Fuck sandwiches, i think I'll just kill myself

>>16898595
That wasn't me. Why won't anyone help

>>16898573
>>16898618
Why are you buying things you don't know how to cook? You're wasting money and food.

>>16898573
you'll need a special cutting machine to slice it thin
shoulda just gone to the deli OP who do you think you are iron chef america?

>Pork

Into the bin it goes!

>>16898618
Never mind I'll just kill myself

Don't post in this thread anymore

>>16898624
Because I thought i could just google it but there's so many different hams

>>16898628
I have a bread slicer that looks the same as a meat slicer so will just use that

>>16898635
Not me again

put it in freezer and firm it up a bit
then slice
ucan make some nice pork chops too i like them with pepper and onions and cheerry tomatoes

OP here, I don't need help anymore, fuck you all

>>16898643
No i want sandwich ham

>>16898647
Not me

No wait that was me

OP here I'm going to throw the ham in the trash since I don't know what to do with it

>>16898650
Ham for sandwiches is cured meat, it's a whole thing, you don't just cook it.
You could just roast this but it won't be like deli ham

>>16898661
I don't care if it's not exactly like some packaged ham, i just want to cook it and slice it thin-ish for sandwiches. I have an oven and a slow cooker

>>16898675
Put the ham in the slow cooker with some water or stock, season it however you want then throw the slow cooker in the oven for 6-8 hours at 450 F.

looks good

>>16898653 ok

>>16898573
That looks like a raw pork loin, not a ham, and definitely not a center cut ham like the label says. Why are you buying mislabeled shit?

I’m back. Jannies can delete my thread I decided to return the ham to the meat store and kill myself.

>>16898787
Kind of why I'm asking, it doesn't look like center cut when i Google it

My grandfather always used to boil Ham. Was always nice, but I'm not sure how long he did it for. But maybe look up how to boil it.

>>16898904
So it's literally a long pork chop?

>>16898878
Learn what things are before you buy them.

If it's a loin like it appears to be in the picture, you can make a nice pork roast or cut it into pork chops.

If you want deli ham get it from a deli, you probably don't have an industrial meat slicer to cut it thin like you want it.

>>16898941
Pork chops are chopped pork. They chop the pork from a bigger piece of pork called a pork loin. If you chop the loin you get pork chops.

PORK
CHOP

>>16898941
Pretty much, yeah. If you're cutting it thin you'll want to trim the fat, if you cut it thick then render it for a bit. All pork chops really need is salt but I also like a little cayenne or sometimes some lemon pepper, IMO the latter is best done on thin pork chops because they don't need to be in the pan for long. My dad used to make a sauce out of 50/50 horseradish and a fruit jam like peach.

>>16898957
Jesus this board is anal. I'm not trying to get deli ham. I'm trying to cook this particular meat so i can slice it relatively thin to put in-between 2 pieces of bread for the week. I'm not trying to open up a sandwich shop. Just tell me how to cook this so it's edible. I'll cook it, cool it and cut it up.

>>16898965
Sounds tasty. How do i Cook this meat in one big lump? I'll cut it up after.

look up parisian ham

You know what? Just forget it. Please stop posting in my thread.

>>16899126
Not me

>>16899149
also not me, but accurate.

>>16899041
If you need other people to explain to you how to make a chunk of pig meat hot then cut it, save some time and just stick your head in the oven

>>16898595
Dangerous based

>>16899041
Nigger you literally don't know what a fucking pork chop is, and you're getting upset about people reacting poorly to you asking an asinine question about how to cook and slice a pork chop over and over. Google it.

OP here, I'm back, I don't really like ham so I'm just going to kill myself now

>>16899227
Don't listen to him, it's not me.

I am still going to kill myself though.

>>16898573
>>16898618
>>16898650
>>16899126

>>16898573
If it actually is a pork loin rather than ham as speculated, season as you like (I use a Texan brand pork rub but s&p&gp is adequate), roast in the oven until around 145-150 f, rest and let carryover heat get it to 155 f then use a very sharp knife to slice as thin as possible. Even quarter inch thickness is ok for a pork loin sandwich. DO NOT OVERCOOK IT. Invest in a meat thermometer if you haven't already done so. A good sharp knife is what you need to get thin slices.

>>16899268
Oh, it's not ham? Ok, definitely killing myself then

OP here, nothing after the first post is me, I'm hearing apparently I didn't buy ham?

Open to suggestions but I'm leaning toward killing myself.

>>16898573
Just buy a fucking cookbook ffs retard. Either bake or boil, it really isn’t hard.

>>16899320
>boil
Wut

>>16899332
yes, you boil ham.
Buy a fucking cookbook.

