I have had callogen snack sticks that peel off and some have a nice snap to them when you bite into them.
How do you get the nice snap when you bite into them?
Don't know for sure but from my experience I get the nice bite (snap) when I smoke right after I stuff and keep them in the fridge. I have found that if they are put in a zip lock bag in the fridge they lose some of the snappiness as moisture builds up and make the casings loose. I have also found that if I vac seal them and freeze and if I don't get all of the air out they loose a bit of the snappiness. I get the loose casings if I stuff and then put the stuff links in the fridge overnight because the moisture is drawn out which makes the casings loose. These are my personal experiments and I no scientific proof.
I have found that I get the best results is to vac seal and put in the fridge and not freeze. They keep a long time that way. When I open a pack I put in a plastic jar with holes in the top and never had a loose casing. That's my story and I'm sticking to it :o
