Every dish has its charms. Dishes can be easy, but also difficult to make. Or Hard to make, I mean it will take a while to finish. For example, a French Toast is easy to make, but Duck a l’orange needs more time to get the sauce right. One of the dishes that is delicious to prepare: Ham. You have ham with a bone or ham without bone. Today we are going to talk about the second. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how to cook Boneless Ham.
What is the definition of Boneless Ham
The meaning of Boneless Ham is:
”The ham, also called boneless ham, is pork with most of the fat removed. Just like the hip, thigh and shaft bones. Boneless ham is easy to cut”
About Boneless Ham
An advantage of the Ham is that pieces of meat have already been removed. This also concerns the most fat. The meat that remains is shaped and packaged. This also makes the piece of meat easy to cut and prepare. A ham that has no bone can be cooked faster. You will also notice that it is a lot easier with cutting. You don’t have to work around a bone.
If you have the choice to choose a bone-in ham or a boneless ham, it is an easy choice as a beginner. I would recommend that you opt for a ham that is pre-cooked. When you buy a pre-cooked ham, you have a number of steps to follow. These steps are also explained later in the recipe. The steps consist of:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Celsius
- Place the ham in a roasting pan, make sure to put the ham in the oven for 15 minutes per pound. Put the gloves on the top of the ham
- Place the water in the tray and aluminium foil on top.
- Brush the ham with a glaze the last 30 minutes, every 10 minutes.
- After the time the meat needs to have an internal temperature of 140-145 celcius
- Let the ham rest for 5 minutes. You are ready to serve the ham!
Glaze Boneless Ham
A ham without a sauce is, of course, boring. The Glaze gives the ham an extra boost and will finish the real dish. This will be discussed again in the recipes below, but you can choose any glaze you want. A simple glaze is with butter, brown sugar, orange zest, and cinnamon and ground cloves. Below you can find all the ingredients you need.
