Huge Mistakes Everyone Makes When Cooking Ham

[@MashedFood]

Do you know any tips or tricks for cooking the perfect ham?

[@doit10]

Yes

[@ianfrederickson]

Yes. start with an uncooked/cured/smoked leg of a pig. Maybe start at the beginning?

[@beverlydixon5240]

Use whole cloves and brown sugar for your glaze.

[@bethanyward7189]

banshee says flame grill it

[@richardwhiting1480]

@@beverlydixon5240 I bought a boneless smoked ham, cut cross-hatches in it and inserted whole cloves and packed with brown sugar. Baked low and slow. Very disappointed that the clove flavor did not penetrate very far into ham. What did I do wrong ???

[@truthhurts8312]

I bought a double glazed ham from Aldi and actually decided to use the additional glaze packet. It was the best ham we ever had, and the cheapest.

[@firstnamelastname6193]

yea, sounds like this snob has servants to do her shopping and maybe even someone to cook her holiday ham while she guzzles down a few bottles of wine while shopping online

[@lynnestamey7272]

My Mom used to bake our hams in brown paper bags, low and slow. It was delicious and not dried out at all.

[@timsmith2430]

As a former caterer and butcher ( I break down livestock, not run meat thru a saw ) Buy Sugardale or John Morrell hams. Nowadays Sugardale are cryovac for shelf life, but with 16 oz. of ginger ale or 7up, (Brits and Irish call it Lemonade), it will pull in the flavors of ginger and sweet. The John Morrell is my fav, Skin and fat on. I watched in horror as all these TV chef's chop off the fat and flavor! Down South they would be hung for sheer stupidity,, I am amazed they have TV shows! Get a roaster and set at 275 f, the ham should be room temp, and the roaster has to lift out rack with your lemonade or ginger, flavors. Cook 7 min. per lbs.It is already smoked and at room temp! Let it rest 20 min and then enjoy. I just cook one and it was phenomenal!

[@funnyman658]

I’m British, 7up is a brand name and it is a lemonade, just like sprite. Hope this helps you sleep at night lol

[@risinggael1685]

In ireland we got red lemonade along with white and as the other lad said we also have 7 up and sprite...just not ginger ale...

[@fortyniner3071]

Sugar dale bone in ham with brown sugar glaze and cloves is the most delicious and old fashioned ham to be had.

[@greghunt7724]

This video is right about bone in. I hate spiral hams though. I also score my hams myself with a box cutter I use only in the kitchen for that specific purpose. I also after the 1st hour of slow cooking pull the rind of where I scored it then put my next coating on it myself. A ham is not hard to cook.

[@pharaohsmagician8329]

Thank you. Is Ham healthy to eat often? Or just a special occasion kind of thing. I don't think I've ever had any but am going to learn how to cook it.

[@mamawfrancy]

@@pharaohsmagician8329 As a senior I eat in moderation... and if I eat two days in a row it makes my ankles swell. Too much salt intake is not good for anyone!

[@426superbee4]

I bought a boneless ham, smoke rotisserie with foil around it. when it was about done took the foil off and based it with LOG CABIN SYRUP until nice and golden brown. For a extra touch i sprinkle lightly with cinnamon, Jalapeno powder OMG YUM This is going to be the only way i'am cooking a ham>> The pancake syrup was excellent on it

[@luismari7086]

i boil my ham in a liquid of juices sugars fruits beer and spices for 30 min then bake it slow while basting every 15 min for a sticky moist sweet ham with the sauce on the side

[@mamawfrancy]

We've been buying 'Superior Tavern Whole Boneless Ham' for over 25 yrs... tasty ham goodness! I wrap ham tightly in heavy duty foil & bake for an add'l 3.5 - 4 hrs to assure its tenderness. After baking open up foil & let it set for an hr & we use an electric knife to slice. Why change anything if it isn't broken?

[@michaelconrad4445]

Very informative. Thanks

[@torimallory9499]

I love your channel and videos😍

[@petem6354]

You get the very best flavour by pre-boiling the ham, not baking. Boil in cider with chopped onions, carrots, leeks, bay leaves and cracked pepper. Then . . . remove the skin, stud with cloves, cover in a delicious honey glaze and bake at a highish heat for 30-40 mins. Honestly, no decent tips at all in this video, and too much unemotional 'do this, do that'.

You buy the meat joint as a 'gammon'. Cooking it turns it into a 'ham'!

[@426superbee4]

Well yes and no. I look for deals. on meats. Lot of times rather than brand names. i'am trying new brand. I can even take a lemon, and make it into a apple he hee Just taste it! With what ever you think it would be good. if its honey, pancake syrup, pineapples, oranges, what ever make it taste best, IN THIS CASE i didn't want brown sugar, honey, ect. I tried it with pancake syrup, it tasted AWESOME ! So that what i used. Don't limit yourself to 1 way only! TRY OTHER THINGS, Next time i'am going to try ROOTBEER ! That right rootbeer ham!

Michael robert: Not so, ham is a cut of meat. Traditionally it is smoked or cured. Still needs to be cooked. Modern processor pre-cooks so that todays lazy homemaker only needs to heat and serve. Totally misses the complex flavor profiles of a great traditionally prepared ham. Buy a proper ham directly from your meat purveyors. You and your family will be glad you did!

[@brianofireland148]

Well folks dhow this is a an ok sort of video please be aware. While the narrator may be British and have a British accent .All the temperatures recommended are in the Fahrenheit (°F) range Where as in England they use Celsius (°C) the internal temperature of 143 F is the equivalent of 61.6667 Celsius (°C) But please be advised for an uncooked ham the recommendations are 63°C or if you are in America where they use the Fahrenheit scale that would be 145°F for the internal temperature . A cooked ham the recommended internal temperature is 140°F or 60°C So going 145°F or 63°C on a cooked ham you will be over cooking it. Now as the only countries that officially use Fahrenheit as a unit for measuring temperature is the United States, the Liberia and the Cayman Islands. Other parts of the world use both, though Celsius is the standard. So one can take it this video is for the American market. But if you are outside the aforementioned. Then your appliances control's are more than likely designed for the Celsius (°C) temperature range . So something to look out for when cooking As for F to (°C) converting Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature. Multiply this number by five. Divide the result by nine. 143 F - 32 =111 x 5 = 555 / 9 = 61.6666666667 But no matter what you do always cook your ham LOW AND SLOW An internal temperature gauge is a must in any kitchen Anything else is just guessing and mostly leads to over cooking or even worse under cooking It is all about the internal temperature once you know that requirement and when it is reached. Any meat you cook will always be delicious with the correct amount of mouthwatering moisture and flavours

Since cooking and flavor is completely subjective, here’s my two cents. If you have cloves or ground clove in your house, you’ll need to dispose of it or burn your house down. Clove is disgusting and overpowers anything it touches.

....... Yummy when cooking apples for pies etc.....As an additive, clove oil is very good for tooth ache.

A 1/16 tsp of cloves (or a pinch) in a marinade of red wine, garlic, evoo, allspice, bouillon, tomato paste/water, red pepper flakes, sometimes cinnamon. Let sirloin tips marinate overnight then cover and bake in the marinade for a couple of hours with onions. Heaven.
