Preparation
How to Use
- Once the carton is opened, the caddies must be properly stored to prevent them from losing moisture; critical for future use
- Do not soak casings prior to use. Cellulose casings are ready-to-use out of the box
- Never leave open cartons unprotected. All caddies must be covered with protective plastic film until they have been consumed
- The casings, when dried, becoming fragile and brittle, resulting in sizing and breakage issues during stuffing
- Cellulose casings must be kept in a place where relative humidity and temperature are stable or controlled. Ideal storage conditions are at relative humidity 60/70% and temperatures 60°-75° F (15°C – 24°C). Do not store casings near steam pipes or other heat sources
