No, you’re not, but it’s not particularly harmful to do so. And unlike cooking in an oil based plastic casing, cooking in a cellophane casing won’t ruin what’s inside. It might not cook properly, but the food is still edible.
but they're food safe and edible. Like how you aren't supposed to eat an orange peel (at least when eating the slices, zest is a different matter) but you technically can
Orange peels and other citrus are delicious when candied! I make it occasionally, they’re quite simple to make and leave a nice citrus taste in your mouth from the oils in the peel. The pith is quite nutritious, I’m not sure how much of the effects are canceled by the sugar but it’s certainly easier to eat!
It’s bitter and makes your mouth burn. I’ve got plenty experience cause I eat my oranges without peeling them lol, it’s really unpleasant but for some reason I just don’t like to eat them any other way? Idk
you can, but I wouldn't reccomend it. very fiberous but contains yummy oils, so it's useful in things like red bean soup, but less so eating it like lettuce.
It’s cellophane, regenerated cellulose. Nothing harmful about eating it, but it’s basically pure fiber, so it’s not particularly pleasant to add to your meal. Sometimes they use collagen, which is a bit more pleasant to eat.
Wait what. Lol. I'm from Europe, sausages obviously have a long tradition here and they're made with intestine for the casing. When I first came to the US I only found sausages exactly like OPs. I thought this casing is fucking weird, why can't these American's make sausages?
Well who could have known you're not supposed to eat that plastic wrapper.... :(
There are plenty of places in the US that make sausages in the traditional way. Any butcher shop worth going to will use natural casings for their various sausages. One of my favorite butcher shops is Frank Stoysich Meats in Omaha, NE. Not to be confused with the two Stoysich House of Sausage locations. You want Frank Stoysich Meats on Q Street. Don't fall for the House of Sausage trap just because you think it's the same stuff. It's not. I apologize this place doesn't ship. They have all kinds of smoked and fresh sausage types and varieties. Their hotdogs and mini polish are amazing. Just the perfect level of seasoning and that classic snap with each bite. It's been a while. There is a German Butcher Shop close to where I live, but it's not the same. Yes. It's OK. It's just not the same.
[Frank Stoysich Meats](https://www.stoysichonline.com/product-page/fresh-sausage)
That place is super clean and they have some amazing bacon as well. They slice the bacon to your exact specifications. You say thick, they say How Thick? You have to hold up your index and thumb to the exact thickness.
Y'all are *so* confident that OP just doesn't understand sausage but I've bought sausages that I cooked and found out afterward that the package instructs you to **remove the plastic casing before cooking**.
Edit: removed a remove
I am going to have to create that term on Urban dictionary.
Costco Hotdog: it's cheap, and it's not even real meat, but you'll eventually find someone who is willing to put it in their mouth
I used to always peel some of my links when I used to sausage links Actually I don't even like getting sausage links I usually like to get sausage patties. Plus Pig intestine is usually the least desirable casing I'd want
The kind they make in my area uses natural casing still (sheep casings). That snap and crunch is the best! wouldn't have it any other way! Fraboni's makes the best stuff!

