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 until they become soft
and pliable, and then rinsed under lukewarm
water, being sure that the water is running
through the casings. Assemble the Electric
Meat Grinder with sausage maker attachment
per instructions on page 4– 5.
2. Grind meat and seasonings of your choice,
following the instructions on page 4.
3. Place ground meat in the hopper and turn
the unit ON. Push the meat 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.
Turn unit ON and feed more ground meat into
4.
the die-cast hopper opening until all the meat
has 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. Use a knife or
needle to poke holes in the length of sausage
to let out air bubbles.
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.
To Form Individual Sausages
1. Lay long sausage on at tray and poke
hole all over with a sharp object, similar in
size to a needle or cake tester, to prevent
air pockets from forming.
2. Twist into sausages – you choose the size
– by twisting each “sausage” rst forward,
then backward, to prevent them from
untwisting.
3. Pierce any air pockets you see.
4. For best results, dry uncovered in refrigerator for about 6 hours, then ip and dry
another 6 hours before cooking.
