Just did this, took me about 10 minutes, pretty easy! A couple notes that others might find helpful: I dried mine off before starting and also, I made sure I sharpened my knife. I also cut a nice, personal-sized roast for dinner before I started cutting the slices. Looks like I'm going to be eating ham for a while!
Dude either you had a big meal before this video or you have a helluva lot of willpower! I usually have half the ham devoured by the time I'm done carving. Well done.
This is a Good ham. Cheapest ive paid is 1.50 oer pound. Usually around 9 lbs minus weight of the ham bone. Currently are 3 dollars per pound on sale. Gonna buy one might try one side for steaks. Was gonna run like 4 pounds threw my meat slicer real thin in 200 gr portions for lunch meat to. 4 pounds should equal 20 bags. Then rest in steaks. Ham rules!
I just bought a spiral cut from Aldi for .85 cents a pound. I always cut up a spiral as I find it gets dry if I bake it. And yes, ham does indeed rule.
Ham is probably the best economical meat that everyone in my family loves. I cook a whole ham rather than cut up before cooking. But I don't find such large hams except at Easter and Thanksgiving and I don't have a freezer to stock up. This means I usual buy hams around $1.60/lb. and they are 7 to 8 pounds. We (wife and 2 boys) eat a big weekend meal and then I save most of the rest for sandwiches through the week. Nothing makes a better sandwich than leftover ham. And I save 1/2 lb. more plus your bone cut to make beans and ham which will usually make 2 meals with only cornbread for a side. Use a pressure cooker with that center bone and 2 lbs. of beans and you only need to cook 1 to 1.5 hours to have everything falling off the bone..That's three meals and several excellent sandwiches for lunch..Do you just pan fry your ham steaks? Probably a silly question, but I've never cooked a slice of ham..I need to buy one of those food savers. I didn't know they were so inexpensive..Great video. I'll be taking a look at others you've posted.
I usually throw the sliced ham in the microwave to heat it up-and have fried the ham with eggs. . I wanted to get a pressure cooker, what kind do you have? I would love to try the fast ham/bean soup. . Food savers on craigslist are cheap and you can get bags on e-bay or at aldi food stores.
I'm using a 6 quart Power Pressure Cooker XL. It's sturdy and the perfect size for a family of four. It was a gift from my mother-in-law and greatly appreciated as I was unfamiliar with the benefits of a pressure cooker for any 'wet' recipe (and some other items too). Stews, tough meats, and Italian sauces are done in half the time, maybe less. But when I have to replace it, I'm seriously considering one of the Instant Pots. I can't speak to their quality since I don't own one, but if you surf recipes on RUclips as much as I do, the Instant Pot has a TON of chefs demonstrating their recipes..Pressure cookers are based on physics. If you raise the pressure in a constant volume, you get higher temperature. My cooker's highest pressure setting is for canning. I've started cooking my recipes on that canning settings and the cooking time has come down. I'm still tweaking and learning, but this utensil is a must for a serious cook interested in getting a meal on the table quickly.
As another viewer said, is exactly what I was looking for! I bought a couple shank hams from Aldi and want to cut them up without cooking the whole thing first. Thanks!
Yes-there is alot of fat on a regular ham. I find the spirals have all that surface fat trimmed-but dry out when baked. And as far as that bone....I boil that sucker for 8 hours-throw in carrots-celery-cabbage and a pound of ham and it is a dream.

One of the best videos on the net for the act of cutting a shank portion ham by far, Great job!!
Thanks for the comment-these hams are a great value and taste great.
Thanks for watching
I bought an Aldi ham yesterday for 99¢ a pound. This is exactly the video I needed!
great hams-good price
I don't think I would like the steaks that are cut with the grain rather than across. It would make them tough and harder to cut at the table.
Agreed if we were talking beef. Ham is easy to cut and is almost never tough.
@@haparoundthehouse6618 good point
He is cutting thick slices, so once the slice is cut, it can be laid flat and the cut across the grain. I do this all the time when I debone the ham.
Yep, boiled dinner comes to mind.
Absolutely the best deal in supermarkets, especially in 2023 lol
And ham is a pretty flexible meat-all around $ saver.
Exactly what I was looking for after somebody gave me one of those Aldi hams. Great info--thanks!
Good, I'm glad you could use the video, those are some great hams, and they are fully cooked, that means eat while you carve.....

All very good points thank you. Hope you make a boiled dinner with the bone, boil it for 7 hours add the veggies you like. Good cheap eats.
Thanks for this. Just looked at 3 carving videos. This suits my needs.
Happy carving-
Freezing ham changes it's texture and flavor in my opinion.
yes, it does-fresh is always best
Good video. Good job. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Enjoy the ham-thanks for watching

I was on my best behavior. thank you for watching
My local ALDIs never had the advertised meat in stock when I get there.
that stinks-

Those other videos show it differently how to cut a bone-in ham. Not sure there's a wrong or right way after watching this.

Thanks, I will have to check the insta-pots out. @@maxduncan3392
Keep in mind that ham is cooked to begin with.
true, so when you are carving it, you can eat-n-carve
holiday special means it cost more
thanks for watching

Good, glad the video could help you-enjoy your ham.
I think it is already fully cooked and can be eaten just the way it is right? at least I hope so, I just ate a bunch.
@@CliffCarson yep!
Title should have been how to butcher a ham' You have no knife skills at all and use dull knives
Should have hired you, with your legendary knife skills and outstanding social graces, as an extra on set to give my pointers.
thanks for the comment
i'm a sucker for this deal at grocery store, except you pay for a lot of fat and huge bone inside. it's all good.
Yes-there is alot of fat on a regular ham. I find the spirals have all that surface fat trimmed-but dry out when baked.
And as far as that bone....I boil that sucker for 8 hours-throw in carrots-celery-cabbage and a pound of ham and it is a dream.
Dear God, please don't let people do this to a good ham. Oh Lordy, what an unskillful shambles. You're better just buying Spam.
So glad you enjoyed the video.

What about Navy Bean Soup. . .
Yep, boil that bone add a good amount of ham and you can do just about anything.
Appreciate the effort but I would NEVER carve a ham this way! Cut cross the grain and you will have easily chewable slices of ham!
Agreed if we were talking beef. Ham is easy to cut and is almost never tough.
You totally destroyed that ham.
I had a hard time watching that..
Thanks for hanging in there and watching.
poor ham
