Question:

Some sausage comes with a casing which is hard to remove. I prefer to remove it, so what’s the best method?

— Hilda P J

Answer:

So like hot dog casing is very hard to remove. So let's let's just try this the way that I do it. I will cut off just a little bit at the top and then I'll make a sliced down the side of it. and then hot dog casings are very hard because they've already been cooked on. And then sort of just peel down as I go. So trying to get some purchase and some leverage and then once you get Enough of it pulled off. This is just sort of like peeling a sticker off of a book. You're giving us a gift Etc. You don't just start in one corner and rip you kind of work your way down the side and then slowly slowly slowly kind of roll it off Etc. That's that's what I do and I typically take the Such a covering off for things like Spanish chorizo things like that if it is a raw sausage. it is easy enough just to kind of push it out, you know just find the end of it there and just find the end of the casing and there's in this. Case and then just squeeze the meat directly out when raw is probably easier than trying to get it off after the fact if cooking just depends on the sausage and the nature of it. So a couple of different techniques for you there. Cheers.
