Claims17
A method of producing sausages, comprising the steps of:
- partially cooking an encased sausage to a temperature between 125° F. and 145° F.;
- hot peeling the casing from the partially cooked sausage wherein the sausage is at a temperature of between 100° F. and 140° F.;
- packaging the peeled sausage;
- and
- finishing the cooking of the peeled sausage inside the packaging with intermittent cooking;
- wherein the peeled sausages are vacuum packed into the packaging prior to cooking.

A method of producing sausages, comprising the steps of:
- heating an encased sausage to a temperature between 125° F. and 145° F. to coagulate the proteins in the sausage to make the sausage sufficiently rigid to withstand a peeling process such that the sausage is partially cooked;
- shocking the sausage so that the casing loosens from the sausage;
- introducing the sausage into a peeler and removing the casing from the sausage when the encased, partially cooked sausages are at a temperature of between 100° F. and 140° F. during peeling;
- packaging the sausage;
- and
- cooking the packaged peeled sausage to microbial lethality with intermittent cooking.