>>16899335
Lol no

I like my meat with flavor and sear not boiled kek

I know granny boiled ham but that doesn’t mean you have to

>>16899041
>How do i Cook this meat in one big lump?
I'd use a slow cooker but thin chops are ideal for a sandwich IMO. You get a lot of flavor by salting and browning both sides.

>>16899362
>boiled ham has no flavor
Again, learn to cook. buy a cookbook.
look up parisian ham

>>16899367
>It's French so you know it's good
Americans are so pathetic. Simultaneously xenophobic but completely floored and excited by anything sounding foreign.

>>16899362
I guess you also think corned beef has no flavor.
We really need to purge this place of retards.

>>16899362
buy a cookbook retard and learn how to boil a ham correctly, you don't even "boil" it, you bring to the boil and then leave it at a simmer. Your nan might have boiled it to death but not everyone is a retard like her.

>>16899371
Then why did you say "you boil ham" when you didn't mean boil ham?

Why? huh? huh? Moving the goalposts now? huh? God I wish I could push you against a wall right now and make you eat your fucking words.

I’m begging you. What should I do with my ham? I’m going to settle on the next thing someone suggests to me.

>>16899397
Cook it and slice it thin for sandwiches

>>16899409
No don't this makes mustard gas

>>16899381
>then why did you say "you boil ham"
because that wasn't me. Also he's using "you" to refer to anyone in general, let me guess you're an ESL fag.
>tard admits having a temper tantrum over basic english fail
call the wrangler.

>>16899369
Sounds more like he knows it's good because he's had it. It floors me that people outside of the US spend all day shitting on the US then wonder why we don't like anyone.

>>16899369
Oh fuck off, the best "ham sandwiches" are jambon-beurre and croque monsier/madam both are french and use parisian ham.

>>16898573
Thin slice and heat in a hot skillet

Uhhh cant beleive no ones suggested this, but I prefer steamed hams over any of the afformentioned cooking methods

>>16899268
Thanks, the only reasonable person here

>>16899320
But it's not what it's labelled as so i don't know what recipe to use

>>16899366
Slow cooker how? Just throw it in for 8hrs? And I'm not sure i want all that fat in my sandwich. Shall i trim it before browning?

>>16899367
Most of these comments aren't me btw

>>16899600
Too much work, i just want a big hunk of cooked meat in the fridge i can slice and make sandwiches with

>>16899586
>jambon-beurre
It's a butter ham sandwich. You're the kind of faggot that says "bleu cheese" without any sense of awareness

>>16899697
>It's a butter ham sandwich.
I said it was a ham sandwich you fucking moron.

>>16899702
>ooooh le jambon-beurre, an exotic combination of baguette, ham and butter

KYS friend.

>>16898573
Try a pressed ham, that'll be a great sight on the plate.

>>16899710
>it's a ham sandwich
It's what OP asked for. Why are you even in this thread?

>>16898573
I'm just gonna fuck it into the oven for a couple hours at 220c

>>16899787
Imagine putting bleu cheese on it mmmmmmm

>>16899792
It’s not going well. Considering suicide.

>>16899823
I am

>>16898573
Put it in some mac & cheese with peas.

>>16898941
hahaha long pork?
What are you some kind of cannibal?

>>16899586
The best ham sandwich is a Cubano you disgusting ouiaboo

>>16899955
>ouiaboo
based kek

>>16899955
>cubano
>cuba
Fuck you brown colored Pinko faggot.

>>16899792
I recommend cooking it first before fucking it, otherwise enjoy you penis worms.

>>16899988
I don’t have time I’m too hungry it’s been 8 hours

>>16899969
Cubano was created by based Floridamen who had the good sense to flee communism and wanted an extravagant sandwich to show off how much better it is here in the US, stay mad.

>>16898962
is sandwich ham a pork chop?

>>16900028
Ham isn't loin, it's leg

Also I'm OP, thinking about killing myself

>>16900016
kek no it wasn't. It was made before communism was introduced into Cuba.

>>16900363
Yes

>>16900355
There was a smudge on my screen ok

>>16900350
Organic black pepper my sides

>>16900350
you read the canister but you also didn't at the same time

>>16900350
What the fuck's wrong with that? I have peppercorns in a mill too. I like this shit on fried eggs and it's easier to put this stuff into sauces

>>16900381
>>16900383
Look just give me a break ok. I think my boyfriend is cheating on me and my head isn't in the right place. He likes this guy with a bigger beard than mine and it's killing me that i can't grow one

>>16898573
ask your butcher to slice it for you

>>16900461
Lmao

just heat it up until it looks good to eat

>>16898595
don't do it!
I care

put it in the oven

Op this is a strange thread, but i must say your development was great. From not knowing what a bit of ham was to cooking it to that finished product that actually looks really good was a breath of fresh air around these parts. Good job. Enjoy your sandwiches

>>16900640
he cooked a fresh ham in a fast oven. It's going to be tough as shoe leather.

