△This video is all about:
1. How to remove salt from Spam.
2. How to marinate and cook Spam in a carbon steel pan.
By the way, I simply love SPAM if it is prepared properly!
I just added a link to those mixing bowls I used: amzn.to/3yRakBy
I purchased my Ballarini carbon steel pan from Amazon: amzn.to/3uFANiE
I found the 11-inch model worked the best because it was big enough to contain almost all the spam. There were about 4-5 pieces of spam I added after the majority was removed from the pan.

Does anyone recall needing to open the Spam can with the special "key" that came attached to the top of the can? After the slit in the "key" had the starting piece of the metal strip that wrapperd all around the can threaded through, you would start evenly, nicely turning the strip. It wrapped in one big metal curlicue thing around the "key" all around the can, back to where it began so the lid could lift off the top. Circa de 1964-ish when I was about 10 yrs old, my grandmother, spam-feeder, would let me very, very, very CAREFULLY (because it was a thin SHARP metal edge I was dealing with - hugh potential for getting some nasty finger decapitations if not very, very, very careful!) unwind the metal seal thingy off of the "key", throw it away, and keep the "key" - MY VERY OWN "key" to MY house, my car, my garage or whatever I fantasized it for at the moment! I did it every time I could and would have hundreds had I saved them all. I saved none but I sure have hundreds of special memories of the tons of fun I had from getting to do that! Now opening the can is easier and more efficient but lacks so much adventure!

@markweber1807 2 года назад

Yes I most certainly do remember that key thingy as you say

@elizabetholiviaclark Год назад

I'm in my sixties, and I remember that key well. I haven't bought a can of Spam for many years, but I guess now it won't be as much fun to open. The threat of an arterial spurt made life so much more interesting.

@billc6087 Год назад

Indeed, I remember the days of the 'key'! Sometimes the strip would *break* just after starting and my dad would find some pliers in our kitchen junk drawer (doesn't everyone have a junk drawer?) and he would work the end free and reattach the key and try again.

@glendastouffer1470 Год назад

I remember cutting myself many, many times. It was as sharp as a razor. As children we weren't allowed to open the cans ourselves. We used it in peas and carrot salad, which was a recipe we got off the can in the 60's. It was called "Spam ham salad."! We loved saying it's name! Does anyone else remember that recipe??

Just slice it and fry it in a little oil, that's how I did it if I ate it with eggs for breakfast when I was a very young adult, my parents never boiled it either and to be honest it never crossed my mind and to take all of the salt out I don't think I'd want it that bland.

Slice and boil Spam for 5 minutes or until slices float. Let stand in hot water 5 more minutes. Remove slices to strainer, rinse well. Set slices on paper towels to dry. Stack slices for slicing. Cut into squares Sauce: prepared teriyaki sauce, Brown sugar, mix well Melt butter in pan Fry desalted spam in butter until caramelized on both sides. Add sauce, labor of love Let spam caramelize to bring out flavor. Do not over crowd pan. Poor pan drippings over spam. To clean pan, add water while hot to loosen caramelized sugar before going to sink. This looks great. Nice job.

Just an observation. We do most of our grocery shopping at Wakmart. A can of spam sells for $3.38 . A few months ago they were completely out of Spam so I purchased a can of Great Value luncheon meat for $2,28 . To my surprise , I could not tell any difference between the 2 products except that the Walmart brand seems slightly less salty . They look identical in side by side comparison . Since then I have been buying Great Value Lite Luncheon meat which is a blend of pork and chicken with less sodium . It taste and looks exactly like Spam as well. The Spam and the GV luncheon meat list the exact same ingredients. It's a no brainer at $1.10 less per can. One more thing , Dollar General sells Clover Valley Luncheon meat that is exactly the same as well for cheap. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised if you try these.

Personally I like Treet Meat better than SPAM or the GVLL. I am however the kind of person that would shoot myself before removing the salt. In my particular area Treet Meat is the cheapest of the cheap. I love it though, particularly with Glory brand canned collard greens. Shit ton of salt though, maybe even enough to outright kill a person with COPD.

If you don't do this process before adding in the teriyaki sauce, you get salt overload. Of course we have regular spam musubi. In which case you don't really need to take the salt out. The rice balances out the saltiness. Try taking the spam after the boiling process and make a egg and spam sandwich. Just an over easy egg and a slice of spam with a dab of mayo on buttered toast. It's one of my favorite comfort foods. Aloha from Hawaii

Nice video. I opened a can of SPAM last week (6.1.23), that had a 2014 'use before' date...9 years too old. It was nice and pink and tasted fine due to plenty of salt. I use a cold water method of soaking and most salt is gone in a couple of hours after several rinses. Goes great with scrambled eggs. So, SPAM lasts many years after the suggested use date, probably 20 years.

If in a survival situation, might not have a lot of water to de-salt it. Perhaps even running under tap water would at least take some of the salt out. BTW spam is on menus at most restaurants in Hawaii since WW2 when it was imported for military and civilizations liked it too.

@@r7eagle_ 🌿 I agree that Oleo was found to be a poor choice due to the trans fats and it also didn't taste good in my opinion. But these plant-based butters are not only the most delicious of all...one is made from avocado oil and one from olive oil and one from coconut oil, I believe. If we're willing to try new things that we know aren't the healthiest, why not get a small tub of a flavor and try that?

