Pork ham baked in the oven - tips and helpful tips
- Dishes made from fresh meat have the best taste and benefits. However, it is not always possible to purchase steam pork, so in the case of buying frozen ham, the piece should be thawed in a natural way, and not in water: the valuable juice containing protein is washed off with it.
- Cuts on the piece before baking are done so that the finished meat is juicy and not tough. For a more thorough impregnation of the ham, these cuts can be injected into the marinade with a spoon or with the help of a medical syringe.
- Hard meat from a middle-aged pig will become soft, if during the preliminary boiling of the ham in the broth add 1 tbsp. spoon of alcohol or 1/2 spoon of vinegar (9%).
- Milk can be a good alternative to brine, which gives the meat piece a spicy taste and softness. The ham is aged in it for several hours before baking. The same properties has mustard, often found in recipes for the preparation of pork ham.
- Since the ham itself is a rather nutritious and high-calorie product, it is better to choose vegetable side dishes as additives. This combination will be the most successful and healthy.
