Sausage Stuffers

What is a sausage stuffer?

Sausages are an age-old meat product with countless flavours and varieties. However, making sausages by hand can be a difficult and time-consuming task. With a sausage stuffer, you can literally and figuratively give it your own twist. A sausage stuffer or sausage maker is a device with a reservoir, a filling tube and a pressure plate. It can be operated either manually or electrically.

Simply put the ground meat (or fish) into the reservoir, along with any seasoning mixes. The pressure plate pushes the meat into the filling tube. The casing of the sausage is pushed over this filling tube. These are usually made from animal intestines or artificial casings, both which can be filled with ease. When the sausage is sufficiently filled, turn it a few times and continue filling the next sausage. It has never been so easy to make a sausage!

For an easy finishing touch, Maxima also has a sausage clipper that will seal the ends of the sausage with the same amount of ease.

What different types of sausage stuffers are there?

There are two types of sausage stuffers, depending on how they lie: either a horizontal model or a vertical one. The one you choose really only depends on which you find more comfortable to work with. A horizontal sausage filler will take up more counterspace, but you can still put it on your countertop, even if there is a cupboard above it.

The vertical sausage stuffer requires height to be able to fit, although it does take up less space on your workspace. Neither of these makes a difference in terms of practicality, as both have a tiltable cylinder. So you can always fill and clean them easily. You also have the choice between an electric sausage stuffer and a manual model. The electric sausage filler is operated with a foot pedal, leaving both hands free to twist the sausage. With the manual model, you operate the machine using a crank.

How do you use a sausage stuffer?

Simply screw the right sized tube filler on the sausage stuffer to get started right away. Each model of sausage stuffer comes with four different sizes of filling pipes. These determine the thickness of the sausage. The reservoir and filling tube can be tilted towards you and filled with the ingredients you want to make your sausage with. The casing for your sausage is pushed all the way over the filling pipe. Hold this firmly in place when you start.

With a manual sausage stuffer, turn the crank to lower the pressure plate into the reservoir. This is how you will push the meat in the reservoir out through the filler pipe. With your other hand, you support the sausage at the end of the filling pipe. Make sure that as little air as possible enters the casing while filling the sausage. Fill the casing as tightly as possible, but not so tightly that you cannot twist the casing to form separate sausages. The automatic sausage stuffer works the same way, but here you do not have to turn it by hand, but you push the meat out with an electric foot pedal.

TIP: Seasoning meat is much easier with a meat mixer and don't forget to grind it finely using a meat mincer.

How do you clean a sausage stuffer?

It goes without saying that a sausage stuffer should be cleaned properly after every use. The reservoir and the filler pipe come into direct contact with meat or fish and, of course, there is always leftover food residue. Fortunately, the Maxima sausage stuffers are very easy to clean. The parts such as the reservoir and the filler pipe can be removed. These parts are made from stainless steel and can be washed in the dishwasher. It is important to clean the pressure plate with a disinfectant. When all parts are clean, you can reassemble the sausage stuffer ready to be used again.
