Smoked Collagen Casings, 38mm. A Smoked collagen casing perfect for making bratwurst, Italian sausage, and dry cured pepperoni. Edible; tender and delicate, yet durable. Ideal casings for smoking and hold up better than natural casings. Used for making dried sausage sticks or other semi-dry or dry cured products. These casings are made to be more durable to carry the weight of the meat when hanging on a smokehouse stick. Comes with 3 half strands per package. Stuffing capacity per package approximately 60-70 lbs. per package. Collagen casings are a natural product made from a refined layer of cattle hide. Because of this, collagen casings are much more uniform in size, when compared to traditional natural casings. Easy to use, and do not require soaking; simply unravel and load onto stuffing horn. When twisting into links, twist first link in one direction and then twist next link in the opposite direction to prevent unraveling, being careful to not over twist (maximum two full twists). Keep sealed and under refrigeration when not in use. If casings become brittle, soak briefly prior to use. Review: a decent casings for smoked sausage - i used these casings to make smoked breakfast sausage. had used collagen casings in the past for snack sticks and being these were a lot cheaper than natural sheep/hog i gave them a try. they were easy to slide onto the stuffing horn and stuffed great, they feed off the horn easily with minimal hand pressure on the tube. i stuffed them till they took 95% of the 'wrinkles' out of the casings where they were folded and had zero blow outs or splits. i did prick them every 2-3 inches before i smoked to 151 degree internal temp, then placed into an ice bath to drop the internal temp below 80 degrees. dried and cut into lengths before letting them meld in the refrigerator overnight. the following morning i vacuum sealed and into the freezer (no need to flash freeze). I had no wrinkling at all, no splits and the casings bonded well to the sausage, the smoke penetrated well and flavored the sausage beautifully. they have a good snap and minimal chewiness to them but more than sheep casings. overall, they performed well for me. i read a few complaints in the reviews about not being able to twist into links, and although i don't link mine, i did give it a try to see how well they would, after sitting overnight to form a pellicle they soften up a bit and are easy to twist into link/brats Review: Non-pork Collagen casings. - Since I am Kosher, these beef hyde collagen casings are the perfect choice. Many chicken/turkey sausage products you find in the grocery store(s) use pork casings (read the labels). It really defeats the purpose if you stay away from pork for whatever reason(s). Not to mention that pork casings are what transported swine feces out of the pig. The casing was too long for the Kitchenaid sausage tube so I cut about 20 feet off the end and started with that. Not an inconvenience at all if you consider the consequences of leaving 20 feet off the end of the tube opening and try to fill it. While these are perfectly edible casings, they are also very sturdy. I had two Kielbasa that had air pockets and I had to squeeze meat down to alleviate them, the tubes stood up nicely to the extra pressure I applied. Unlike pork casings, spinning to twist and seal ends does not work on collagen casings. Be sure to also purchase Butcher's twine to seal up the ends (and read use instructions). Leave about 1/2" flat space between sausages and tie twine close to the end of the sausage meat. Cut halfway between sausages (1/4") and this should keep the twine from popping off. These are really nice, durable, edible and easy to use casings. They do not require any soaking or any water at all. Keep them dry. And the price is very reasonable if you break it down into how many sausages you end up getting out of this these. And enjoy the delectable crunch. I will be ordering these again, and again... ## Features - CLEAR SMOKED COLLAGEN CASINGS FOR SAUSAGE MAKING: These 38mm smoked collagen casings (1.5” diameter) are ideal for fresh sausage, cured meats, and smoked sausage, including Kielbasa and liver sausage.

What is the biggest staffing horn size can be used?** A: Right at the top of the listing it says "1 1/4". That is the diameter, the standard size of bratwurst and such, like Johnsonville sells **Q: How do you cook the sausages without the casing shriveling up and removing itself from the Sausage** A: I'm not sure just what's going on with your sausages. Mine don't shrivel up and break. Maybe your cooking too long, or too high of a temperature. I just did some yesterday and they turned out just right. 1 1/2 hour then flipped them over for another 1 1/2 hour at 190 degress in the oven on a baking sheet until they were at a internal temperature of 160-165. Then I let them cool for about an hour then put them in the fridge overnight. Trimmed them to the size I like the next morning. About 10 inches, so they fit into a gallon size zip bag. Hope this helps. **Q: Will these break or loosen when the sausages are boiled?** A: If you pack them too tight they will, and tie them and not twist them. Temperature of water to about 180° before submerging them. I also use a rolling pen so the casing are free to expand. However, this is after you make an emulsion for hotdogs if you’re making sausages you can fill them a little bit more. The traditional method is to puncture the casings but I don’t do that. **Q: what would happen if i did soak this product before stuffing ?** A: It will break while stuffing if it gets wet, soaking it would probably make it dissolve, working area needs to be completely dry, if stuffed product gets wet it will break when you hang it or handle it ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a decent casings for smoked sausage *by K***C on March 10, 2025* i used these casings to make smoked breakfast sausage. had used collagen casings in the past for snack sticks and being these were a lot cheaper than natural sheep/hog i gave them a try. they were easy to slide onto the stuffing horn and stuffed great, they feed off the horn easily with minimal hand pressure on the tube. i stuffed them till they took 95% of the 'wrinkles' out of the casings where they were folded and had zero blow outs or splits. i did prick them every 2-3 inches before i smoked to 151 degree internal temp, then placed into an ice bath to drop the internal temp below 80 degrees. dried and cut into lengths before letting them meld in the refrigerator overnight. the following morning i vacuum sealed and into the freezer (no need to flash freeze).

What you can't do is twist links. People say you need to make them wet, but even with that I had trouble. That's the nature of these collagen casings. They tend to un-twist. Depending on the sausage I make, I either ty knots with butcher's twine or just leave gabs between the links, without twisting. Note: these are not meant for smoking! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Sausage Maker® 38mm Collagen Casings For Sausage Making, Edible, Clear, Smoked Beef Collagen Sticks, 1.5” Diameter Kielbasa, Liver Sausage, 74 Feet Sausage Skin, Stuff Approximately 60 Lbs Meat - LEM Products Mahogany Smoked Collagen Casings, 19mm, Edible Sausage Casings, Stuffs Approximately 16 Pounds Per Pack, Great for Snack Sticks, Hot Dogs, Metts, Andouille, Brats, and More, 2-Pack - The Sausage Maker® High Temp Pepper Jack Cheese 5 Lbs Hi-Temp Cheese For Sausage Making, 1/4" Diced Cube, 400° Temperature High Heat Cheese For Grilling, Salami, Snack Sticks, Summer Sausage --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/42343620-the-sausage-maker-38mm-collagen-casings-for-sausage-making-edible](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/42343620-the-sausage-maker-38mm-collagen-casings-for-sausage-making-edible) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
