HOW TO STUFF SAUSAGE
1. Grind the meat to the proper consistency you desire for your
sausage (See How to Grind Meat on page 6).
2. Add water and the spices of your choice to the mixture. Mix
thoroughly and chill overnight in the refrigerator.
Note that you do not
have
to refrigerate the mix prior to stuffing,
however, it will stuff better and easier if you let it set and chill
overnight.
3. Choose the proper sized casing for your sausage. Bunch it up
onto the sausage stuffing tube.
4. Put your sausage mixture into the meat pan and stuff it into the
running grinder using the meat pusher.
5. When the sausage starts filling up the casings, twist the casings
off to your desired length.
NOTE: Meat must be prepped beforehand. You cannot grind
unprocessed meat directly into sausage casings.
TIPS:
• Using the Foot Pedal Power Control will make this process much
easier. (Only available on some models)
• Water content in a sausage mixture is very important. The correct
amount of water for each blend of meats and spices differs
tremendously. Some trial and error may be necessary.
• The amount of salt added to your mixture MAY affect how dry
your mixture becomes if left standing or chilling because salt
absorbs moisture. This may affect how well your mixture will
stuff. Adding salt too soon (for example: letting your mixture set
overnight with the salt added) will make your mixture too thick and
will NOT extrude very well - if at all.
• There are many “How To” books, websites, and YouTube videos
on sausage stuffing for beginners. Some of these sources offer
free recipes and advice. Applying the techniques of professionals
learned through these informative resources will decrease the trial
and error needed and produce a mixture that will satisfy.
• When stuffing, it is a good idea to spray all parts of the grinding
head (wherever the sausage mixture comes in contact) with a
cooking spray like PAM or Food Grade Silicone. This will make
your sausage extrude a lot faster and makes the stuffing process
easier.
