🌭 TIP TUESDAY: MAKING SAUSAGE? DON'T FORGET THE BASICS.
A successful batch of sausage isn't just about having a good recipe.
Having the right supplies ready before you start can make the entire process easier and help you get more consistent results.
Here's your checklist:
🌭 QUALITY CASINGS
Your casing determines the size, shape and finished appearance of your sausage. Choose the appropriate casing for the product you're making and prepare it properly before stuffing.
🧂 BINDER + FLAVOUR
Our binders already combine flavouring and binding ingredients, making it easier to get consistent flavour and texture without having to measure multiple ingredients separately. Follow the recommended usage rate for the product you're using.
🧀 HI-HEAT CHEESE
Making cheese sausage? Hi-heat cheese is designed to hold its shape better during cooking than regular cheese, giving you those delicious pockets of cheese instead of watching it disappear.
⚙️ THE RIGHT TOOLS
A grinder, stuffer, appropriate stuffing tube, scale and thermometer can make the process more efficient and help you produce more consistent results.
🛍️ FREEZER BAGS
If you're making a large batch, don't leave storage until the last minute. Portion your sausage, label it with the type and date, and get it packaged and ready for the freezer.
The secret isn't having the fanciest setup.
It's having the right supplies ready before you start.
