At the first stage of cooking, we will salt the meat. Therefore, let's start by boiling the brine, it will need to be allowed to cool to room temperature. For brine, put salt, allspice and cloves in 1 liter of water. Bring to a boil, cook for five minutes and turn off. Cool down.
If you bought meat with a bone, it must be cut as carefully as possible so that you have an even piece of meat.
In order for the meat to be better salted, and as a result, homemade pork ham was juicy - we will inject brine. We take a syringe (10 cubes), draw brine into it and begin to inject the meat from all sides, pouring about 1/5 of the contents of the syringe at a time.
We tie the pricked meat with culinary thread or twine, or even ordinary threads folded in several layers, giving it a neat shape.
Pour the remaining brine after injection into a container of sufficient size so that you can immerse the meat in it.
We remove the pork in the refrigerator. Ham should be salted at home for three days. During this time, we periodically turn it from side to side, from side to side.
After three days, we proceed to the next stage - cooking. We take a large saucepan, pour enough water into it so that it completely covers the meat. This is the most difficult stage and its complexity lies in the fact that when cooking pork ham at home, it is imperative to maintain a certain temperature of the water in which the meat is cooked. Of course, it is convenient to do this with a thermometer. Now I will first tell you how to cook with it, and then I will make a digression and tell you what to do if you want homemade ham, but there is no thermometer.
Bring the water in the pot to 80°C.
We put meat in it.
The temperature naturally drops. We lower the thermometer probe into the water, but not to the very bottom, approximately to the lower third of the container, and wait for the temperature to rise.
An important nuance! You need to cook ham at home at a temperature of 77-80 ° C. It is very important! At this temperature, the protein coagulates and the meat WILL NOT BE RAW, but it will remain juicy. Get the so-called ham "with a tear."
The temperature will fluctuate. Your task is not to go far and control it.
Now, as promised, how to cook without a thermometer. Naturally, everything is very, very relative, but we are not doing physical experiments here, but we are cooking ham, so an error of 5-7 ° C is not fatal for us. Look at the bottom of the pot as the water begins to boil. The first small bubbles appeared - the size of the "crab eye" - the water temperature is about 70 ° C. The boiling noise increased and the bubbles became larger, now their fisheye size is about 80°C. Put in the meat. Wait for the formation of the same "fish eye" again and, by adjusting the heating of the burner, maintain this state of the water.
As for time. Taking 1 kg of pork as a standard, we cook it for 50 minutes to get ham at home. Accordingly, we cook 1.5 kg for 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes), 2 kg - 100 minutes (1 hour and 40 minutes), etc. In general, consider yourself.
After the time has elapsed, we take out the ham and immediately put it in cold water for half an hour to stop cooking. Then take it out and put it in the refrigerator.
Patience and more patience. Homemade ham needs to rest and mature. Therefore endure the night (8 hours). And then we take, cut off a juicy slice and enjoy its taste.
An important nuance! Home-cooked ham will have a greyish pink color, unlike store-bought pink ham. This does not mean that you have digested it. Pink color of all meat products such as ham, carbonate, etc. is maintained (or created) by the addition of sodium nitrite. That's it.
Bon appetit!
Cooking time - 7 hours.
Today we will tell you how not to play the lottery with your own health. We will teach you how to cook homemade ham! It turns out it's quite easy. You only need one device - a ham maker.
The device of the accessory is quite simple - it consists of a cylinder and two round plates, which are pulled together inside the cylinder with the help of three springs.
The meat during cooking is pressed under the pressure of the springs, resulting in a dense meat product.
With it, you can cook at home:
The device completely frees you from buying meat products of incomprehensible quality in the store. With it, you yourself control the composition and taste of sausages.
Ingredients
Procedure
Pork trimmings - the meat is not of the best quality. But for our needs, more is not required.
We wash the meat, cut it into small pieces (1 * 1 cm) and put it in a separate dish. If we want to get a denser ham, half of the cubes must be scrolled through a meat grinder and mixed with the rest.
We use seasonings. In our case, this is salt and a mixture of crushed peppers. But in general, it all depends on your imagination and taste preferences. You can use onion, garlic and other ingredients. We will limit ourselves to salting and the use of peppers.
