<![CDATA[Edible Collagen Casings]]>I’m using some 17 mm edible casings for some snack sticks. I just keep them in the fridge before I use them. Is there anything I can do better - either for storage or to the casings right before I stuff? Just making sure I am using them to their full potential.

Will look at the video. Might go up a size to the 21 mm based on daveomak’s post, too. Been using Lems brand, but will order some Walton’s on my next order. Thanks.

I store them in a cool dry place and if they feel really brittle I will put them uncovered in the fridge overnight and that will rehydrate them a little bit.

I use Walton’s 21mm casings… I will not switch… they provide good a crisp bite but they tear easily, which is why they are great casings… AND… don’t try to let air out of them by pricking holes in the casings… they don’t like that and will tear where you poke the holes… You can still make short sticks from ones you do tear… they eat the same… delicious…

You can either put your casing in the refrigerator or store dry . If they become brittle or drier then normal you can wet them a little .
