A delicious sandwich with greens and sausage, sausages or ham is a classic not only for a quick breakfast, but also for any snack. However, the factory product does not give much hope for quality, and the taste of the homemade product will be inferior. Experts advise lovers of such dishes to figure out how to cook ham in a ham maker or in more accessible ways.

How to cook ham at home

In the eyes of most housewives, semi-finished meat products (sausages, sausages, etc.) are not something that is easy to do with your own hands, since it is not at all clear what the procedure itself looks like. Which edge should I approach from and what manipulations with the meat will need to be done? Partly, the fears are not empty, since preparing ham at home is a long process, taking approximately 3-4 days, although the housewife will only need to work with the products for a couple of hours. However, the general algorithm is not as complex as it initially appears.

Basic scheme:

  1. Any DIY ham starts with choosing the meat. Experts advise using pork, preferably a ham (from the back), but you can use the neck or brisket. It is important that there is no cartilage that would prevent slicing.
  2. Before heat treatment, the meat goes through the stage of salting or marinating: this stage will last for several days, since the piece is large and soaks in liquid for a long time.
  3. Afterwards, cooking, baking or smoking is carried out - the choice depends on what equipment the cook has available. This is the shortest stage.
  4. All that remains is to keep the homemade ham in the refrigerator for several hours or even a day (depending on the chosen recipe and heat treatment), after which it is used for its intended purpose: for sandwiches, appetizers, for salads, etc.

Recipe

What spices to use to make this nutritious product, what heat treatment method to choose - baking or boiling, when to take the ham out of the water and how best to tie it? A lot of questions and almost no universal answer. Each homemade ham recipe has its own nuances and subtleties, so among the 10 offered you can find one that will satisfy you in all respects.

Chopped ham at home differs in appearance from the classic one, but the taste can be absolutely identical to it. Due to the fine cutting of meat, the heat treatment time is reduced, and on the cut you get an interesting mosaic effect. If you use dry herbs and even some vegetables (mostly hard ones), you can further emphasize this nuance. Combine several types of meat if desired.

  • salt – 120 g;
  • clove buds – 3 pcs.;
  • water – 1.5 l;
  • vodka – 30 ml.

  3. Place on foil, form into a cylinder, and wrap with thread. Send to bake for an hour (oven temperature – 200 degrees).
  4. Transfer to a saucepan without removing the foil. Cook for 4 hours (constant water temperature - 70 degrees).
  5. Rinse the ham with cold water, let cool and put in the refrigerator for a day.

When making this product, you need to know several basic conditions that determine the result, and which some housewives forget about:

  • Ham is an uncooked product, so it should be cooked at a water temperature no higher than 85 degrees.
  • To make homemade ham, it is recommended to use chilled meat.
  • Homemade ham does not last long, because... There are no preservatives, so try to prepare the volume for 2-3 days.
  • A little professional trick: if you don’t have a ham maker and you couldn’t find a canned food can, buy a springform cake pan.

Quick recipe for homemade ham in a ham maker


Ingredients

  • Pork trimmings – 1.3 kg
  • Nitrite salt – 26 g
  • Mix of crushed peppers – 50 g

Procedure

Pork trimmings are not the best quality meat. But for our needs we don’t need more.

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 the cubes need to be minced and mixed with the rest.

We use seasonings. In our case, it is salt and a mixture of crushed peppers. But in general, everything depends only on your imagination and taste preferences. You can use onions, garlic and other ingredients. We will limit ourselves to salting and using peppers.

We take salt 2% by weight of meat, pepper – about 50 g. Mix. Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to mature.

  • We prepare the ham maker for work: we fasten the bottom to the body with the help of springs and place it on it. Carefully line the inner surface with foil.
  • The most important stage is laying the meat. We place the pieces tightly, trying to avoid air gaps. Then wrap the top of the meat with foil and install the second lid. We hook the springs onto it.
  • The finished loaded projectile remains to be thoroughly boiled. Place the ham maker in a pan of water and start heating.

    Heat the water to 70°C, wait 1 hour. Then increase the power and cook at a gentle boil for 2 hours.

  • After 2 hours, carefully drain the hot water, take out the product and put it in the refrigerator to cool. After a couple of hours, the aromatic ham is completely ready to eat. Bon appetit!

    The healthiest product in terms of proper nutrition, made at home in simple conditions. And it is not necessary to have a special unit for this. You can make a ham maker with your own hands - from a cut plastic bottle or large tin can, after cutting off the bottom and rounding off the sharp edges.

    The sausage turns out chopped. To increase the density of the original product, experienced chefs advise adding gelatin or agar-agar to meat. This will not affect the taste. And take the pulp itself from different parts of the bird, for example, the breast and legs. This will make the sausage more delicious.

    The components you will need:

    • chicken pulp - up to 1 kg;
    • Provencal herbs - 1.5 tbsp. l.;
    • garlic - 3 cloves;
    • gelatin - 1 sachet (10 g);
    • seasoning for chicken legs, salt, paprika - to taste.

    All films and fat must be removed from the meat. Cut the pulp across the grain, so the sausage will be even juicier.

    Mix the chopped meat with all the seasonings and chopped garlic, add gelatin and Provençal herbs. If you want to add color to the future sausage, you can add a teaspoon of sweet paprika or turmeric to the preparation.

