Can you oversiak Summer sausage casing?

[Tom 0]

Im making a batch of summer sausage and jumped The gun on soaking my fibrous casings. They have been soaking in water for approximately an hour and a half and I didn’t know if there would be any adverse side effects for my lack if time management skills.

Tom 0 you should be fine. I don’t think there will be any issue on an extended soak time for fibrous casings.

Austin I’ve got a problem with the fiberous casing not separating from the salami cleanly after it has been smoked to 155F. What is the secret solution or method I need to use.

Brianzipperdog123 extremely cold ice bath, not just cold water, also soaking in a salt solution before stuffing may help. Have also heard the theory of adding vinegar to your soak water helps. I have not tried that method.

Brianzipperdog123 I think twilliams is right the ice bath is critical.

Brianzipperdog123 I agree with the ice 🧊 water bath. It makes all the difference in the world.
