  • This 5-minute video is all about how to remove Sodium and Nitrates from SPAM. I used a Stainless Steel Pan to boil the SPAM. This procedure is perfect if you cannot tolerate the amount of Sodium (Salt) or Nitrates in SPAM.
    Note: Low Sodium SPAM also has too much Sodium!
    OOPS: Had to correct spelling (Rince to Rinse) and republish!

    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. ☺

  • @get1949

    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’

    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👨‍🍳👨‍🍳👨‍🍳
