ethon bell assuming this is a non edible casing? You must ice bath either edible or non edible. And I mean ‘ice” bath. Just cold water will not do what it needs to do. With edible casings the ice bath makes it hold tight to the meat so it doesn’t pull off when taking a bite. With non edible it allows the casing to peel off the meat without taking chunks of meat with it. I know, it kinda contradicts its self but that’s how it works
19mm casing help!!
