What Are Sausage Casings Used For?

Sausage casings (also called sausage skins or jelita) are the edible tubes that encase sausage meat, allowing you to shape, smoke, cook, and preserve your creations. Whether you're making traditional Polish kiełbasa, British Cumberland sausage, Italian salami, or German bratwurst, the right casing makes all the difference.

Natural casings from hog, sheep, or beef intestines provide authentic texture, smoke absorption, and that satisfying "snap" when you bite. They're permeable, allowing smoke and seasoning flavours to penetrate the meat during smoking or cooking.

Osłonki naturalne (jelita) pozwalają dymowi przenikać mięso podczas wędzenia, zapewniając autentyczny smak i teksturę.


How to Choose the Right Sausage Casing

By Sausage Type:

  • Thin breakfast sausages, chipolatas, kabanosy → Sheep casings 20-24mm (jelita baranie)
  • Classic pork sausages, Polish kiełbasa → Hog casings 28-32mm (jelita wieprzowe)
  • Cumberland rings, BBQ sausages → Hog casings 32-38mm (jelita wieprzowe grube)
  • Salami, chorizo, dry-cured → Beef middles 40-60mm (jelita wołowe)

By Production Method:

  • Fresh sausages (grilled, pan-fried) → Natural hog or sheep casings
  • Smoked and cooked kiełbasa → Natural hog casings 28-32mm
  • Dry-cured salami → Natural beef middles or collagen casings
  • High-volume production → Collagen casings for speed and consistency

Preparing and Using Natural Casings

  1. Soak in lukewarm water for 20-30 minutes before use (jelita namocz w letniej wodzie przez 20-30 minut)
  2. Rinse inside and out to remove excess salt (przepłucz jelita wewnątrz i na zewnątrz)
  3. Check for holes by running water through each length (sprawdź szczelność jelita przepuszczając przez nie wodę)
  4. Slide onto sausage stuffer nozzle and tie off one end (załóż jelito na tulejkę nadziewarki i zawiąż koniec)
  5. Fill slowly and evenly, avoiding air pockets (nadziewaj powoli, unikając pęcherzy powietrza)
  6. Link or twist into desired sausage lengths (łącz lub przekręcaj co kilka centymetrów)

Collagen casings are ready to use straight from the pack with no soaking required (osłonki kolagenowe nie wymagają moczenia).
