Setting Up the Sausage stuffer
• Clean the sausage stuffer before it comes into contact with any food. Wash all parts by hand and dry
thoroughly.
• Never set the sausage stuffer up on a hot surface or near an open flame.
• Be sure you have reviewed the parts diagram and parts list to confirm you have all the needed
parts. Keep packing material for future use.
• Your new vertical stuffer comes partially assembled. However, you need to complete a few steps
to be ready to begin stuffing your own sausage.
• Attach the handle to the stuffing frame by inserting the wing nut through the handle and into the
rear of the small horizontal gear. Turn the wing nut until tight.
• You can now turn the handle and actuate the piston. Turn the handle counter-clockwise so that
the center thread rod and piston moves to the top of the stuffing frame.
• Stuffing tubes attach to the cylinder by threading the tube through the ring lock and tightening the
ring lock onto the cylinder.
• With the center thread rod and the piston at the top of the stuffing frame, the cylinder can be
moved in and out of the base.
Using the Sausage stuffer
1. Before using stuffer, always spray the inside of the canister with a vegetable based cooking spray to
decrease friction.
2. When you are ready to start stuffing, remove cylinder from frame and fill with your favorite recipe
of ground meat. Slide cylinder back into frame.
3. Properly prepare casings as directed on casing packaging. Slip a casing over the end of the
stuffing tube until the entire length of the casing is on the stuffing tube. Twist or tie the end to
seal the casing.
4. By rotating the handle clockwise, you will move the piston down and force the sausage mixture
down and through the stuffing tube into the casing.
5. Hold the casing on the sausage tube in one hand and slowly let the meat output pull the casing
from the tube. Fill casing as desired by holding casing back on tube.
6. While extruding the sausage, hold the casing against the end of the stuffing tube to help pack the
sausage firmly into the casing. Twist or tie the sausage into links as desired. Tie end of casing
into a knot.
7. Repeat this procedure until you have completed your sausages.
8. It is recommended that two people perform sausage stuffing.
9. Add small amounts of water to your ground meat when stuffing sausage to improve output of meat
through sausage stuffing tube.