We take salt 2% by weight of meat, peppers - about 50 g. Mix. Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to ripen.
The finished charged projectile remains to be thoroughly boiled. We put the ham in a pot of water and start heating.
We heat the water to 70 ° C, wait 1 hour. Then we increase the power and, with a light boil, cook for 2 hours.
Similarly, you can cook ham in the oven. You just need to put the projectile loaded with meat in the oven for 1.5 hours. Bake at 180°C.
Want to get safe and tasty homemade ham? Then use only factory-made food grade stainless steel hams. They do not rust, do not interact with the product and are completely safe for health.
Homemade pork ham according to this recipe is prepared quite quickly, that is, a day. Usually, it takes a little longer to cook homemade ham, but there is a way to reduce the time spent (with a very small loss in quality, which, however, is almost not noticeable). The ham turns out to be smoked-boiled both in color and in taste. At the same time, it is prepared without stabilizers, chemical additives - only natural products and seasonings. I advise you to stock up on a kitchen thermometer, but if this is problematic, then I will explain how to do without it. By the way, a kitchen timer will also not be superfluous.
We cut the chilled pork into pieces weighing about 500 g (it is so convenient to cook meat in a small saucepan). I made ham from lean brisket with skin, you can take a ham. It is important that there are layers of fat, it will be tastier with it. Even if you do not like fatty meat, you have to accept: fat in this case is a necessary component of success.
Put the meat in a small saucepan with thick walls. I cook in a deep brazier - it closes tightly, the water from it evaporates slowly, and the temperature inside is fairly stable.
Pour salt without additives. If there are no scales, then for a piece of meat weighing about a kilogram, you need 4 tablespoons without a slide of coarse table salt.
Let's give the "smoked" color to pork with the help of turmeric and onion peel - no "liquid smoke" and other chemicals! Natural products will give the meat an appetizing golden-brown hue of smoked meats.
To add flavor to the brine, add spices - cumin, coriander and bay leaf. Spices (except lavrushka) are pre-fried in a dry frying pan until the first haze appears and roughly crushed in a mortar.
Next, pour about 1 liter of cold water into the pan, mix, leave for 3-4 hours at room temperature. During this time, the brine will be absorbed into the meat a little. Ideally, the ham is pricked with a saline solution using a special syringe.
Then we put the pan on the stove, bring it to a temperature of 80-85 degrees Celsius over low heat. Nothing should boil! If there is no kitchen thermometer, then determining the desired heating is also not difficult. When white steam forms over the water, and the first “bulbs” appear, reduce the temperature to a minimum and cook the meat for 2.5 hours.
Periodically we look into the pan, and if suddenly the water boils, add a little bit of cold water.
Then remove the meat from the stove and leave in the brine. When it cools to room temperature, put it in the refrigerator compartment on the bottom shelf for a day.
Ready homemade ham can be sprinkled with paprika, wrapped in parchment and stored in the refrigerator for several days.

Attention, only TODAY!
Previously, ham was called pork ham, which was soaked in brine, smoked and left to reach for several weeks. Since then, the process has been greatly automated and simplified. Humanity has received a beautiful pink ham of perfect shape. However, if you dig deeper, the ham will reveal phosphates, nitrites, color fixatives, transglutaminase (it connects meat trimmings together) and saltpeter.
Those who think about the health of their family are switching to home-made delicacy. The ham will help with this.
A ham maker is a small mold made of stainless steel or food-grade plastic. The mold with the help of springs compacts the components of your dish into a single whole during the cooking or baking process. This is how ham and some rolls are created. Under pressure, the meat languishes at a temperature of about 80 degrees, releasing the juice in a natural way, endowing the homemade ham with excellent taste.
That is why a ham maker is often used in tandem with a slow cooker or air grill, because they maintain a constant temperature according to a given program. You can also cook in a ham maker using a conventional electric oven and even a saucepan.
With such an assistant at hand, you can cook not only classic ham, but also sausages, boiled pork, fish dishes and even terrine (baked pate). Mushrooms, olives, vegetables, herbs, spices - everything that your imagination tells you can be used in the cooking process.
