Quick question about snack sticks
-
Hey there! After my first attempt at snack stick, which came out pretty amazing and was a happy accident mostly, I decided to do another batch of snack sticks.
Pretty much identical process as I did before, except this time I used the Honey BBQ flavor.
During water bather in my turkey roaster, i noticed they were taking some time to get to 150* IT so I bumped the water temp a bit, as per Murphy’s law, I got a phone call.
Upon checking them after the phone call I noticed the water had creeped to 190*. When I looked at the sticks, most of the 19mm smoked collagen casings had split and come off the snack sticks. Doh!!!
I ice bathed them and cut them to length. While not visually appealing the taste is still great, just no casings. Hahaha. I plan on still air drying them overnight in the fridge.
I guess my question is are they still ok?
Thanks for any insight!

Clasko2 Yes they will be fine. They may have a drier texture because of the high heat they may have rendered some fat out.

I agree with the community on this. They should be just fine to eat but may have rendered some of the fat out. You never know, you may have developed a new way of cooking snack sticks. Be sure to let us know what comes of it

Clasko2 They should be fine, some people use a jerky shooter to make caseless snack sticks.
