- Rinse the casings in plenty of cold running water. Let tap water run through the casing. This way you’ll find any holes in the casing.
- Take a little dollop of the mixture and fry it on a small skillet, and taste it, when its cooked completely. This way you can taste the mixture, without tasting the raw meat. Season the mixture with salt, pepper and other spices.