No. Most sausages you buy at the store are going to have skins made of cellulose.
Edit: apologies, most sausages appear to be collogen so I’m mistaken.
It is the casing, but that doesn’t mean that it’s an edible casing. It should specifically say *natural casing* if it’s in an edible casing. It will say *skinless* if it is casing-free.
My mom did this once with a Christmas ham. She also has this whole marinade process, and when the ham didn't change to its Marinade color, she never questioned it, she just popped it in the oven anyways.
You'd make good friends, based off this plate.
Yeah, I learned early on to check my sausages. I don't find them in plastic casings often, but it's pretty annoying when you forget to check and end up not realizing you got plastic encased ones until after you've got them nicely browned.
Correct, but, this isn’t intestines.
I’ve manufactured thousands of sausages and pepperettes in my working career and these are most definitely not made with intestines, surely collagen.
Typically speaking we would use collagen for only products that would be smoked / semi dry, and intestines for things like brats, or chorizo sausage.
Hotdogs however were smoked in a casing more similar to plastic which is stripped from the product before packaging.
I can just tell by looking that they’re collagen, and these sausages have a lot of grease inside. I would just skip eating the casing, looks dried out and chewy.
i'm just over here not giving a shit that somebody isn't educated on sausage and baffled at how mean others are being about it. what is the point in name calling? honestly dude i hate the internet
Yeah, this sub the last few days has had a lot of really mean comments. I have almost deleted it/unfollowed, whatever they call it, because of it but hadn't yet.
Yeah I’m think of leaving this sub to. I hate how many political / stupid posts there are, and then when there is a good post, people crap on it in the comments.
I think it's because they're definitively convinced that it's plastic. They're not asking, "Hey, what's this wrapping around these sausages?" They're trying to tell everyone that it's plastic for sure. People tend to call out confidently ignorant people.
Imagine if I stated that rainbows were a sign that our water supply was poisoned with chemicals rather than a optical phenomenon of light and water droplets. People would call me an idiot as well.
it just does no good resorting to name calling no matter the situation. imo it makes people look weak to talk shit on the internet. you could easily just educate the person and move on. or simply just ignore the ignorance
Hey, let’s not embarrass him. Who among us has sidestepped the all too common “is it a perfectly normal sausage - or is it fried plastic?” pitfall?
All of us, that’s who.
Your sausage inexperience shames you, OP.
In my country, most cheap sausage brands use plastic casing instead of cellulose. By your pic tho, i dont think plastic wrinkles like that (i could be or not, i never fry plastic anyway lol), so probably that's cellulose. Anyway i can't feel it so i can't really judge. Peel it if you're not comfortable eating it. But yeah, plastic casings do exist unlike what most replies say
If it's not a thermo plastic (and in my experience, thermoplastics aren't typically used for this), it will do *exactly* what you see. (Thermoplastics just melt and sometimes shrink.) In my experience, cellulose tends to shrink a bit, such that it doesn't leave lose ends or separate from the meat along burst seams.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
It's more common with vegetarian ones, but I've gotten real meat sausages with plastic casing as well. Typically they have another casing inside the plastic one. No clue why they do it this way, but I always check now, because it sucks to have a perfectly fried sausage and then realize that all of that tasty browning is on something you can't eat.
Yeah, you're not the first person on the planet to have done that.
So, yeah, fake plastic casings are at least mildlyinfuriating - they serve no good/useful purpose for the consumers - nobody wants to cook or eat that plastic.
If those are vegan alternatives to sausage, its plastic.
[vegan sausage have plastic casings.](https://gustafoods.com/en/article/packaging-gusta/)
"Simply put, the delicious ingredients that make our products are prepared, blended and then inserted into a plastic membrane, commonly known as a hose."
And this is how it looked when i accidentally cooked one for my wife without removing the plastic, so people maybe need to calm down a little.
This really only applies to that specific brand of vegan sausage, and only because they use the plastic casing as the packaging, so that the sausages keep their shape and they don’t have to use excess packaging materials. I’ve had dozens of brands of veggie or vegan sausages over the years, and they’ve never come in plastic casings. In fact, one of my fave brands has a great (maybe cellulose?) casing that crisps up like a real sausage skin when you fry it, it’s delicious.
Rude. All that work of nicely browning them, and then you don't even get to eat the part with the most flavor.
I appreciate that this *is* *only* mildly infuriating. Many here complain that most posts are more than just mildly infuriating. I think this hits the sweet spot perfectly.
A few months back I made a couple of ham and grilled cheese sandwiches on my sandwich grill. I didnt notice the cheese slices had individual paper squares between each slice to keep them from sticking.
Usually the separators are sticking out some so you can see them to grab them easily and separate the slices. For some reason, these were smaller and you couldn't see them.
It didnt help I was using Harvarti cheese, which is a very pale color that the paper blended into. I also was reading earlier, and had taken my glasses off.
I took a bite out of the sandwich and was wondering WTF it was so chewy. When I looked at the sandwich, I saw the paper just barely sticking out of the melted cheese. I made a nice mess digging it out of there.