>>16900587
trannies aren't women you retard.

Gay people have extreme fetishes so further degrading yourself will turn on your boyfriend.

>>16900518
Looks Australian.

>>16900668
>trannies aren't women
But they look like it, retard. Fags aren't attracted to feminine qualities.

>>16898595
whew

take it back to the deli after you cook it and have them slice it for you

lets see a fucking sandwich, guy.

>>16900908
>Fags aren't attracted to feminine qualities.
Then why are so many fags effeminate? The next logical step is transification

>>16900955
Anon he’s been dead for hours. If only we saw the warning signs.

>>16901344
Then who was ham?

>>16900654
He said it'll be thin. He probably doesn't care, it's clearly one of his first times cooking. Maybe this will spark am interest for him

>>16900955
Gimme 5 or 6 hrs

>>16901344
Dead asleep baby! In Ireland. I took the finished ham picture about 1030pm. Too late for a sandwich

Op here, didn’t feel like sandwiches anymore and just ended up biting chunks out of the ham

>>16900654
I did 20 min @220 then 1hr30 @180 then 15 min at max to crisp the fat. Thoughts?

>>16900640

>>16899220
Lmao cooklet op btfo

>>16900305
Against all cosmic odds considering how this thread went you managed to finally cook the fucking thing. Good job OP

I don't know why people are saying what OP bought and cooked was a loin joint when it was clearly a gammon, which is just an uncooked ham, and ham/gammon isn't from the loin.

>>16899651
>But it's not what it's labelled as
jesus christ.
>so i don't know what recipe to use
BUY A FUCKING COOKBOOK. I'm going to suggest you get 'The Constance Spry Cookery Book' by Constance Spry and Rosemary Hume, as it covers a lot. You can also easily look up recipes online tard.
>>16899792
for future reference pork should be cooked at 200c or 180c in a fan oven for 25 minutes per lb + 25 minutes over.

This thread should tell you why you shouldn't come to this place for advice on cooking.

>>16898573
pork loin isn't sandwich meat you idiot.
Either cut it into pork chop (roughly 1 inch slices, you can also do double pork chops at 2 inches) which can be used for a variety of things, I recommend tonkatsu, where you tenderize a chop then coat in flour, coat in egg and then coat in panko bread crumbs and then fry till golden brown and crispy. Or just pan fried till done, then deglaze pan with onions and vinegar for a quick easy pan sauce.
Or you can slice it lenghtwise into a roulade, which is where you're not cutting through it but instead doing kind of a spiral cut which will unroll the log of meat into a sheet of meat, then stuff with preferred stuff, for example making a duxelle from mushrooms pan fried till brown in butter, diced onion, then add mustard to make a duxcelle sauce, smear that all over the inner side of the meat, then put spinach and shredded aged white cheddar, then roll the roulade up, tying it with butcher twine, doing butcher kntos every 2 inches or so and one final loop going lengthwise. Sear outside and cook for 30 minutes at 425 in oven, or until done. Rest for 10 minutes, then cut and serve in inch sized slices.

>>16898573
Jesus Christ you're a faggot, here just follow this recipe, after cooking refrigerate and cut to you're desired thickness, or shove it up your arse I really couldn't care less.

>>16903094
nobody is talking about pork loin you idiot.

OP here. Just killed myself but God won't let me die.

>>16903094
Errm pretty sure i can slice it thin and put it in bed

>>16903033
I don’t think americans use the term Gammon

>>16903299
He literally stated he's Irish. He also used Celsius. I think you're a retarded FAGGOT

>>16903304
first, take a breather
I was suggesting that the confusion over others not calling it gammon was because they were american posters.

hope you have a great day

>>16899362
My grandad's parisian ham is the best ham I've ever had, fuck off

>>16898573
I would steam it but I know you can cook it normally but I don't know how.
If you want to steam it wrap it in aluminum foil and cook in oven on low heat (100-120 C°).
I wouldn't know how to cook it normally, I'm afraid it would dry.
After that you'll be free to slice it however you like.
I hope it helps.

First picture was taken at an odd angle that made it look more like a loin I think, it's obvious in subsequent pictures that it is in fact a ham (though still not center cut like the label said) but it took OP a gorillion years to post any after the first one because he was too busy contemplating suicide

>>16903830
Yes... Is they bad?

>>16903839
>>16904094
OP, I still advise you to buy a cookbook, and the Constance Spry book I suggested gives a lot of details on basic “how to cook” stuff type advice, advice on cuts of meat etc, as well as plenty of recipes. Also in the future try going to your local butcher who should prove knowledge on cuts and what they are for etc.

>>16904480
Perhaps

>>16904480
He doesn’t need any books where he’s going.
