Sticky casing
-
kzwisconsin I’m betting that the product isnt being cooled quickly enough. Make sure you are going right to an ice bath, not a cold water bath but a 50/50 ice and water bath. Not cooling quickly enough with inedible or fibrous casing will cause the meat to stick to the casing like you are talking about.

Jonathon I have run into a issue with these casing not necessarily sticking but extremely hard to peel. I soaked the casings but not with the 15% salt solution. Could that have been the issue?

jpurol Yeah, if you did 15% for 15 minutes in a 15 degree (Celsius) water and they stuck or were really hard to peel id imagine that not getting them cooledf quickly enough is/was a large part of the problem. I know I have a video/article on this somewhere, the fact that I cant find it leads me to beleive it might have been a social media meathack monday or something…Ill try to find it.

Yeah, its simply using .85 lb of water and .15 lb of salt, makes your 15% strength solution. You will probably need to triple that to have enough to do a full 15 lb batch of inedible collagen casings. Hope thats what you were asking?

twilliams just a update. I did a batch in these casings this past weekend. I did the salt water soak and right into ice bath and casing peel perfectly.
jpurol good to know, thank you. First time i used them i didnt know they needed to be soaked so i stuffed them dry. Ripped only two, didnt come out terrible, second time only soaked in water, stuffed a whole lot better. Thankful for this community to learn so much
