![]() ![]() Jonathon Parksider : Sorry, I was not clear… Parksider mentioned he prefers his dogs skinless, and I had the impression you were also advocating for removing the skin, no matter which casing was used… Parksider You make a ridiculous amount of hot dogs (Chili Dogs), you use the cellulose now right? He makes hundreds of pounds at a time I think so maybe hes got a quicker way to do it! It will probably take you 10 minutes or so to tie them off so it’s not terrible and then you can pop them out of the casing easily after cooking. It definitely takes longer than just twisting but if you pre-cut the twine to the lengths you will need it isn’t that bad. However, this does mean I tie each link off with butcher’s twine. Collagen is easy to use and stronger but they won’t twist well, natural twist but they blow out and give your finished product a lot of variation and a curve, Cellulose has the same advantages and drawbacks as collagen just even more exaggerated.įor Hot Dogs I use 26mm Cellulose Casings, it is the perfect size and it gives the perfect finish once cooked and peeled. Is there a smaller diameter hog casing that is closer to hot dog size that may be less delicate than sheep casings? Im open for as many suggestions as anyone would like to share and thanks.Ĭayenneman What you have run into here is the perfect example of the different advantages and drawbacks of each kind of casing. Ive seen the cellulose casings that you have to skin off after cooking and they don’t look that appealing either. I tried collagen casings once and don’t like the way the casings have no memory and untwist themselves. So I was wondering about other types of casings. It leads to odd lengths and diameters at times. So I kinda understaffed them which leads to more odd sized dogs due to having to squeeze the meat down the casing to get the proper size then twisting. I don’t want to stuff them to tight and have them pop when twisting. What I don’t like is that they are so delicate that Im having trouble stuffing. ![]() I like the natural casing and the fact that the casings have a memory when twisted into links. Heres the deal…Ive been using sheep casings. Im really getting into making my own dogs. Not the most beautiful but they turned out very tasty. Okay here is the latest batch of hot dogs Ive made. ![]()
