remobb Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Hi all, I am going to make my own sausages but am a little confused with case sizes and size of the funnel I need. I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this. I want to make a reasonable size sausage (width) around 1.75 inches. What size cases should I use and what size funnel. Also, where can I purchase the funnel from apart from China. I have heard or read that Makro sell the cases, is that rue? I will check this weekend. Many thanks for any replies.

jaiyenyen Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Makro also have a shop called Champ (I think). They're usually found somewhere in the Makro car park. They sell Thai brand commercial kitchen equipment. You should find your funnels there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vogie Posted October 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2020 Depends which Makro you use I suppose, my local Makro in Sattahip does not stock them. But Lazada have plenty, most come from China, but only took about a week to arrive. As a previous poster stated use collagen, no cleaning or soaking necessary, just slide on the tube. This was my last lot. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nout Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Use pigs intestines ..or no casing at all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jastheace Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 20mm for standard size bangers. they will get bigger filling out the casing. 15mm for chipolatas. i know a supplier in the UK who ship these out worldwide. maybe you're doing them for yourself, friends,family etc and no need for high production runs. then the manual screw a handle ones doing about 3-5 kg would suffice. 30mm nozzle as less pressure delivered. you'll end up with one arm like popeye though.

hugocnx Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Makro hog casings are good enough for home made sausages. Only problem with them is the amount of holes in them and the variety in caliber size. Every big wet market has at least one shop where you can buy them fresh salted or else ask a Thai sausage vendor where he/she gets 'm. What OP wants is a 40 - 45 mm caliber and I believe that is too wide for regular sausages. 30 - 35 mm is better. BOT ingredients BKK have indeed collagen casings, but you have to buy minimum 1 box and they are expensive. Also collagen won't bent when stuffed.

No difference except you do get a crunch with sausage skins, probably sausages might be easier to store and make hot dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsallmine68 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Casinga in Makro are around 350 baht for a package Sorry dont know the size I just saw 2 days ago in Udon I saw a girl on youtube doing Lao sausages all she used was the end of a pop(Coke ) Bottle Slower but it does the job Good luck Rather than sausages start out with patties to get the taste right then move onto sausages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBob Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I get my casings from Makro and they are pretty good. I have also bought them from a butchers in Talad Thai, but they are a bit variable. Mince is OK to start with, but you have no control of the size of grind or the fat content. Macro will grind pork for you if you buy enough/talk nicely to the butcher. A steel hand mincer can be had for 2,000 baht up, alloy ones a bit cheaper. Check that you can buy replacement cutters. We had home made Italian style sausage tonight from a 3kg batch I made two weeks ago. Currently looking for a nice pork shoulder to turn into a ham for Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUNROAMIN Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Makro have the real deal, pig intestine, cleaned and salted, however, problem is it is frozen and large quantity, once thawed you need to use all. A lot of sausages, not sure about refreezing the skins for future use??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