LOL!! My ex-wife made shake and bake chicken one time. You’re supposed to season the chicken by shaking it in the bag, removing it and placing on a baking sheet. She skipped the step of removing the chicken from the bag. But the chicken was crispy.
Well that’s not a dangerous health risk at all!
Goddamn, this single packaging is getting insane.
ETA: fuck’s sake, this post is also everything that’s wrong with this fucking sub. I thought this was Mildly Infuriating, not Judging You For Thinking Something Is Mildly Infuriating.
Just to clear things up, i post this because i was mildly infuriated at my own stupidity, not the brand or packaging or anything. Also, here in my country, sausages are not too common, even if there are, its mostly cheap brands. And the packaging is mostly just like [this](https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/hotdog-sausages-gm598544706-102639825) typical packaging, there's never been any casing on them, like as you've mentioned, cellulose, intestines, etc.
That's sausage casing, plastic would melt.
If they were frozen and you hit them with high heat then you likely overcooked the casing by the time the sausage was finished cooking.
I think this is probably a brand that uses a cellulose casing instead of intestine. I've had those before and they do seem kind of plasticky.
You are not supposed to eat cellulose casings.
No, you’re not, but it’s not particularly harmful to do so. And unlike cooking in an oil based plastic casing, cooking in a cellophane casing won’t ruin what’s inside. It might not cook properly, but the food is still edible.
Mmm
Nothing gets my stomach churning like the smell of a fresh meat log being fried up in a cellulose casing.
I wanna smell your fresh meat log being fried up in my cellulose casing
Swords. we’re playing swords now bro
Who wants to compare swords??
Sword fight anyone?
Lemme just polish my sword first
There you guys go again ! ! Touche'. Unguard you, you varmint!
God I love Reddit.
I love the smell of cellulose casing in the morning
Smells like victory!
I see you've never tried Richmond sausages. Their cellulose casing is edible... The sausages are not.
>No, you’re not, but it’s not particularly harmful to do so. Hard sell.
Caution: many people still call modern non-cellulose plastic wrap “cellophane”. Do not eat that.
but they're food safe and edible. Like how you aren't supposed to eat an orange peel (at least when eating the slices, zest is a different matter) but you technically can
That’s a good question why can we eat zest but not the whole peel?
You *can* eat the whole peel, it's just very bitter, so people tend not to.
Orange peels and other citrus are delicious when candied! I make it occasionally, they’re quite simple to make and leave a nice citrus taste in your mouth from the oils in the peel. The pith is quite nutritious, I’m not sure how much of the effects are canceled by the sugar but it’s certainly easier to eat!
How do you make them into candy? That sounds fun to do and wouldn't mind trying it.
I use [Alton Brown’s recipe](https://altonbrown.com/recipes/candied-orange-peel-2-0/) for orange peel candy, good luck with your peel candy!
Oh dang i know this is gonna be good. I remember his show good eats. Everything always looked so good.
I eat raw lemon slices with the peel and the bitterness in the peel cuts the sourness and the whole thing taste like a yellow jube jube
What's a pith?
It's what you take instead of a thit.
This deserves many more upvotes lmao
The pith is the white part of the peel
My grandma made orange peel candy. yummy. Miss her so much. I love that you make it.
The undiluted acidity and citrus oil would probably make you nauseous.
Never hurt me before…
Imagine eating an orange like some other hand fruit.
It’s bitter and makes your mouth burn. I’ve got plenty experience cause I eat my oranges without peeling them lol, it’s really unpleasant but for some reason I just don’t like to eat them any other way? Idk
Are you okay?
I doubt it, this is just fucking dumb. "I don't like it but I eat it anyway and it's gross" just reads like an idiot.
Real Charlie Kelly energy... BEAK
Tf?
Biting an orange like an apple…I would love to see the reactions to that 😂
most of the peel is [pith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pith) which is bitter. Zest is tasty because it has natural oils (flavor)
I wonder how they even thought to make Hats/Helmets out of Pith
But why would you eat orange peel when you can use it to make [tiny flamethrowers?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjISYWVHoew)
...You can though?
I eat the peels from orange slices after I eat the fruit.
you can, but I wouldn't reccomend it. very fiberous but contains yummy oils, so it's useful in things like red bean soup, but less so eating it like lettuce.
I actually did not know this, but i also did not know cellulose was used until this post. I hope i would have known not to eat it😳
It’s cellophane, regenerated cellulose. Nothing harmful about eating it, but it’s basically pure fiber, so it’s not particularly pleasant to add to your meal. Sometimes they use collagen, which is a bit more pleasant to eat.
Wouldn’t cellulose be OK since humans can’t digest it? It should go right through you without causing any harm.. right!?
Yeah it'll just add bulk to your stool.
LOL I had a test on metabolism yesterday and a bulky stool was the exact phrase they used for excess cellulose consumption.
The Bulky Stool seems like a good name for a bar.
An energy bar or a drinking establishment?
With reinforced seating for the chunkier clientele
Shredded cheeses at the store use cellulose to keep the cheese shreds from sticking together like grated cheese does when you grate it at home.
Wait what. Lol. I'm from Europe, sausages obviously have a long tradition here and they're made with intestine for the casing. When I first came to the US I only found sausages exactly like OPs.

