Lets get sausage-making
- Mince the meat through your mincer using the larger holed mincer plate.
- Add ingredients.
- Mix in well and now mince through the smaller mincer plate.
- Mix again through the fine plate to get a fine emulsion.
- Place the sausage emulsion into the sausage filler and put the size nozzle on the filler that will fit you casing. Natural hog or sheep casing or collagen casings (known as artificial casings).
- Turn the handle on the sausage filler and feed the emulsion into the casing.
- Don’t fill the casing to full as it will not be able to be tied off.
- Feel the sausage as it is coming from the filler and it should be comfortably soft to the touch.
- Once you have filled out the casing, tie each end with a simple knot.
- Twist off into lengths of about 15cm. Do not separate.
