    Now, you can mitigate them opening back up by twisting them hard and then slightly freezing them before cutting them into individual links but the rounded, closed edges are most easily achieved with natural casings.

    Jonathon I was afraid of that. Damn. Should’ve went with my “gut”(see what I did there lol) and bought the natural instead. Live and learn I guess.

      What’s the easiest way to link collagen cased sausages/beats so that the stay linked and when you cut them you get the nice rounded ends? I’m worried that I should’ve gotten the natural casings instead of the fresh collagen even though I’m new to this. Thanks.

        Other then appearance, is there any real disadvantage to not having the ends of brats/sausages twisted off?

            Tex_77 there is one small downside but it only happens if you cook too fast and too hot. You can get bulbs at either end of the sausage, it looks almost like a dogs bone when it is done. I’ve never done it because I am perfect but Austin has probably done it a few times! jk

              Jonathon I’ve often wondered who is the better cook, you or Austin? Maybe its time for a cookoff other then pizza? I’m putting my money on Team Blue!

                Tex_77 We are planning on doing that for one of these livestreams, the issue is the time! Hopefully, with one of these ones in the middle of the summer, we can make this happen!

                Also, I think it depends on what you mean by “cook” if you mean heat things up that Austin bought at the store probably him. If you mean taking scratch ingredients, like growing your own wheat, milking your own cows and what not then certainly me! Okay, just kidding on the wheat and milking but I generally try to make things from as much of scratch as is reasonable.

                    Tex_77 I eat almost no soy. I know this has the potential to start some disagreements but the phytoestrogen present in soy scares me. I’ve listened to a bunch of different people say a bunch of different things but I heard Dr Rhonda Patrick say that too much is no good on Joe Rogan and decided I was just gonna cut it out. I know, I know, total “Bro Science” but as I get older, I am doing everything I can to stop the depletion of testosterone in my body! I already don’t put muscle on like I used to, so I am not doing anything to possible make it worse!
