23mm (15/16") Vegetarian Casings

I used this to make a vegan version of Cajun Boudin. As someone who grew up in Cajun country I was heartbroken to not eat this once turning vegan. This casing really helped my heart feel like home once I made my own boudin. It honestly handled really well (not as good as natural but didn’t expect that). You can overstuff a bit but not much or it will tear. It says not to cook with oil but I put a tsp of olive oil and cooked a link to see how it would come out. It came out perfectly!
I’d say you can probably steam it as well but it may make the casing expand and have a different texture which I wouldn’t mind either. Similar to the natural thing.
My only complaint is the 20mm casing I got was super tiny for boudin links. The normal size is around 32mm. I wish there were larger sized casings for larger sized links.
I will now order the 23mm to see how these do!

Excellent product and customer service. You are in good hands here.

The vegan casings worked. This was my second time ordering and using them. My only suggestion is to include cooking instructions. There were none, and these do not act like animal-based casings. First, they're water soluble, so your fingers have to be absolutely dry. (These are apparently made from a seaweed extract, and trying to figure out why something that was once a plant growing in the ocean can be WATER SOLUBLE makes my brain hurt!) Second, different instructions picked up on several websites said grilling should be done at relatively low temps and only for a few minutes per side...baking should be no higher than 300F bringing the temp up gradually, and smoking should be at a relatively low 150F. Having these instructions included would have been useful. Overall, I'm happy with the product.

I used these to make a vegan version of my favorite dish, boudin. It was really fun and came out great. My only complaint is I wish they were available in a wider size. These are a little skinny and funny looking.
