Are these casings acceptable for diners who keep kosher and do not eat pork?

Doubtful that these are kosher. Collagen casings are derived from protien from either beef or pork. These are not certified kosher.

I do not think so with the exception of the hot-dog casings. http://www.lemproducts.com/casinginfo

These casings are made from collagen, which is a protein. I have made a lot of kosher beef sausage and I have always used these casings. The great thing about these casings are they peel off very nicely if you don't want them on after cooking.

The first line of description about these casings says: "Edible collagen casings made of beef protein." Not sure if they are Kosher certified as to my knowledge the concept of Kosher and Halal goes beyond just the origin of an edible item and neither it was mentioned on the packaging. If, on the other hand, by Kosher you mean they are not pork protein based, then yes! They are beef protein based.

I would strongly advise against it altho' I've never tried----they are after all advertised as nuke and oven safe and I've not encountered any problems when using them in eithercheersbob

I'd say no. 1) these are narrower than you would use for capicola (these are the right size for kielbasa or brats), and 2) you may need a fibrous casing for capicola depending on the recipe you are using. I have never made capicola but I imagine you follow the same process as salami which requires fermenting and a fibrous casing

I don't know if this product contains pork derivatives. The label does not identify the collagen source and there is no "kosher" marking on the box. I would recommend writing to the company.

These were a present for my son, so I haven't used them. Since smoking is usually at fairly low temperatures, I am assuming that being close to the meat or even bumping it wouldn't burn the skin.

They are oven safe. I don't think id use it in that manner though. In a pinch it might do I guess.

These will work just dandy. I've used them for brats as well as humongous hot dogs. Love them! You can't beat the snap and crunch of natural casings when you take a bite.

There is nothing on the back of the package. They are just natural hog casings and are packed in salt that has to be washed off before you use them. My husband makes a lot of sausage using bear and elk and these are our preferred casings. They make a collogan (or fibrous) casing but we do not like it as well as these. If you get the fibrous casings you have to remove them before eating. Hope this helps.

I think they would be. I use a masher for meatloaf or potatoes with them. They are sturdy, like glass casserole dishes, not delicate like wine glasses...

no, these are hog intestine. synthetic are for vegetarians. natural casing comes from animal.

By initial investigation I see that there is no pork products used. Lanolin found in the capsule itself and the capsule being made by beef. So I would say it is probably safe to state that this is Kosher. You're biggest issue is they may be manufactured in a warehouse that does infact work with pork products. So maybe an email to the manufacture is in order.

There are no kosher symbols on the package. They are made of tapioca, rice, water,salt.

I dont know if theyre kosher or not. Theyre made by Necco so you might want to call tham.

I don't see anything indicating this product is Kosher. While the product is Organic, that only means the growing practice. It says nothing about the handling and processing of the product. As a result, I would say, without the formal certification, that this product is not Kosher.

Yes they are. However they are light weight and very shallow. I don't recommend if you are a serious cook. They are fine for bacon, eggs, and the such. Good Luck!

NO. They are great even to use in cooking when a larger quantity would go to waste. Would highly recommend!

Sorry, but I have no idea. If possible, direct your question to the seller. The website ohnuts.com does sell kosher items. I have had good experiences with them. Sue
