They look like they are missing something!
And I know what it is!
You didn’t invite me over for the meal! -

Jamieson22 I lay them out on a large pan and stick the full tray in the freezer. Then I vacuum seal the next day.
I’m with pepperettes. same here I prefer to freeze first to hold in the moisture and not to squeeze the Charmin out of it. ;<)
@dennyo-s
squeeze the charmin! -
Okay. These are really good.

Jamieson22 Those look delicious. My stomach is growling & I’m drooling!

My dog does that to me, if I don’t share my food with her!

Those look good. I ate a reuben today from a Philly deli, and I was skeptical about the flavors making it in the pork brats. But dang those do look good! I just did a $300 Walton’s order last week, wish I’d seen this and ordered the seasoning. It looks like that HT swiss really makes it!
Dave in AZ I didn’t notice any issue at all using all pork with these. Flavor is incredible.
And I think I am in the minority, but the Swiss hi-temp isn’t the best hi-temp cheese. It isn’t really “swiss” in flavor, just gives a really nice creaminess.

I find the same with all those HT cheeses! The creamy texture is great, but I get excited to make sausage with it, and I’m never really happy when I try it! But others love it!

Pre-tubed are so easy got to try them if you haven’t
May cost more but golly they are great.I had never really done the math so am curious:
The 30/32 hog casing on Walton’s are $42.80 for 105/lb of product so $.407/lb.
The 30/32 tubed casings are $44.99 and do 105lb for $.428/lb.
So for a 25lb batch it will cost you $.525 more at $11.98.I tend to use the 32/35mm for $35.99 or the 35/38mm for $36.99 mostly. Those each do 125lbs.
So like $.287/lb for the 32/35mm or $7.20 for a 25lb batch.Jamieson22 how long can you store natural casings? Do you freeze them or just refrigerate? If I have to buy 100# worth of casing I would have to store it for a long time as I usually only make 25# or so of sausage at a time.

Tom Mitchell Honestly they may store forever. I just keep them in the bag they came in, inside of a ziploc in the fridge. On top of that if you soak more than you need, you can just re-salt them with kosher salt and put back in fridge for future use.

pepperettes that is good to know about the cheese, thx! I’m the only one in family who likes the store cheddar brats, so I might not put these cheese mix styles in my “next to make” slot.

Tom Mitchell just keep them well salted and refrigerated and you will be okay.
