These larger casings are used for making salami. Each package contains approximately 13 feet and will hold about 22 pounds of salami meat. Filled diameter is about 2 1/4". Packages are shipped salted and frozen and should be kept in you freezer until ready to use. Thaw and rinse well internally prior to stuffing. Since these are "natural", cleaned casings, there may be naturally occurring weak spots that may split during stuffing. No problem, just cut there and make slightly smaller section of sausage.
