Many people prefer to make their own sausages because this allows them to monitor the ingredients for quality and to use more exotic flavorings such as sun-dried tomatoes or roasted peppers.
Use these lightweight plastic tubes to stuff your home-ground meats into natural casings for hand-made sausages. The small tube shoots out breakfast-sausage-size links; the larger one is great for boudin blanc, Italian sausage, and more. Each works in conjunction with KitchenAid's food grinder attachment, and the set comes with instructions for handling and stuffing casings. Tubes are dishwasher-safe. --Betsy Danheim

Not That Difficult To Use:
I purchased this to make venison sausage. I found it fairly simple to use with only a few draw backs. First two people make the job a lot easier, one to manage the meat going in and one to manage the sausage coming out. I would not attempt this alone. Second, as reviewed, the plastic dowel provided to push the meat into the grinder is not ideal. With the casing on the tube, there is a suction issue, and you seem to pull as much meat out as you push in. We solved this by using a wooden straight sided dowel... more info
Value for money but not great:
First, for the price this must be the best sausage stuffer available. But, it is not easy to or fast.

It took me longer to stuff the sausages using this product than it did to measure the ingredients and grind it in the first place. I also would have preferred the tubes to be a few inches longer so that they could hold a greater length of... more info
Nice addition:
I made sausage for the first time the other day. It turned out terrific. This product made stuffing the sausage casings very easy. It takes about 15 seconds to stuff a large sausage link, so it moves rather smoothly. The height is tricky however, and takes a minute to adjust to. All you have to do is elevate a bowl beneath the attachment and presto, problem solved.
Stuff It!:
