So I bought five pounds of Jacob's andouille. It's much larger than the crap you buy in the grocery stores. And the casing is also much tougher. Do you remove this casing before cooking? Or do you leave it on and just cook it, becoming more tender as it simmers?

What do you want to do with it?
And how are you preparing it?

Artificial (Large) = Remove
Natural (small) = Cook with meat

I worked in the sausage manufacturing industry for 10 years and used to sell/deliver the meat Bailey's & Jacobs uses. Consider me a credible source

Re large being artificial....nope. Large hog casings are easily available and natural large intestine casings are used by smaller, more traditional places. Not all large diameter stuff is artificial. Still, I remove the casing on andouille...it can get leathery with the extended smoking the sausage receives.
