Mistakes Everyone Makes When Cooking Spam

[@MashedFood]

How do you make your Spam?

[@RickGrimes007]

With peppered med eggs n cheese on My homage buttered bread soo good!! Or scrambled cheese with potatoes outa my garden ,peppers 🌶

[@60x2andgood]

Old school...love it when camping 🏕. Also diced in omelet. Or on a sandwich ! Fried first of course. Thanks for the tips on reducing the salt. Wish they would just make a low salt version.

[@DitchCarp]

The Hickory Flavored Spam sliced thin and crispy.... replaces bacon for breakfast. Especially when camping.

[@imissmydog8279]

Because of it’s saltiness, I mainly use Hot & Spicy Spam for fried rice.

[@P11247]

I don't. My dad used to bring it to the field when he flew model airplanes. Slapped in on white bread, sprayed a bit of mustard on it and bam, we had a sandwich. Yick. Would say it was a nice family memory, but not so much. Hot, have to retrieve the plane when it landed, warm kool-aid in a jug. Never had it or bought it after moving out.

Rinsing or boiling the spam loaf before cooking/frying will remove surface salt, but it also will remove the collagen (that jelly-like goo around the loaf and left in the can, when you finally get it shaken free). The collagen is good for you. I am not an expert on the best method for retaining, the effects cooking has on collagen, and the best way for the body to accept and use most efficiently. I still researching that part, but blatantly washing down the drain seems to be a waste of a beneficial nutrient.

[@growleym504]

They have a low sodium Spam, and I love that stuff! For a sandwich, I like to slice it facewise, instead of in strips off the side or top or bottom. It's like a big spam patty that way. A brief soak removes even more salt, IMHO improving the flavor, especially if you like really thick slices. Favorites for me are diced spam scrambled in eggs, or spamchili mac, or Spam Ranchero, which is a slab of spam like a spam steak, fried a little crispy and then topped with Rotel tomatoes and chiles, and braised covered for a few minutes. Serve over Thai Jasmine rice. Sometimes I make chicken fried spam steak. Good stuff. Spam cheeseburger. Spam chowder. Spam jambalaya. Spamghetti. Spammy Cristo Sandwich. Spam Wellington. Deep fried Spam nuggets. Spam tacos. Bacon wrapped spam sticks. Spam gravy over biscuits. Spam and cabbage. Lots of great stuff to make with Spam.

[@imissmydog8279]

To easily remove Spam from the can, punch a hole on the other side with an old (perhaps dull) knife (because you don’t want to wreck your good knives). Since there is no longer suction to keep it in the can, the Spam falls right out onto the chopping board!

[@robertbenzon6941]

Perfect method. Using it for years.

[@marygable5824]

You are supposed to squeeze at both ends of the can till they pop so it slides out easy

Here is a spam recipe. 1 can spam 1 can pineapple chunks in heavy syrup. 1 very small clove garlic pealed not chopped. 1/2 green bell pepper cut in chunks about the same size you cut the spam 1/8th cup sliced onions cut wide. Small piece fresh ginger Cut spam in chunks not to thin or thick. Add spam and green pepper ginger to a pan using a neutral oil like peanut oil do not use olive oil. Saute until both spam and peppers are lightly browned. Add pineapple chunks and saute a minute. Add pineapple syrup garlic clove onion Cook low moderate heat until syrup thickens. Take off heat and let it sit a few minutes. If you can find "light soy sauce" sprinkle some on your portion. Don't use regular soy sauce, it is to salty. Enjoy! P.S. you do not have to strictly follow the recipe and can modify.

[@OniNoFro]

For people concerned about the salt levels in spam, you can "treat" it a way similar to naval meats. thinly slice to .33 or .5 inch thickness Use a small to medium sized pot and bring water to boil put the sliced spam in, ensuring the slices are separated from each other to maximize surface area and reduce to simmer for 12 to 15 minutes (you'll have to play with this a bit depending on water capacity of pot vs thickness of slices) remove from heat, covered and let for 15 to 30 minutes cool. drain the pot, keeping the spam in it, and "rinse" it with cool water two or 3 times That's it. Little bit of prep work to control for salt content.

[@diablominero]

Thinly sliced spam is a passable substitute for more traditional cold cuts on a sandwich. Yes, the texture and flavor leave something to be desired, but on a sandwich with vegetables and mayonnaise, you'll just get the meatiness and salt no matter what salty cooked meat you use.

About three times a week, I make what my wife calls my "lovely breakfast." It a couple of frozen hash brown potato patties, two or three slices of Spam, and at least half a diced onion, all fried up in a skillet with a few drops of olive oil. I put the patties in first and let the first side reach a golden brown color. Then I flip them over and add the meat and onion. The oil goes on the onion; neither the patties or the Spam need it. I turn the slices when the edges get crispy looking and stir the onions every couple of minutes. It takes next to no time to make and is delicious. And, it doesn't matter to me which variety of Spam I use. Unfortunately, my local grocery store has stopped carrying all but three varieties. It doesn't matter; I love the stuff however I can get it.