    Mix all ingredients and leave for half an hour. Then fill the baking sleeve with the preparation and place it in a homemade (or ready-made) ham maker. Place the workpiece in the cylinder on a baking sheet sideways and bake. Heat treatment should take place at 200 degrees for at least an hour. From time to time the jar needs to be turned over. Allow the finished product to cool and refrigerate for a day.

    Pork boiled pork

    This version of a homemade delicacy will surprise you with its ease of preparation. This recipe does not require fancy devices and structures that give the finished product a cylindrical shape. The only thing you need is a large piece of pulp and a long thread, preferably a culinary thread. The boiled pork will turn out juicy and appetizing. To prepare it you need to take:

    pork ham or neck - 1.5 kg;

    • water - 3 l;
    • coarse salt - 60 g;
    • garlic - 6 cloves;
    • dried basil - 2 tbsp. l.;
    • bay leaf, black pepper - to taste.

    The meat must be thoroughly washed and dried with paper napkins. Then rub the entire surface of the piece with two tablespoons of salt and place in the refrigerator for eight hours. Roll into a roll and tie tightly with thread. The water should already be boiling at this time; pour the remaining salt and seasonings and whole cloves of garlic into it. Place the meat stock into boiling water. Reduce the heat by a third and cook the boiled pork for an hour.

    After cooking for an hour, turn off the heat and leave the pan on the stove until it cools completely. After this, refrigerate for another ten hours (overnight). In the morning, boil the pan with brine again. Place the meat in the pan only when the brine is bubbling. Cook for another hour and wait for it to cool again at room temperature. After cooling, remove the meat, pat dry with paper towels, remove the thread and place in the refrigerator.

    Beef option

    An easy version of homemade ham. But professional chefs recommend adhering to two rules: salt the meat using a syringe and leave the meat in the brine for at least three days, but no more than a week.

    The product will require the following components:

    • beef pulp - at least 1.5 kg;
    • water - 1 l;
    • salt - 120 g;
    • a mixture of ground hot peppers - to taste.

    Boil water with salt and pepper mixture in a saucepan. Let it simmer for two minutes and turn it off. Take the resulting brine into a syringe and prick the pulp on all sides. Pour the rest of the marinade over the meat, cover with film and place in the refrigerator for 3 days. Then take it out, roll it into a roll, and tie it tightly with thread. Pour water and cook over low heat for at least three hours. Cool at room temperature, then remove excess moisture from the product and place in the refrigerator.

    This option will help you out if you cannot purchase a special device. The finished product will have the same beautiful appearance and unique taste. Chopped meat mixed with minced meat gives the dish a zest. This significantly reduces cooking time. The jar must be wide and long, with a volume of at least 1 liter.

    The components you need to take are:

    Pork flesh is cut into pieces (no more than 1 centimeter). Then you need to mix it with minced beef and all the spices, add salt. Leave for an hour. Then mix all the ingredients again, wrap in cling film or put in a plastic bag, simultaneously giving the workpiece a cylindrical shape. Place the package in a jar, put the jar in a pan. Pour water into the pan up to the sides of the jar. Cook the ham for at least two hours. After cooling completely at room temperature, place in the refrigerator for a day.

    Homemade ham recipe made from pork and beef

    Ingredients

    • meat - 1 kilogram (300 grams each of lean pork, pork with fat, beef and 100 grams of bacon or lard);
    • salt - 17 grams;
    • black peppercorns (to taste);
    • other spices for meat dishes (at your discretion).

    How to make minced meat

    1. Cut the beef into small cubes.
    2. We cut the bacon into small pieces, which gives ham, prepared at home from pork and other meats, juiciness and piquancy.
    3. Divide the pork neck into two equal pieces. We cut one of them into cubes, and from the second we make very fine minced meat. To do this, you can use a meat grinder or blender: grind the fillet to a paste. We need minced meat to bind the pieces of meat together.
    4. Pour the chopped meat and chopped minced meat into a deep container.
    5. Pour peppercorns into a mortar (I use both black and allspice), crush them thoroughly, and add to the meat.
    6. Then season with spices at your discretion. Salt the meat mixture and mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Cover the container with a lid and place in the refrigerator for several hours to allow the mixture to infuse.

    How to form a loaf

    1. Roll out the cling film and place a third of the meat mixture on one edge. We moisten our hands with water and press the meat thoroughly, forming a sausage. Then wrap it tightly with a roll. If you notice air bubbles, take a toothpick and carefully pierce the lump so that the film adheres smoothly to the meat. This will ensure the beef and pork ham is smooth and whole, just as the recipe calls for.
    2. After this, take the sausage by the tails and roll it back and forth on the work surface: this way the ham will become even denser and tastier.
    3. Roll out the film again: place the sausage on the edge, tuck the tails under the bottom and wrap the second layer. Roll the ham over the surface: as in the first case. Then we make the third and fourth layers of film using the same technology as in the chicken ham recipe.
    4. We form two more sausage bars in the same way. In total, according to this recipe for homemade ham from pork and beef, you get three loaves.

    How to cook

    1. We put a pan of water on the fire: the temperature should not exceed 80 degrees - that is, do not bring it to a boil. Then add homemade ham, cover with a lid and cook at the rate of 50 minutes per 1 kg of loaf weight.
    2. Boiled ham should be cooled, as it is recommended to eat it cold. Afterwards, we put it in the refrigerator for several hours: this way the sausage will become more aromatic and dense.
    3. Using a knife, carefully remove the shell, cut into pieces and serve. Homemade ham is very tasty and can be stored for a long time.

    Now you know how to cook the most delicious ham at home.
