STEWING HAM
Attach the lid to the ham maker after you have fi lled it and attached the thermometer; the handle
will come out automatically. Put the ham maker into a pot and fi ll the pot with water approx.
1 cm below the level of the thermometer holder. Heat the water to 80 °C and stew the ham at this
temperature for 2 hours. The temperature of the water during the stewing process must not exceed
85 °C or drop below 75 °C. The optimum temperature of the water during the stewing process is
shown by the pink sector on the scale of the thermometer (B).
Check the temperature of the water from time to time and maintain it within the recommended
range. Remove the ham maker from the pot after two hours and cool it under running water. Strain
all excess water through the straining holes and leave the ham to cool in the refrigerator. Before
serving, unscrew the lid and slowly remove it from the vessel of the ham maker together with the
ham. Carefully cut off the stewed ham from the pressing disk and divide the ham.
Useful hint: Ham maker PRESTO can also be used to easily prepare homemade stewed ham in a hot-
air oven set to 80 °C. When preparing homemade ham in a hot-air oven, make sure that the grilling
spiral is turned off . The time of preparation of ham in a hot-air oven is 2.5 hours.
MAKING A HALF PORTION OF HAM
To make a half portion, attach the adapter for making a half portion to the pressing disk. Use one
half of all the ingredients indicated in the recipes when making a half portion. When making a half
portion, fi ll the pot with water only up to about one half of the vessel of the ham maker.
