Casings are somewhat porous, and moisture can escape at only a slow rate. Cooking too fast overwhelms the porosity of the casing, causing a burst. This can happen with even large (5-inch in diameter) fibrous casings, which are among the strongest casings available anywhere. Please be careful to follow proper processing techniques, or call us for help if you are unsure.
