@coladad Okay, so batch in the oven didn’t have the same issue, so assuming all other things are equal I’ve got to think that there was something in that which caused the casings to burst. I wonder if the extra pressure of the hanging did it? It is also possible that the casings were old or had an issue of some sort. Clearly, it doesn’t sound like mixing was the issue. I keep zooming in on the ones that burst and the casings look like even had they not burst they would have separated from the meat.

@Jonathon can’t argue with your logic, please let us know how the experiment turns out.
