How to Prepare Sausage Casings

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Karl James owner of Creolesoul catering located in Round Rock, Texas and on behalf of Expert Village I'm here to show you how to make hot links. Okay we are preparing our casing here and we had them soaking in some warm water for a while and they start to separate and you can see how pliable they get and we have a few of them here and we are taking them apart separating them and then what we are going to do is find the end and we are basically going to open it up and then we are going to run some water through it. This way we can check to see if there is any holes in the casing, as well rinse that salt that they where packed in so we got one right here threaded onto our nozzle of our sink and we would rinse some water through it. It will start to fill up and we would just let it run through and we see that there is not leakage here so we got a good casing there. So we would put that to the side and we would use that and we would continue to search to our casing separating them, finding the end and then threading it on to our nozzle here our faucet. Then run water through it and we would move on to our stuffing step so see you there."
