Video recipe " Homemade ham"

Enjoy cooking and be healthy!

Always yours, Alena Tereshina.

Hello! You don't need to buy ham for the New Year if you have the desire and opportunity to make it yourself at home. And it's not as difficult as you think - you just need to start preparing it in advance - 3-4 days before you put your own homemade ham on the table. In general, by and large, it can be noted that the problem is that it is easy to cook ham, but for a long time - your pickled pork meat should stand under pressure in a special marinade for at least 3 days.

But is this a question for a prudent owner or hostess? Of course not, therefore - here's a ham at home and a recipe for it: here is not only a photo of the ham, but also a video describing its preparation. Use it to your health! And by the way, you don't need any other products other than meat, except for bay leaves and black peppercorns.

To cook the ham at home, use a ham with lard or a neck.

1. Pork - 1 kg;
2. Also prepare a dish of brisket or shoulder blade. From the brisket, the ham will be fat, and from the shoulder blade, the ham will be lean. Therefore, the best way out is to mix different meats;
3. Salt - take three tablespoons into a two-liter pan of marinade;
4. Bay leaves - 4-5 pcs;
5. Black peppercorns - 20-30 pcs.

Prepare the marinade for boiling the ham and marinate the meat

1. Pour 1.5 liters of water into a saucepan, add salt, pepper and bay leaf. After boiling, cook the spices for 2-3 minutes, and turn off the heat, let the marinade cool;
2. While the marinade is preparing, rinse the meat, let it drain;
3. When the marinade has cooled, use any syringe (2 ml, 5 ml) to chop the meat on all sides. Just draw the marinade into a syringe, and drive the needle into a different place in the piece of meat each time, and to a different depth. I did about 10 injections;
4. Now put the meat in the remaining marinade (you do not need to take out the bay leaf and pepper), press it down with some kind of press, and send it to a cold place for 3 days. To make the future ham thoroughly salted and soaked in the taste of seasonings, turn it over every day.

In general, it is easy to cook ham at home, it just seems that too much will have to be done, but for a real chef this is not a hindrance.

1. The meat was sufficiently marinated and compressed in three days. Now wrap it in plastic wrap and send it back to the same marinade - cook;
2. You can not use cling film, but tightly tie the ham with twine, but it is better to dilute the marinade with plain unsalted water, or boil the meat in new water, salt it to your liking;
3. The meat should be cooked for 2.5-3 hours. A little secret for cooking ham: the water should never boil - bring it to 80-85 0 С, and keep the temperature at this level all the time while the meat is being cooked. It's not difficult - just add cold water to the pot periodically;
4. At the end of cooking, cool the finished ham in cold water and, without unrolling the film, let it cool to room temperature, then put it in the refrigerator until it cools completely and acquires a non-crumbling shape.

As you can see, the recipe is simple, but it will take a long time to cook homemade pork ham. But it's worth it! Bon appetit, everyone!

So, as you can see, the ham at home has been successfully prepared with you, it remains to treat your family and friends so that they will appreciate your culinary talent. In the next recipe I'll share with you one of my favorite recipes, The Real One, Don't Miss Out.

Description

Pork ham is a delicious and very simple dish that even the most inexperienced housewife can handle with her own hands. A detailed recipe with step-by-step photos will help you understand the intricacies, and also clearly show all the secrets of getting a great ham at home.
The high calorie content of the product makes it possible to quickly get full of it. Homemade ham is a great snack on the road or to work, a nutritious protein breakfast, or simply a delicious snack to go anytime.

Chopped ham prepared according to this recipe will appeal to all your household members. Pepper stripes will make it marbled, and gelatin will help keep it in shape, even if it stays warm for a while. Unlike shop counterparts, this ham will be completely natural and safe.
Cooking ham with bell peppers is a very interesting experience. The process is simple and consists in the fact that the meat preparation, aged in the marinade with spices, is boiled for a certain time, and then it is allowed to rest under the press or hung out for fermentation. Heat treatment of ham, namely cooking, can be done both in a saucepan or multicooker, and in the oven by filling a deep baking sheet with the ham placed in it with water. The taste of the product will not change from the choice of the fixture.
The product is most often prepared from chicken and turkey, as well as assorted, combining, for example, pork with beef. You can make a whole piece of ham, or you can make it out of small pieces in a ham maker. But it doesn't matter if you don't have this device, because you can use a regular plastic bag instead. Of course, a ham product will look more flavorful than one cooked in cellophane.
After a little thought, we decided to conduct an experiment. And it turned out to be more than successful. Therefore, we recommend that you do exactly as we did: filled a milk tetrapak with meat, foil on the inside and cardboard on the outside. What happened as a result, you will see in the steps of preparation.

Ingredients

Pork ham - recipe

To make the ham, prepare the pork meat first. It must be fresh and oily for the product to be tender. Do not add lard, it is enough to choose a suitable piece corresponding to the characteristics: the part of the back or the back part closer to the spine.

The best choice for housewives will be a piece of pork, like the one shown in the photo. Rinse it in cold water and pat dry with disposable towels.

Cut the pork into strips. Place the meat in a deep bowl, which is convenient for you to stir it.

Cut the milk bag as shown in the photo. After that, rinse it in warm water with the addition of baking soda and rinse thoroughly in plenty of running water. Turn it upside down and let the water drain.

Prepare the spices indicated in the recipe. Sprinkle the meat with them and gelatin, and then mix the workpiece well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the pork marinate for a few minutes. Pick out a couple of sweet peppers. Rinse them thoroughly in running water, blot with napkins, and then remove the seeds and stalk.

Cut the peppers into strips like in the photo.

Fill the tetrapak one-third with the meat.

Place strips of pepper on top of the meat. Make sure that the pepper is stacked a centimeter deep into the product so that the finished ham does not crumble when slicing.

