Clarissa asked:Is there a trick to twisting the links I don't know?
Milady, are you using real or artificial casings? I myself use natural
casings (out of personal preference and so m'lord Ras will continue to
admit, on occasion, that he knows me ;-) and have never had a problem
with them untwisting provided everything was tight, tidy and WELL
washed. I do have a German friend in the Bay area though, who taught me
most of what I know of sausage amking, who actually ties the skins in a
knot at the end of each link. Understand, this takes much practice and
more dexrterity, and I myself prefer the twist (lazy lil Pucker that I
am). Essentially what he does is, as he fills each link, he pulls the
casing off the filler tube a ways, and then quite deftly ties a knot by
feeding everything thru on itself. Not difficult to do, but very
difficult to do well in order to avoid air pocket and such. Hope this
helps.
Regards, Puck
