Uncooked Sausage

The easiest way to remove a sausage casing is to remove it while the sausage is uncooked. Casings can be removed easily with a simple knife. 

  1. Cut sausage end to end with the tip of a knife. The cut should be shallow enough to pierce the casing—don’t cut all the way through the sausage.
  2. Flip sausage over, cut side down.
  3. Grab the split casing on one end with your thumb and forefinger and pull back the casing.
  4. Use the newly freed ground sausage or store for later.

To make the process even easier, put the uncooked sausage in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes before slicing. This will help prevent the filling from sticking to the casing.