@mynameisnobody777 2 года назад

Just a friendly hello... Salt won't actually mess up your blood pressure (despite what the doc says). That myth is still going around. My doc told me this too, but it's bull. Salt is an essential nutrient and good for ya. If you eat too much, your body will get rid of it without concern (but usually your own taste buds will stop you from eating too much)... and it's nearly impossible to "eat too much". There is actually no legit science that proves salt does anything to your heart but this has been parroted so long that people (including many doctors) still believe and keep repeating it. Sugar, on the other hand, is really the culprit; it's WAY more detrimental to heart health. Recommend checking out the book The Salt Fix. I stopped limiting salt a couple of years ago and enjoy it in my food now. My blood pressure is now totally normal too! No heart issues. We've been lied to about this wonderful little mineral made by God.

@gavreynolds2689 2 года назад

Oh, you definitely need to fry it then. It is the tastiest way to eat it. Sliced thin though (thinner than him, is how I prefer it.) Not a fan of the texture of it out of the can, so if sliced thin and fried, it changes the texture enough that it is quite nice actually. If it's too thick, it retains some of that texture. Frying SPAM, is like the difference between plain balony and fried, if you've ever tried that? It's like a night and day difference, right?! Same here, it's very different and better when fried.

@@thomasayer7511 Well yeah, but in a shtf situation or disaster, where are you going to get bacon? Lol. And, we've already seen supply issues and shortages of many things in the last couple of years and it's getting worse. We're pretty lucky Pork has been one of the most readily available meats throughout the pandemic and this. Beef had shortages and was and is getting more expensive constantly and even chicken where I lived was in short supply, temporarily and saw massive price increases. Yet I still find pork sales/specials regularly and in more supply than beef or chicken and not once has it been in short supply near me (and we have no pig farms right locally, so....). Matter of fact, sometimes we were swimming in Pork really and I'm still getting deals on it. If you can call them deals, these days, lol. Bacon prices sure shot up, but other forms of pork are still very reasonable like chops, peameal bacon, lions, hams etc. And now and then I still get bacon specials. But I also ain't fussy about buying fattier cheaper bacon either, fat is flavour and good for you. Even the higher end stuff goes on sale pretty regularly too though. But sale price now, is last year's regular price.

Before there was Low Sodium Spam, my Gram would soak it in milk or buttermilk to get the salt out. It worked great.

@Earthgal1964 2 года назад

That gets the fish taste out of fish as well. My niece won't eat fresh fish unless it's been soaked in buttermilk first. lol

Just do whatever is good for removing the salt. Don't buy low sodium Spam; it doesn't taste good

@johnkochanowski8194 2 года назад

I love this idea! I can’t wait to try it. I would like to suggest that after cooking you might want to put the cooked slices on a cooling rack. That way they cool from air circulation. When you add them to the Pyrex when still hot they actually will steam each other and lose the caramelization that you achieved.

I remember when I was younger and growing up my grandma would boil hotdogs instead of grilling or any other way of cooking. After watching your video, it now makes complete sense on why she did what she did. I'll be sure to start doing this method now that I know why she did it!

@dappledsunshine 2 года назад

This is awesome. I've done this with hotdogs for 35+ years (I mean boiling them within an inch of their life to get rid of the heavy salts). Never thought to use the same method on Spam - thanks so much for the video! And also never thought to make teriyaki spam either (or teriyaki hot dogs for that matter LOL) - definitely sounds like something to try!! :o)

Pro tip for Great Value brand products: They are the same as "name brand products" made in the same factory only different packaging. I worked in a factory that produced both Big Chief (popular name brand in Michigan) and Great Value sugar. Wal-mart makes deals with producers so the company doesn't have to do it themselves which saves Wal-mart and their customers money.

@Frxstynah Год назад

Nice idea for the spam 👍 we also boil hotdogs and bacon to remove a lot of the salts and nitrites then transfer to another pan to finish frying similar to your method here. Thanks for sharing

@thefucrew9865 10 месяцев назад

Great recipe, Sir !!! Thank you for sharing !!! Will be trying that soon. Keep up the great work !!!

@CaptStinkwater 2 года назад

Great to know. I noticed however you can remove more salt by making all of your cuts before boiling, rather than having two cutting steps. The more you cut it, the more surface area it has to expose to the hot water.

@r7eagle_ 2 года назад

Zack. Agreed but I just wanted to keep is simple to begin with.

@@r7eagle_ This looks so delicious, I’m drooling! My mother made Spam when I was a kid, but she didn’t take out the salt. Now, thanks to you, Spam is back on our menu, complete with Teriyaki sauce and brown sugar. The butter we use is Kerry Gold, from Ireland! Thank you so much!

Sir, you are a Gem !! I cant believe I watched 30 minutes of a spam cooking video. But learnt a lot from it, thank you much. I'm sure "Gordon Ramsay" would even say he has nothing on you .... " I love it" .. and I watch a lot of Ramsay.. Also that is the best Spam I have ever seen you put your heart and soul into that and it shows. Thanks again and have a wonderful day.

My grandmother taught me to do the same thing with corned beef. Put it in boiling water and let it sit for a while than rinse and cook. Really helped with the salt.

@elizabethbrown1276 Год назад

I've always liked spam so I I'm looking forward to trying your recipe and I'm going to order a slicer like the one you have. Anybody that objects to the use of butter probably shouldn't be eating spam either. I was surprised to find out that spam is hugely popular in Okinawa Japan and they live into their 90's on average. I enjoyed your video, thanks.