Alternate layers. Pork should be on top. We got three layers of meat and two layers of pepper between them. Place the food tightly so that the cooked ham has a uniform structure when sliced.

Close the tetrapack with a "lid" and then wrap it with cling film, as shown in the photo.

Prepare a container the size of which will allow the "bar" to sink to the very bottom. Place the workpiece in a saucepan and fill it with hot water. Place the pot on the stove, heat the water to 90 degrees and maintain this temperature for four hours. During this time, the ham is completely warmed up. We recommend turning the bag over to the opposite side after two hours. This will allow the food to warm up evenly inside.

After the time has elapsed, carefully drain the hot water into the sink and remove the finished food from the pan. Cool it without unpacking on the table for half an hour. Then place the ham in a wide-brimmed bowl. Then place a suitable cutting board on top of it. Press down on the ham in the bag with a weight that is five times the weight of the food. In our case, this is a five-liter eggplant of water. Move the ham to a cool place for four hours.

To make such a dish with your own hands, you should know not only step-by-step recommendations for preparing a meat product, but also have a special device available.

Details about what a ham maker is

Mold is called a mold, which consists of the following elements:

• a flask-shaped body with holes (it can be metal or plastic);
• two removable lids, between which the raw materials are placed (for example, minced meat);
• springs (their number may be different, depending on the company of the device).

So how is ham cooked in a ham maker? The recipe for such a product is very often described in the collection that is attached to the kitchen device. Also, manufacturers add a thermometer, baking bags and instructions for use to the complete set of this device.

Design features

Ham in a ham maker necessarily indicate the required amount of adaptation. The required weight for almost all models of this device is 1.5-2 kg. In this case, the output of the finished dish is 1-1.5 kg.

An exception to the rule is the Biowin ham. As you know, it is designed for 3 kg of meat product.

Algorithm

What needs to be done to make a delicious homemade ham? The recipe implemented in the ham maker requires strict adherence to the following algorithm:

• choose a cooking method;

• expose (for example, in an airfryer, multicooker, oven or ordinary saucepan).

Stick to this algorithm, and you will definitely get a delicious and aromatic homemade ham in a ham maker.

Meat recipes (at home)

Dishes cooked with your own hands turn out to be much more nutritious and tastier than those sold in stores and various cafes. This also applies to products such as ham. We will tell you how to cook it at home using a special device right now.

So what ingredients do you need to make a delicious and flavorful ham?

The recipe implemented in the ham maker requires the use of the following products:

• homemade minced meat made from beef, bacon and pork - about 900 g;
• minced broiler poultry (preferably from breasts) - about 500 g;
• chicken eggs - 2 pcs.;
• onion - 2 heads;
• instant gelatin - about 20 g;
• aromatic spices - use according to your taste (you can take black ground pepper, ground coriander and paprika, dried garlic);
• sea ​​salt - at your discretion.

Preparation of the meat base (from minced meat)

How is ham made in a ham maker? Photo recipes require only mixed homemade minced meat. Only in this case you will receive a delicious and tender meat product that will be appreciated by all invited guests.

To prepare the dish in question, you need to make a base. Mixed pork and beef are combined with chicken, then finely chopped bacon is added to it. This ingredient is used to make the final product as juicy as possible.

Having prepared a fragrant base, finely chopped onions, sea salt, lightly beaten chicken eggs and various spices are added to it in turn. Next, instant gelatin is dissolved in a small amount of warm water. After that, the resulting mass is heated over low heat (not boiling) and added to the prepared minced meat.

All of these components are mixed well until a homogeneous and rather viscous mass is obtained.

Ham shaping process

How is the ham formed? The recipe implemented in the ham maker requires adherence to all the recommendations presented in the instructions for use. Despite the seeming complexity, such a dish is made quite quickly and easily.

As soon as the meat base is prepared, they immediately begin to collect the kitchen device.

The bowl of the fixture used is carefully covered with a baking sleeve. Next, pre-prepared minced meat is placed in it and thoroughly tamped (with hands or with a special crush).

After the described actions, the sleeve is tightly tied with threads. Several small punctures are also made in it. In the future, all the steam will escape through these holes.

At the very end, the filled ham dish is covered with a lid, after which the springs are tightened.

Heat treatment of meat products (on the stove)

You can cook homemade ham in such a device as a ham maker in the oven, in a slow cooker, and on the stove. We decided to use the latter option. For this, the filled device is placed in a saucepan with cold water, and then put on medium heat. If the liquid covers only half of the ham, then after 60 minutes it should be turned over to the other side so that the product is completely cooked.

Thus, homemade ham in a saucepan of boiling water should cook for about two hours (at least).

How to properly serve at the dinner table?

Having prepared a fragrant ham at home using a device such as a ham, it is carefully removed from the boiling water, and then left to cool.

After a while, the device is opened. A culinary sleeve with a cooked meat product is removed from it. Next, the dish is placed in a refrigerator. After the ham has hardened, the sleeve is removed, and the product itself is cut into not very thick circles and served for dinner along with a slice of bread.

Turkey ham in a ham maker: recipe

Above, we described how to cook homemade ham using a kitchen device - a ham maker. It should be especially noted that using the same algorithm, you can make a dish using minced turkey. As you know, such meat has a special tenderness and low calorie content. Therefore, it can be used for making diet ham.

Cook should not be for two hours, as mentioned above, but for 60-75 minutes. This time should be enough for the poultry meat to be completely cooked and set in the ham maker, forming a tasty and nutritious snack product.

Let's summarize

Now you know that it is very easy and simple to prepare homemade ham in such a device as a ham maker. Follow all the recommendations and requirements of the presented recipes, and you will definitely get a fragrant and tasty product.
