6/30/2024 I’ve been boiling SPAM for a long time to remove salt and fat. After watching your video I realized that I do not do the second stage by letting it sit. The boiling time is essential as well as the resting time to do this properly. Thank you for sharing ❤

I can't believe how well this works. I've always liked Spam, but I've felt a little sheepish due to its reputation for chemical, saltiness, and not being cool. This method transforms Spam into something I really enjoy eating and feeling good about.

I don't like SPAM because it's so salty. But I stumbled upon your tutorial, and seeing how easy it is to de-salt it, I'm willing to give it another shot. It'll be the first time in about 50 years that I'll have eaten SPAM. It's on my grocery list now. Like it or not, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. ☺

I love this! I'm on a very restricted sodium intake due to kidney disease and even the 25% less sodium still have a lot of salt! I'm going to try this today. Thanks for better way to remove sodium 😊

Simple and to the point. You really didn't waste a move other than using a knife instead of your fingers to separate the slices. I'm subscribing because I want to see what else you have.

In Alaska we do not remove the slats and nitrates. We mix it with meats like Moose and Reindeer to add salts and fat

Thank you for the great video! I love spam but i think the light and low sodium are different tasting. This recipe helps me feel better. After my heart attack i need to watch the sodium and with your method I feel more in control. Have a great 2024!

This video was very interesting. I do not remember it being so salty when I was a kid.

I've made your salt removed SPAM a few times now... really enjoy it. One slight deviation - I make a bit more of your sauce and after the SPAM is cooked, I throw some pineapple rings in the pan and add a bit more sauce. They go great with SPAM

The first video I watched about this said 5 and 5. I'll have to try this 15/15 method.

Thank you!!! Worked like a charm! Although I had to do boil it twice ( I didn’t mind at all) I really enjoyed it. It wasn’t salty at all. It was PERFECT!!!

It's such an eye opener! What to do, what to do. Down with nitrates.

Thank you after watching this, I did much the same but then sprayed some liquid smoke on each piece and brushed it with some maple syrup, and store it in a container before frying, it's pretty good.

Corn fritters goes great with spam. I slice up a nice tomato as a side dish also. Nice cheap hardy filling meal. I fry my spam in a medium non stick fry pan using 2 tbsps of saved bacon grease.

Any idea how much sodium it actually removes. Even removing half of the less sodium is still a relatively high sodium per only 2 oz

1:00 I agree, the slicer is the way to go!

it does have 4000mg of sodium

I'm trying this little trick on smoked sausage; it should work even if it gets a little salt and some fat I will be happy

I do like to simmer my "uncured" hot dogs this way. It helps. Had a can of spamish Celebrity ham from the Dollar Tree yesterday. Made a version masubi, without additional sugar, though. I just take a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar after, as that seems to break up the toxins from the sodium nitrate, which gives me inflammatory arthritis. I have also tried simmering with a little apple cider vinegar. Also frozen shrimp/prawns have sodium phosphate, so I like to put a little vinegar and lemon in the cooking water to flush that out.

Interesting experiment! I used a big spaghetti pot with a bunch of water in it (how much? Doesn’t matter…but the more the merrier, I’ll explain). I used the original SPAM, sliced it as described, and ended up with 9 pieces-the ends I discarded as they sort-ta fell apart. I also thought upon watching the ‘slabs’ chaotically dance in the water as it reached a rolling boil (I put the slabs in when the water was at hot tap temp)…that the slabs would fall apart before the 15 minute boiling time was up (but they did not…what type of glue do they use to keep all that ‘meat’ together!?). As I watched the water (they entire time…it takes a long time to get so much water to boil!). I noticed the grease and white fat spots come to the top and too the slabs did also before the water reached a boil…! So, thinking that I don’t want to go through another cession of this I used a ladle to skim off the grease and floating fat…and replaced the water with an equal ladle full of cold water. This made the boil calm for a few shot seconds and allowed me to again skim off more of the top dregs/slag! It worked well! This saved me from going through another costly electrical charge boiling up fresh cold water. I also decided to dump the boiling water at about a bit past 15 minutes as I skimmed even more junk as the stove was turned off, into my steel sink through a spaghetti colander as it was dunked in a sink full of cold water (drain plug in sink). I believe that dumping boiling water down the drain through my garbage disposal could be detrimental to the system…So I cool the boiling water first diluting it in the sink full of cold water. I patted the slabs in paper towels and put all but one in a sealed container and ‘one’ I immediately fried and ate-there was some salt taste and the thickness of the slab was reduced by half after frying. Bottom line and why I did this? I’m now prepared for the coming utility terrorists attack and so this was only a test to see if it would be worth it to store SPAM. For me living in a totally electric household…it is a NO! I have a way to cook, get water, and keep warm, and remove wastes…but the amount of effort and materials to boil so much water just to remove the salt (I have to, so say the docs), is not worth it-even if the slabs really did taste great. If I can boil water electrically then I don’t have an emergency and so there are better things for me to eat. But I thank you for the info and experiment and I will be checking what else you are…’cooking up’

It's just as easy to make your own homemade Spam as it is to make meatloaf. That way you can control the salt, and there's no nitrates.

When Rensing shouldn't you move the pieces around so the sides get rinsed... if they are stuck together the water won't rinse the sides because they're stuck to each other

I cuuld see the salt boiling out but how do you know the nitrates are diminished?

Thanks. Necessary for some "old" people that ate too much Spam "back in the day' ! But, of course, in the future, when all we have is canned meat - - - - it will taste great!

Does this genuinely remove nitrates? Colon cancer wants to know.

this should say reduce... its the nitrate that give it the color.

SPAM should sell the same product under a different name and see if it sells better.

😢 I miss the Cicadas 😢

I would use a fresh bowl of boiling water to let it sit in for the additional 15 minutes.

Did you ever hear of low sodium spam.

Maybe not a great idea to put the first water--with all the fat--down the drain? Fat clogs drains.

Just curious where did you grow up? I’m hearing an upper Midwest accent?

Anyone with health issues like congestive heart failure be warned that you still don’t know how much sodium is left in your food. Stay safe.

Wondering now if this will work on pepperoni and bacon.. the poison they use plus dextrose makes my heart feel like it's gonna explode. Vascular inflammation. Sure like my pizza😂

I bet once you do this, all the flavor is removed too.

I did that 3 times before it was reasonably edible.

It might decrease the taste, but it will never take out the sodium or nitrate by much. A lot of work for a few degrees of sodium and nitrate decrease. But if it makes you feel better! Why not. Not for me.

Um, no way.

Kinda obvious ain't it?

0:14 That's a cheap stove.

Why don't you just slide and turn the pan around every minute or so if you have a problem with one side cooking so long. And did you ever hear of a food brush?Pour the sauce on top of the meat and spread it out with a brush. And did you ever hear of a modern invention called rubberized tongs To turn your meat over without using that stupid fork. And at the end scraping the pan that's butter and also the very larger amount of fat from the spam. If you grab the pieces the right way with a tongue you could throw away your fork and your knife. Not sure how long you've been cooking. You must think people like to look at your hand.😅 . Cook away👨‍🍳👨‍🍳👨‍🍳 My friend.
