Salty's Sausage Parm grinder

Ok Just a quick post of tonight's dinner Heather is working so what the hell !! :0
 
Had some nice hot sausage from NY given to me by one of the vets i recently cooked some Q for. This stuff was spicy and had an incredible flavour.  Used fresh grated parm reg and some nice boars head mozz. 
Grilled up some nice garlic onion and green peppers. Used a batch of my jarred sauce recently so before i freeze the rest this seemed like a win win'

 
sorry pics suck gotta get a real camera. Was Fab 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Hey Big THANK YOU to ShoreRider for that awesome rocoto loco and to tinnie for the gift !!  Brother this sauce ROCKS

You're doing it wrong.
 
The casing is supposed to melt away. It holds the sausage in shape and dissolves when you cook. The fat creates a snap but that is not an intact casing. You are more than likely undercooking if you tug on casing.

or sous viding lol

i realize ... but it occurs to varying degrees ...

fire's good that way, but typically the juice leaves soon thereafter ...

Yes but most people cook at to high of a heat causing the casing to split i cook at a nice med temp never have dried out sausage this method produces a very tender casing with great snap as the boss pointed out. The key is patience let the pan do the work for this method' Grilling i do the same thing.

So which is true?  The casing melts away or the casing stays intact like OS said?
 
Can you elaborate?

If you've cooked sausage you know.

 

[grantmichaels]

it recedes, quite unfortunately ...

Haha not just you brother. Where i grew up they make hot dogs called saugies they have a serious snap some of my friend from other area's do not like that. But i Love Em. Great off the grill just eating as a snack. But hear you my Friend

It binds to the meat inside and creates a snap but is not intact as a casing anymore. It melts from that state.

You can't peel it off, so it is not a casing. Unless you're undercooking.

The casing itself stays intact you just cook away the elasticity rendering it very tender more melting away the cell structure of the casing.

It had to happen!

 

[oldsalty]

The casing will recede as well. The type of casing and how it was prepared can also affect the type of final bite. Some casing's depending on if they are pig,lamb.beef or manmade the soaking time of the casing before stuffing can affect the skins elasticty as well.

So it doesn't melt away….I didn't think so.  

 

[JayT]

Oh boy!  A PMD reference!
