What are sausage casings? Sausage casings are used to hold and shape the filling inside so that it can be cooked. While most sausage lovers will cook a sausage in its casing, there are times when the casings can be removed. Removing a sausage casing gives you access to the deliciousness inside, allowing you to use the filling for other recipe ideas.
Sausage casings hold and shape the meat and spices inside to keep it all contained. Johnsonville casings come in natural and synthetic varieties, all of which are edible. Basically, decasing a sausage gives you access to the meaty goodness inside, allowing you to use the ground meat for other recipe ideas.
The easiest way to remove a sausage casing is to remove it while the sausage is uncooked. Casings can be removed easily with a simple knife.
To make the process even easier, put the uncooked sausage in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes before slicing. This will help prevent the filling from sticking to the casing.
You can still remove a sausage casing after it’s started to cook. More care is needed here, but it’s still an easy process.
Keep your plates full, keep your tables fuller, and whatever you do, don’t forget to keep it juicy.
