My salami and my cheese keeps for a good, long while. I guess because salami is dried and cheese is cheese. But no matter what I do my ham gets all wet and slimy. I flatten out the bag, get all the air out, but I still end up never finishing an order because it gets all wet and slimy before I can do so. Is my only option to buy better quality ham? Would that even help?

Tupperware?

 

[Drazgul]

But wet and slimy feels best.

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

that happens to all cooked meats due to age. turkey, ham, bacon, etc.

best is to buy less more frequently.

also, do not eat it when its turns wet and slimy.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

wet and slimy is flavor.

 

[Ultima_5]

I pat most of my deli meat down with a paper towel before I make a sandwich

 

[GreedZen]

Eat them faster or put them in airtight bags with saran wrap between slices in the freezer and thaw as needed. Those cuts aren't intended to be stored for long unless frozen.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Get a ham bag.

 

[Sinfamy]

Mix that meat water with some pickle juices.

I know. It's so gross.

 

[M0nochromatic]

I like my meats extra slimey

 

[More Fun To Compute]

They do add water to processed meat.

 

[FyreWulff]

Premake all your sandwiches entirely, then bag them and freeze them. Throw them in your lunch bag or just set them in a fridge if you don't have one, they'll thaw by lunch time on their own.

 

[Sinfamy]

Put your ham in a bag of rice.

 

[jello44]

It's just a little slimy, it's still good, it's still good!

 

[Sword Familiar]

How about freezing half of it and bring it out when you've finished the other half?

 

[terrisus]

So you're saying shoot it out of a sewage pipe?

Get smoked ham, not boiled ham.

Boiled ham has tons of moisture. That's the slimy and wet stuff.

You're welcome.

that's her way of telling you to jam it in man

Smart thinking. But is smoked ham appreciably more expensive?

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Freeze it in slices, as other people said.

That sounded dirty.

Depends. Do you get your ham from a deli case sliced by a butcher per pound?

Or do you get the stuff in plastic a la Oscar Meyer?

I really can't stand the prepackaged stuff personally.

Oh no, always from the deli counter.

 

[Alebrije]

Wet and slimy = Bacteria

I do not keep jam more than few days once oppened. There is a kind of jam called JAMON SERRANO , it last for weeks even out of the fridge

 

[entremet]

Just get smoked ham instead.

this guy knows what's up. cured ham can be damn good as well.

 

[kitchenmotors]

Mmhmm.

I have this problem with lettuce. It gets all slimy very quickly, especially shredded lettuce. It ends up being such a waste.

Do you know if super markets typically have a store brand smoked ham? Or would I have to go Boar's Head?

I just ask for smoked ham. I don't know their brands.

Big spender huh.

 

[entremet]

Not really. I don't notice the price difference. On the big board they're all the same price roughly, which chicken being the cheapest.

You can get very expensive smoked artisanal hams, but that's not what I'm talking about. Those are more for the the holidays. I'm just talking about the butcher deli case.
