Types of accessories

When preparing to taste an iberian shoulder ham , for example, we must take into account that we need a series of ham accessories to be able to do so. You cannot eat it just any way, since if you are going to enjoy its slices you have to do it properly.

Of course, you need knives to be able to make a fine and good slice, with which you can enjoy every aroma and nuance. Cutting is part of the experience, and having a minimum of knowledge is vital to being able to participate in an ideal gastronomic experience. But other resources are also necessary.

The ham holder

It is essential to have a good ham holder, that is, a support on which the piece is placed firmly and safely. In the past they were made of wood, but now they are normally made of stainless steel. The change is due to the fact that this way it is much more hygienic, easier to clean, and more resistant.

The ideal ones are the extendable ones. These have a screw that serves to immobilize the ham and keep it firm. But how do you choose the right one? You have to look at its material and that the base seems resistant, as well as whether the anchor is a socket or a rotating system. This will help you to be able to turn the ham quickly and easily.

A cover

This is very important for presenting the pieces and for them to be well preserved. Of course, it must be made of a first-class material. When choosing one, you have to make sure that it is breathable and made of cotton and polyester fibres. Also, that it is resistant and hygienic, so that it is in perfect condition.

Remember that ham should be stored in a ventilated, cool and dry place. Therefore, with a good quality, microporous cover we can ensure that it breathes and is well preserved.

How to cut ham correctly?

When you are going to eat it, the first thing you have to do is remove the cover and the greaseproof paper that you received it with. If you are going to open it for a while, hang it in a cool, dry place; if you are going to open it immediately, leave it in a place at room temperature so that the fat melts. And take your ham holder and a serrated knife: a ham knife, a paring knife and a sharpening steel.

If you are going to eat it straight away, you should start with the butt, so the ideal is to place the hoof upwards. When doing so, you have to make a cut with a serrated knife close to the shank, thus removing the rind. But do it in the opposite direction of your hand, so you don't hurt yourself. After this, remove the first layers of fat, which are yellow. Then you will find the thin, white ones, which we recommend you keep to protect the ham .

Cut along the back of the meat into slices, and don't stop until you reach the bone. The goal is to make them thin and small, with some fat and lean. When you've finished that part, turn it over and start again.

Hoof up or down?

This will depend on when you are going to eat it. If you intend to eat it quickly, it is best to put the hoof facing up. The cuts will be more precise and you will be able to easily turn it over to continue eating it. But why facing up? Because this area is fresh and juicy.

However, if you are going to eat it for a few days, it is best to turn it upside down. The reason is that the cure is more potent in this form and it is a bit drier, so if you let it continue to cure it will get harder and harder. The best thing is to eat this one and let the other continue to cook little by little.

It also depends on your tastes. If you prefer a drier ham , start with the hoof facing down. iberian ham is delicious no matter how you eat it, you just have to choose the way that suits you best.
