Looking for sausage casings I just bumped into a supplier for high temperature cheese in cheddar and 2 other types as a sausage additive. Mix and case it with your sausage meat after grinding. Only melts above 400 degrees? Anybody ever use that?

[Bentley]

No.

Would never get to a melting temperature.  I wonder what would possess a company to make the melting point so high?

[Queball]

That's what I was thinking. And what would it be like in your body if you consumed it. Maybe I need to go back and read that again. Just doesn't seem right.

[Bobitis]

Never heard of cheddar going that high.

There are plenty of other 'hard' cheeses that likely would.

I've seen it here and there, but never tried it. I don't grill my sausages on high. I would think that would be the only circumstance that it would come in handy. Direct flame grilling, burgers, brats, etc.

I'm a cheese-a-holic, and that just goes against everything I value about cheese. It's creepy beyond the pale.

What does one have to do to create this monster? I can only assume it's chemically modified as any natural production would never obtain that result.

We use it all the time for making things like Taco Brats, Packer Brats(cheddar and jalapeño) Badger Brats(red pepper and mozzarella) Philly cheesesteak Brats, deluxe italian sausage with pepper and mozzarella, beef sticks with pepper jack, cheddar polish sausage, Beef Brats with blue cheese., etc.   There is a local butcher shop that usually has about 8 different varieties in stock.     It works really well for both fresh and smoked sausage.

[Bentley]

I was thinking IT, they are talking pit temperature right?

OC,
What is the texture of it like? Is real rubbery? Does it dissolve in your mouth?

Not rubbery at all, in a grilled sausage it is melty and soft, in smoked sausage like summer sausage or beef sticks it has the same texture as regular cheese to me, not waxy or rubbery.
