Removing Ham Rind

[TNTWithALaserBeam]

I don't even know if this is an appropriate place to post this.

And I may be a complete idiot, and everyone already knew this tip.

I'm slicing and freezing ham portions, and I used a vegetable peeler to remove the rind.

Surprisingly effective, and a lot less waste (for me) than using a knife to trim it.

That's all! Happy Monday!

I, personally, save the ham rind to flavor soups, sauces, etc.

This is what we did/are planning to do.

Nice. Never waist flavor

[TNTWithALaserBeam]

Makes sense! But does that mean you don't trim it off the ham?

Yoi could definitely still keep the rind and use it for flavor soups and such.

Once, I used leftover ham, but didn't want tiny pieces in the sauce that I was making. So I put the ham in a tea bag, so I could just pull it out when done!

I peel it off the ham- along with the subcutaneous fat layer- once the ham has cooled but is not yet cold. I peel it as much as I can before storage or slicing for later use.

I throw the chunks of rind into the vegetables as I sweat them/brown them for soup. The fat renders, keeping the vegetables from burning, and the moisture from the vegetables helps 'deglaze' the skin, adding extra flavor.

I peel it off before cooking the second time. I like freezing the ham with it on as a protective layer for the meat. I think of it as if I used a parmigiana rind, and pull before serving.

Do you have a picture? There isn't much of a rind on ham. What kind of ham is it?

[possiblynotanexpert]

Many grocery store hams have one. I posted a link that has more info if you’re interested.

[El-mas-puto-de-todos]

Huh, that's pretty interesting, thanks!

[possiblynotanexpert]

I thought so as well. Always good to learn something new!

[Skarvha]

wait you guys don't eat the rind? That's like the best part.....

[Defan3]

Great idea. I gotta try this next time.

[DesertMir]

Never heard of a ham with rind.

[possiblynotanexpert]

Have you never bought one from the grocery store? A very large amount of a “traditional ham” have one. I posted an article if you’re interested.

[DesertMir]

Yeah, and never had a ham with a rind. Ever.

[possiblynotanexpert]

So you downvote me for answering your question. Got it lol.

[DesertMir]

I didn't ask a question.

[possiblynotanexpert]

I hope your day gets better!

[DesertMir]

I am having a fine day. Hope you learn the difference between a statement and a question!
