Protein lined casings
Protein lined casings
I have a Saucisson drying in the chamber now. I used 1 1/2 inch fibrous casings. Its very hard to find small diameter casings that are protein lined. I did get a link on this board but the supplier is out and who knows when they will be back in stock.
So to get my casings to shrink in this instance, can I add protein to the meat? What if I dissolved some protein in warm water and then soaked my casings in that solution. Would that not be the same as a protein lined casing? How about soaking them in a protein solution, drying them, and then soak again in the protein solution before stuffing?? Just thinking out loud.
And, BTW, I sprayed the Saucisson with mold 600 twice and it aint worikng. But the coppa in the same space is nice and white. 2 weeks now. Whats up with that?
Thanks all.

fibrous casings made of cellulose or paper. One of ingredients is also some amount of oil - so mold wont grow on it.muxmun wrote:And, BTW, I sprayed the Saucisson with mold 600 twice and it aint worikng. But the coppa in the same space is nice and white. 2 weeks now. Whats up with that?
Hmmm, I see what your saying ButtersButterbean wrote:How could it be that if its growing on the Coppa right beside it?Kijek wrote:I know we can't say for sure, why the mold won't grow, but usually isn't it a temperator and/or humidity issue?Bob K wrote: Not sure why your mold won't grow.
Then maybe it's either a bad and/or expired 600 or not mixed correctly.... Maybe No?

I did not use chlorinated water to soak. Its been a bit over 2 weeks now and still no mold growth. Its a mystery but I wont lose sleep over it.
So now as this is drying there are long strips of air pockets. Not sure if I should worry about them or not.
Next time I will use natural casings as per Reds recipe. I guess I was afraid they would break and fall being hung.
Thanks all for the input.
