I checked the brand today. Looks rather large.

Ick- why are you even looking at a canned ham?

[jmcquown]

I'd like to know why she reports on every single thing she shops for.

[Julie Bove]

Because I knew I had seen them there and sw was asking about them. I don't
eat ham of any kind.

[Julie Bove]

I didn't shop for it. sw had asked about canned hams recently and I knew
that I had seen them there but didn't remember the brand. So that's why I
posted it.

What size is too large?

Canned ham is typically available in three pounds and five pounds. I
used to buy the three pound size, I didn't think it too large.
Sometimes the five pound size was on sale at considerable savings so
I'd buy that, it's quite manageable when you know how to prepare it in
several different ways.
Do you have an URL from Winco showing that ham? It appears the
Dubuque packing company has been gone for several years:

There's nothing bad about canned ham, the premium ones are quite good
and really no different from what folks have sliced at their deli...
if you can slice canned ham thinly like you get at a deli there is no
difference. What kind of ham do you eat, Oscar Mayer?

At least it's about food... much better than all the politics and
ridiculous drama about folk's private lives. I found it interesting
since I haven't seen Dubuque products in many years so I did some
research and read some interesting history about the now defunct
Dubuque Packing Company. I used to buy Dubuque products, they were
pretty good. I searched, I can't find any Dubuque canned ham at
Winco.

[Brooklyn1]

I don't consider that any great achievement... soon as folks prove the
dwarf wrong (which is often) they go into his *claimed* killfile.

I don't think Winco lists their products online and I didn't look at the
size. Just looked like a pretty big can like maybe 10" tall. It was above
my head so I didn't really look at it. The one and only time I ever bought
a canned ham was many years ago. It was quite small. I think that one was
Dak. It was shelf stable.

Guess I've never had a premium one, but uncanned are easily available
all the time. I just see them of more of an emergency item...I have
had Oscar Meyer ham, but it was thin cut for sandwich lunchmeat.

[merryb]

Yeah, the Dak ones are the ones I see. Probably have one in the garage
in our emergency supplies for when the big one hits!

Good canned hams are....NOT SPAM ! The ones that are perishable and found in the store refrigerator are actually better than the smoked hams and pork butts found in clear wrappers and nets with the bone in. Those are too salty, fatty, have a thick layer of gristle around them and a big bone, making it hard to carve....and they are more expensive ! These good canned hams are a pure piece of cured ham meat, and are skinless, boneless, 97% fat-free and never mushy or grey in color when cooked, like the shelf-stable ones that are way too over processed and are SPAM quality ham products. Their brands are Dak, Plumrose and Celebrity. I am a big fan of the canned (perishable) ones like from the brands Armour, Hormel and Dubuque; (available in 3 lb. and 5 lb. sizes.) In fact, because they are salted, cured and contain preservatives, remain fresh and edible a full year after the expiration date ! You should rinse it well, score on top in an "X" pattern cross-hatch and glaze with a jarred good ham glaze. I add a little mustard, honey, soy sauce and white pepper to it and spread it generously all over the top and sides. Now bake at around 450 degrees until it becomes crispy around the sides and the glaze bubbles. I like it very well done and a bit charred ! It is a great buffet table favorite, sliced thin for sandwiches, or sliced thick as a cutlet-style piece of meat with potatoes. Placed in the refrigerator, it is even better cold in salads, antipastos, sandwiches and so on ! Not to mention, these hams feed a lot of people and are economical.....and absolutely delicious !

Humm!

I generally keep a shelf stable sort about but I never really thought
about the difference. Definately have had Dak, not sure of Plumrose or
Celerity. I don't use them as a baked ham though. I use them as
chopped parts to add to other dishes such as a bean pot, or a Ham, Mac,
and Cheese sort of thing.

When I get a real ham, it's not in a can but often I need something
like 1/2 lb for a recipe (and the rest magically finds a home) so they
work for me in those situations.

BTW, have you ever tried a true fresh ham? That means same cut but not
cured or smoked. Sheldon is the only person besides me that I can
recall mentioning them. The taste is not the same but they are fork
tender when cooked right.

Back in the old days, we bought them and used them because they were fairly
cheap for the 5 pound can, the brand was Dubuque and they were fine, but I
definitely don't prefer them, and I like Spam. I got a good deal this
morning at the supermarket, they were selling really nice bacon at the
butcher counter for 2.99 per pound, I bought several pounds to freeze, and
also the FF turkey roasts with white and dark meat were marked down 3.00
each so I bought
2 of those for the freezer too. All, in all, a good day grocery shopping.

Our Amana Colonies restaurants serve a cured ham cut into 1/2 inch dice and pickled along with
onion chunks, and served cold like a regular pickle. It is really, really good.
