Ukubhema, Kuphulukisiwe, Kumisiwe. Uyini umehluko?
Zonke i-ham ziqala njengokugcoba kusuka emlenzeni onqenqemeni we-hog. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi ham entsha. Ngaphambi kokuba lilungiselelwe akuhlukile neze kunoma iyiphi enye ingulube yokugcoba. Indlela okuthola ngayo ukuba yinhlanhla yinto eyinkimbinkimbi.
Amadamu ahlelwe ngezindlela eziningana ezahlukene. Bangabe bekhulile, belashwa, bebhema noma bapheka. I-ham oyithola esitolo ngokuvamile imanzi noma i- brine ikhululiwe. Le nqubo ihilela ukujoba i-ham ngenhlanganisela kasawoti, ushukela, i-nitrite ye-sodium , i-nitrate ye-sodium, i-sodium erythorbate, i-sodium phosphate, i-potassium chloride, amanzi kanye / noma ama-flavorings.
I-ham isuke iphekwe ekushiseni kwangaphakathi kuka-150 degrees F. Ukuhlanganiswa kwe-chemical brine nokupheka kuzobulala amabhaktheriya futhi kwenziwe i-ham.
Namuhla, ukuguga kuyinkqubo ehlukile futhi akudingi ukuba i-brine noma umusi. Amahhashi asehliswe ekamelweni elikhethekile elinokushisa okuqondile kanye nokulawula umswakama. AmaHams angasebenzisa iminyaka engama-5 eguga futhi azophuma eboshwe isikhunta esinzima. Yiqiniso, lokho kukhishwa futhi kuhlanjwe ngaphambi kokuyidla. Kungase kungabonakali kukhanga kakhulu kodwa lezi hams zivame ukuthengisa ngentengo ephezulu. Ukuguga kwenziwa nge-degree degrees F kuya ku-95 degrees F (25 kuya ku-35 degrees C), ezingeni lama-55% -65% okungenani izinsuku ezingama-45. Ukuhambisa umoya omuhle kuyadingeka ukugcina ubuso bomzimba bome ukuze kunciphise ukukhula kwesikhunta. Amahhashi alezi ezihlukahlukene abiza futhi anqunyelwe ekutholakaleni.
Ukubhema komkhumbi kuyindlela efanele yokubhema inhlanzi. Ukubhema kwezidakamizwa kwenziwa emazingeni okushisa kakhulu ngaphansi kwama-degrees ama-F (35 degrees C) kodwa cishe cishe ama-degree angama-degrees F (15 degrees C), futhi kungaqhubeka izinsuku noma amasonto.
Ngenxa yokuthi izinga lokushisa liphansi kangaka, amabhaktheriya alawulwa ngamakhemikhali omusi futhi inqubo yokumisa kancane. Inhlanzi ebandayo yokubhema idinga ukasawoti (ikakhulukazi e-brine) ukugcina amabhaktheriya alawulwe kuyo yonke inqubo yokuphulukisa.
Ama-hams amaningi alungiswa ngokusebenzisa inhlanganisela yalezi zinqubo.
I-Smithfield Ham, engathengisa imali engu- $ 7 kuya ku-$ 15 ibhilidi isebenzisa zonke izindlela ezingenhla ukuze kulondolozwe inyama. Uma ufuna ukwenza i-Smithfield Ham yakho, qalisa ngomlenze onomhlathi we-hog ophakanyiswe ngokugcwele ekudleni kwamanoni, shayela inhlanganisela yamanzi kasawoti izinyanga ezingu-1 kuya kwezingu-2, ubhema ngehora, bese uvumela iminyaka eminye izinyanga ezingu-6 . Bona ukuthi kungani bebiza kakhulu?
Ngakho awukwazi ukubeka ham entsha kumuntu obhemayo futhi ube nayo isidlo ngalobo busuku? Ngokuqinisekile uyakwazi, kodwa ngeke kube yinhlanhla ngendlela ocabanga ngayo ngehhafu. Kungaba kakhulu njengehlombe lokubhema ingulube noma isitayela esaseningizimu esithinte ingulube .
Nakuba kungase kuzwakale kuyinkimbinkimbi, ungalungisa ihha yakho ephilile, ekhulile futhi ebhemayo, nje ngokuhlela kusengaphambili. Ezinye zezixhumanisi ngakwesokudla zingakunika imiyalelo ngesinyathelo ngesinyathelo sokuphulukisa i-ham. Uma ukhetha umusi oshisayo inyamazane yakho, sebenzisa imiyalo ye- ingulube evundiwe .
Ngakho-ke, kuthiwani uma ungafuni ukuhamba nakho konke lokhu? Kunezindlela eziningana zokugqoka uh ham olungiselelwe ozokwengeza ukunambitheka nokuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yenhlanzi. Ngokuvamile, lapho sisebenzela i-ham esilisiwe ngaphambi komhlangano ohleliwe, sisunduza ama-clove ayishumi nanhlanu noma ngaphezulu, phezulu ngezinhlamvu zikaphayinaphu, u-glaze nge-sauce enhle yesinaphi bese ubhaka kuhhavini yakho ngama-degree degrees F (175 degrees C) kubambhangqwana amahora, kuye ngobukhulu.
Yebo, lokhu kuzoshisa futhi kwengeze ukunambitheka kodwa uma ufuna ngempela ukugqoka i-ham, zama ku-grill noma kumuntu obhemayo. Kweminye imibono zama i- Honey Glazed Smoked Ham noma i-Maple-Mustard Ham.
