Sous Vide Snack Sticks

[Ron Grisar]

After watching Jon’s live stream, I tried finishing summer sausage, fibrous casings, directly in water bath, no bags with great results.
My question is can I also finish snack sticks with collagen casings the same way?

[YooperDog]

Ron Grisar yes you can.

Ron Grisar as YooperDog says yes you can I’ve done it before with great results IMO

Ron Grisar I also finish mine in water with an electric Turkey roaster with great results.

I was hoping the same could be done with the collagen casings as the summer sausage turned out so good.

Thank you all for your help, Happy New Year!

When finishing sticks or summer sausage via sous vide, can you just set the temp to 165 for a couple hours vs using temp probe?

Bigtwin 165F is too hot for sous vide snack sticks
They will reach that temp in minutes and you may have fat-out
Better to give them an hour at 150-153F this will not over cook the sticks and ground meat at 150 internal will be pasteurized in around a minute