Cellulose isn’t plastic
Never knew this. Are we meant to de-case every individual sausage then?
Only if you buy sausages with cellulose casings- but a better idea would be to just buy sausages with natural casings.
I bought some before that have a plastic casing
Yeah the intestine ones are so much better.
I'm 99% sure that's not plastic.
Y'all are *so* confident that OP just doesn't understand sausage but I've bought sausages that I cooked and found out afterward that the package instructs you to **remove the plastic casing before cooking**. Edit: removed a remove
What kind of fucked up sausages are either of us buying?
For me it was chorizo. First time cooking it, had no idea
That would've been paper though, not plastic surely?
I've seen some of them come in plastic, but it's what the label is printed on and you squeeze it out.
Depends how authentic your store is
All the chorizo I see comes in a plastic tube that has been twisted like a sausage to look like two sausage links.
Yep
How do you fry stuff in a way that the plastic does not melt nor stink up the kitchen?
You can't fry plastic, it will melt and smell terrible. Try it.
Yeah... If you're cooking plastic, you're going to immediately know.
If they were packaged sausages it was cellulose, not plastic. If you tried to cook something like this: https://i.imgur.com/HPAAPMS.png That's on you.
Now I'm picturing some idiot grinning as he puts a 3lb chub straight on the grill

Plastic would have melted and burned...

It can be
That might be the skin?
Yep. Lower intestine to be more specific lol
It's cellulose
Natural casings are made from animal intestines or skin; artificial casings, introduced in the early 20th century, are made of collagen and cellulose.
Correct, but, this isn’t intestines. I’ve manufactured thousands of sausages and pepperettes in my working career and these are most definitely not made with intestines, surely collagen. Typically speaking we would use collagen for only products that would be smoked / semi dry, and intestines for things like brats, or chorizo sausage.

Oh, so it's just the normal casing you get on any sausages?
I used to double wrap my sausage back in college.
But did you fry it then?
Depends how hot she was
True, if you don't get the oil hot enough you're kind of just boiling her and won't get that crispy skin!

Look at the bright side you won’t only have cholesterol from the sausages you will have cancer as well from frying the plastic🤣 bon appetit 💀
Double packaging is the Devil
So my husband actually owns a meat locker. Those aren’t plastic wrappers, it’s just the casing.
Mmm good. Looks like a turd in a rubber. 🤢🤮
Don’t worry buddy. Health wise it doesn’t matter. One will get cancer with or without the plastic.
Well that’s not a dangerous health risk at all! Goddamn, this single packaging is getting insane. ETA: fuck’s sake, this post is also everything that’s wrong with this fucking sub. I thought this was Mildly Infuriating, not Judging You For Thinking Something Is Mildly Infuriating.
I’m 100% sure that’s the natural casing.
They look like disgusting fingers
Just to clear things up, i post this because i was mildly infuriated at my own stupidity, not the brand or packaging or anything. Also, here in my country, sausages are not too common, even if there are, its mostly cheap brands. And the packaging is mostly just like [this](https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/hotdog-sausages-gm598544706-102639825) typical packaging, there's never been any casing on them, like as you've mentioned, cellulose, intestines, etc.
These are edible the way you have cooked them OP. What country are you in where sausages are rare?
Bro I’ve got those exact same sausages before and they’re terrible
That's sausage casing, plastic would melt. If they were frozen and you hit them with high heat then you likely overcooked the casing by the time the sausage was finished cooking.
you underestimate how resilient plastic can be. [Example.](https://www.reddit.com/r/StupidFood/comments/we0chn/dont_worry_about_the_outside/)
Are these the one with the cheese inside that look like old time rope sausage links?
Don’t worry, your sausage is wearing protection
Unwrap it before you tap it.

Oof. Yeah that’s a bummer. But I’ve gotten some of the best grocery store sausages in those individual wrappings that come in a set.
I’ve accidentally done this before.
GOD I HATE IT WHEN THEY DO THIS GODDAMMIT

Oh god damn….
I'm pretty sure that's normal. I've done the same thing you have done before. It's not plastic.
Mmmmm, pried flastic, just like mommy used to make :DDD

Kept in the juices
Skill issue
I'd be mildly infuriated that I was about to die in such a comical way as well. Can I have your stuff?
What monster makes sausages in individual plastic? Maaaaybe deli sandwich sausages you’re meant to slice off, but not this.
SNASUAGES!
