high-quality option for my sausage-making projects. They are easy to use, versatile, and offer great value, making them a staple in my kitchen.

Great product, works well and easy to use. Consistent results every time.

I purchased these prior and probably will again. These are plant based cellulose. Does not add any flavor to meat. Initially packs okay, no presoaking required. Good snap after smoking. Will split out during packing but very uniform sizes. dose shrink down with meat, but will loosen over time and becomes tough as it continues to absorb moisture in a few days. Have tried dehydration it helps but causes degraded meat texture. Vacuum packed for storage, moisture re-absorption from meat still a problem caused the casings to loosen and become undesirable to chew, no snap. Recommend as I haven't found any better replacement, do not know who actually makes these I suspect LEM isn't manufacturer. They do have an incredible line of meat processing equipment.

These were easy to use for our venison snack sticks with no odor. Perfect size and got them on discount to great value too! Seem to be very durable - only had a few parts break open but likely due to too high pressure during stuffing.

Nice casing. Easy to use for a first timer. I had 2kg of meats and used less than one “tube”. I used kitchen aid grinder with standard plastic horn that comes with it. Only had one little blowout at very beginning before I realized best way to stuff the meat. I cooked it in an oven, it was the hardest part of process but at the end I was happy with the result. Casing tasted nice, not thick or chewy like some people said. I watched a lot of videos before….and during this process, happy I tried it. Definitely would do it again.

Just what I wanted there good quality and hard to rupture

As far as what’s ordered, these are exactly that. The only issue is they don’t stay twisted and seal properly. Going back to natural casings

worked good for my venison.

great product

Never got to use it. But looks good and I think it would have been good but changed our minds.

Theses casings work great and are easy to use. The only issue is they split open while cooking. This is not a huge problem if you are not putting your sausages in a magazine for show. I will buy again I am sure.

I had no experience with collagen casings until now. Ordered package of 21mm casings and received package with 3 sticks. I received shipment very quickly. Everything was as expected. Stuffing them went with no problem. During the process they cracked couple of times but nothing out of ordinary and it's easy to fix. Post says that this is good for 40lb of meat. This i'm not so sure about. I had about 12 lb and used about one and a half sticks. I would say that it's good for 30-35 lb. After that I hanged them in the smoker. No problem there, no breakage. The only real complain i have is that when I tried to reorder them, price went from $16 to $65. I think i'm going to have to find another supplier otherwise I would stick with it.

Haven't used this product yet but I have before it will make sausage
