Homemade ham in a ham maker
Homemade ham in a ham maker is a recipe that I have been using for a while now. The first experience of cooking ham was not entirely successful. But after purchasing a ham maker, I gave up store-bought products forever. I have never regretted it. This makes it more profitable and safer.

-
Ham is easy to prepare at home. So, all we need is chicken meat, salt and favorite spices. I do not recommend using chicken fillet for ham - the ham will turn out dry. -
I use chicken drumstick meat.I remove the skin, veins and bones from the drumsticks and cool them well in the refrigerator. It's best to leave it in the refrigerator overnight. Cut the chicken into manageable pieces. -
Using a meat grinder, grind a quarter of the chicken pieces. I have an electric device, so it turns out quickly. You can add a few cloves of garlic if you wish, but I use dry garlic. -
Place the minced chicken in a bowl with the prepared meat, generously salt it, and add your favorite spices. -
Using your hands, mix the minced meat thoroughly and quickly. It is important that the meat remains cold. If it gets warm, refrigerate it. -
You want it to be a viscous mass that sticks to your hands. -
Let's start creating the product itself. Line the ham pan with a food bag. A baking sleeve can also easily cope with this function. -
Fill the ham pan with minced meat and press down with a spoon so that there is no air. -
Tie the free edge tightly and secure the lid. -
Tighten the springs. Refrigerate the ham maker for 3 hours. I leave it overnight. -
Next, place the ham dish in a pan of water. It is important that the ham pan is completely covered with water. -
Put it on fire. Cook the ham on low heat for 2-3 hours. -
After a while, carefully remove the ham maker and place it in ice water. Leave for 10 minutes. -
