TO MAkE SAUSAGES
The sausage attachments allow you to blend meats and spices
for homemade sausages.
1. If you have purchased dry casings, they must be soaked in
cold water or a mixture of 2 cups water and 1 tablespoon
of vinegar until they become soft and pliable. Soak for
approximately 1 hour, changing water 3 times to rinse salt off.
Assemble the meat grinder per instructions on page 7.
2. Cut meat into cubes that will fit through the die-cast hopper
opening. Meat can be seasoned before or after cutting.
3. Place seasoned meat cubes in the die-cast hopper and turn
the unit on. Push the meat cubes into the die-cast hopper
opening with pusher until the mixture appears at the end of
the sausage attachment. Turn the unit off and tie a knot at the
end of the 2-inch casing overhang.
4. Turn unit on and feed the meat cubes into the die-cast hopper
opening until all the meat cubes have been used or the casing
is approximately 2 inches from being completely full.
5. Turn unit off, remove the end of the casing from the sausage
attachment, and tie a knot in the open end of the casing. If air
bubbles have formed, use a knife or needle to burst.
6. Sausages can be made to the desired length by twisting the
casing at intervals.
NOTE: To avoid over-stretching and splitting the casing, do not
make the sausages too thick. The meat mixture will expand
slightly during cooking. Keep casing moist; water frequently by
dipping the sausage casing into a bowl of water or vinegar.
