Wannna Make Sausage? Here’s Where To Go
Whether it’s a grinder, casings or seasoning mixes, The Sausage Maker website is a great place for DIY’ers to start. But it’s also the place to shop if you want to make bacon, ham, beer, wine or cheese or preserve other foods. The family-owned business has been helping folks make their own sausage for more than 40 years. They build equipment at their Buffalo, N.Y., manufacturing plant with the same focus on quality that founder Rytek Kutas had when he started the business in 1978.
    The experienced sausage maker developed recipes and wrote books. When readers told him they couldn’t find casings and other ingredients, Kutas began selling supplies and making equipment.
    Krzysztof Stanuszek, CEO for the business, was left the company upon the founder’s passing in 1998.
    “We’re unique in our niche for being a sausage making company,” says Miroslaw Stanuszek, VP for the business. “What separates us is our manufacturing division. We are often the first manufacturer of a product, and then knock-offs are brought in from overseas. We build from the ground up.”
    The stainless steel grinders, smokers, slicers and other equipment are designed to last for generations. They come with a 3-year warranty, but the company has been known to replace parts and make repairs long after that.
    “About 90 percent of our customers were hunters, anglers and people who want self-sustainability. Now about 75 percent fit in that group and the rest are hobbyists and people who are concerned about preservatives,” Stanuszek says.
    The Sausage Maker sells a variety of spices and blends for sausage, jerky, rubs etc. that they mix themselves – without any preservatives. But their quarterly catalog also includes mixes from other companies.
    “Sausage is our mainstay. People find us for sausage. We have the largest selection of natural, collagen, fibrous, cellulose and even vegetarian casings,” Stanuszek says. “Among our best selling products are fermenting crocks for sauerkraut making. We are the biggest distributor of ceramic fermenting pots in the U.S. Also, fruit and wine presses are big sellers.”
    To view the many products The Sausage Maker sells, request a catalog or check out their website. In addition to product listings there are helpful links for how to make sausage and other preserved food.
