Spice Lined Casing

[Jonathon]

We just made some Summer Sausage with Wisconsin Summer and the Black pepper, Pepper and Garlic, Diablo, Gyro Lined Casings. I called the Gyro Mediterranean over, and over again! Might end up changing the name.

The seasoning transferred perfectly to the outside of the sausage giving them a great look and a nice flavor. Will absolutely use again and they are listed above by my preference.

I was going to upload a pic of them but I forgot to take one with my cell phone and they are still working on the images from the nice camera. i will update the post eventually when we have those, or go to Instagram and view our story on them, have a video.

First pic they are in the casing and 2nd is after we peeled them…in case you couldn’t figure that out?

This looks interesting. Wisconsin summer… of course it’s first.

Jonathon Looks like a great way to get a professional finish

[Jonathon]

PapaSop Lol, they were all made with Wisconsin Summer Sausage Seasoning, sorry! So, these casings are a topper, or finisher, not enough to season an entire sausage!

Jonathon Now that looks interesting, another thing being put on my list to try. That list is getting long because of this sight.

Jonathon What are you using for the base recipe for the meat? Do you/ would you/ need to make any adjustments to compensate for the seasoning in the casing?

[Jonathon]

processhead Zero adjustments to recipe or process. When these first came in I made a test batch and because of the way things fell they sat in a cooler for 4 days before we peeled them. They peeled really cleanly then but I thought maybe that had something to do with it, so i made sure to peel these the next day and the came away perfect. They are a textile (cloth) casing so I was also worried about a shower cycle but like I said, zero change and they worked really well.

We shot a video today, PatrickB will edit it over the next few days and we will get that live. Now that I am typing that though something occurs to me that tells me I need to test something else. I need to see if an ice bath is going to cause any issues, it worked fine with a shower cycle but an ice bath might be a different story. Okay, one more thing to do before we release that video!

Jonathon man they look great.

[Ridley Acres]

Ha, so tasty he keeps coming up with variables to “test”!

Jonathon Looks great. Another way to add another flavor, eye appeal and texture. I see some experimenting in the future.

Jonathon wow! That seasoning really transferred over well to the sausage!

Jonathon Looks amazing! getting ready to order stuff for summer sausage. A definite must try!

Waiting for the movie!

[Jonathon]

Okay, the “movie”( thanks samspade ) should be coming out this week! Also, we tested a few things on Thursday and using an Ice Bath for 20 minutes or so is perfectly acceptable instead of a shower. I might even argue the spice looks a little better on those ones. For the ones that got showered it almost seemed like the spice got embedded into the sausage, with the ice bath the spice was more clearly ON the sausage instead of IN the sausage. This will make more sense when we release the video and the post.

Jonathon Can these casings be finished in a hot water bath or do they have to be finished in smoker?
