Thanks for the info, jmolinari I am going to try a batch of the emulsified sausage next, and the book strongly recomends NOT to use the KA stuffer, but instead to use a pastry bag. The books mentions to pipe directly from the pastry bag into the poaching liquid, but I was wondering if anybody had any expirience with piping from a pastry bag into casings. The other options could be for some of you to email my wife and tell her that I REALLY need to buy another stuffer. Thanks
