Pig intestines, sheep intestines or cattle intestines can all be used to make casings, and pig intestines are used the most. The processing method of pig casing, sheep casing or cattle casing is the same. Today, I will introduce the methods and essentials suitable for homemade casings and teach you how to make high-quality casings at home.

1, soaking: turn over the bought fresh small intestine, wash the dirty things on it, and then soak it in clear water 18 to 24 hours.

2. Scraping intestines: Put a wooden board obliquely in a big basin, and then prepare a bladeless scraper or bamboo board with edges. Take out the soaked small intestine and put it on the board. Scrape off the grease and unused parts of the inner wall of the small intestine with a scraper or bamboo board until the small intestine is scraped into a transparent film. After shaving, a pig's small intestine is only about 1 bowl.

Because the board is placed obliquely in the big basin, the scraped oil and other things will flow into the big basin and won't make dirty things everywhere. In addition, pay attention to the uniform force when scraping, and be careful not to scrape the intestines.

3. Rinse: After the intestines are scraped clean, they can be rinsed. Rub it with fine salt a few times before washing, so that it is easy to wash away the dirty things, remove the odor, then rinse, and so on.

4, irrigation: put one end of the intestines on the faucet, fill it with water, check whether there is a broken place, if there is, cut it from there to prevent it from leaking from the broken place when pouring meat, and finally wash it.

5, cleaning: turn the small intestine over and tear off the damaged intestinal membrane attached in front.

After completing this step, even if the casing is ready, if there is ready-made meat stuffing, you can pour it directly. If the prepared casing is not used temporarily, it can also be soaked in salt water and refrigerated for two or three days before use.

Supplementary explanation:

1, there are three kinds of special intestinal scraping knives: bamboo, plastic and iron. When making at home, you can choose a bladeless scraper or ribbed bamboo board, which is about three inches long and two inches wide, but the blade should not be sharp and should be even.

2. The finished casings on the market are all salted casings or air-dried casings, that is, the casings are salted or air-dried. These professional treatment methods are not suitable for family use, so I won't introduce them.

3. Soaking the prepared casing in salt water for more than 12 hours can enhance the elasticity of casing.
