This has to be better than the mystery meat/salt block in a can. Everyone at work is turning on to smoking/grilling at home and have commented they are now ruined for eating out. We are taking back our food! Thank you for being a huge part of that trend Mr. Soo!
I ate spam for many years growing up. I've always enjoyed it with eggs or rice or musubi. Your spam looks much tastier. Looking forward to the next Spam I am video to drop! Excellent job Harry!
I have been looking to cook SPAM for a while now and I've been all over the net and back again. A few things I've learnt, which may help you get a better comparison are:- 1) Let the salt, herbs and spices [not water] work their magic overnight in the fridge. You may have gotten more bang for your buck with the celery seed having more time to cure the meat. 2) Grind the meat twice, separating the meat from the fat and grinding them individually. 3) Use a food processor. Blend spiced meat 1st, then after a smooth paste add fat and iced water to prevent mixture heating up too much. These little tweaks would give you a much better comparison and a far superior product, but still in line with the original style [or lack of] of SPAM. Good effort Harry for 1st time.
Just found your comments and suggestions. Totally agree with the 2 x minced. I tried this recipe and did 3 x minced (1 x mince, 2 x food processor) and it was naturally so much smoother. Superior to my last attempt. Thanks for the suggestion, I simply and naively followed the directions without thinking it through.
Totally love the here is how to start from scratch. Curious though on how this was like so huge from the Pacific theater. Left over or cheap enough, work it and make it good thing? Korean made some wow stuff, hot, but all the way back to no face melting after four bites, what is the best go to locally?
Spam was introduced into Hawaii, Asia, and islands in the Pacific and was incorporated into native cuisine. I think it has become a unique part of the history and effects of U.S. culinary influence around the world. I love kimchee too!
Very interesting,yours looks much better.The nitrates in spam is what I could never get past,I suppose it makes it last longer though...good job Harry this I will try.!!!
Cannot wait to try this probably later on in August after I get home from vacation. I will probably double up on a ready made tin foil loaf pan in the oven or on the WSM. I want to do at least 1 pan on the WSM with some apple wood for smoke. Looking forward to additional recipes for the spam and uses for the fat. Another home run out of the park.
The difference between your home made spam and the canned spam is probably on par with the difference between your home made spaghetti and meatballs and a 98¢ can of Chef Boyardee spaghetti and meatballs! I don’t eat canned spam, but what you made looked pretty darned good! Chris
Hi just found you and wanted a good recipe for making my own spam and yours seems the best to me, and you are right, Hawaii leads in the consumption of spam in America, but it is Guam that leads the consumption of spam in the world fun fact
I happen to like Spam, but this sounds much better, I like the idea of treating it like a pork meatloaf. No nitrates a plus. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎.
Harry, I'm not much of a spam guy; though I like regular ham. I suspect that convenience and shelf life were as much of a selling point for Spam in the early days as flavor was (bomb-shelter protein). I think I would probably like your version better, as I like homemade sausage. Sausage-making videos would be great; especially cased and/or double-duty recipes that could be used as bulk or cased sausage. Have a great day and thanks for bringing us a variety of content.
Thanks for encouraging folks to use the metric system. You're right, it's definitely easier for calculating most anything... mass, volume, length, etc. I received the nickname "Spamcan" at the RAFGSA from the Chief Flying Instructor, Eric (RIP), at RAF Watisham in the early 70's. (That's the nickname the English gave to the GI's who came over during the WWII.) Guess what... I love Spam! Last dish I made with it was Spam Musubi (What else could I do... I spent three wonderful years in Japan at Yakota AB, 67-70! I ate all sorts of Sushi, Sashimi, and loved Katsu-Don!)
Love it! I've made Spam and cooked it Sous Vide and it was a hit. I don't have a grinder so I put the pork in a food processor and think and came closer to the consistency of the canned spam.
Great video. Your Spam looks really good. I love terrines and headcheese, which I saw in the video. I heard that Spam was a way to get easy and inexpensive protein, when rationing happened in World War 2. The canning of it made it store easily, without worry of refrigeration. Cheers, Harry.
Harry... I, too, have an obsessive love affair with Spam. TWO THINGS! You mentioned 1937, that's when it "officially" came out commercially but it's first iterations were even earlier, in the heart of the great depression, when it was developed as a "humanitarian" food. :) Spam was made famous in WWII because it was a shelf-stable, nutritious food that didn't require refrigeration so was ideal to ship to soldiers in their rations BUT, back in the depression, when it was developed as a cheap way to feed a calorie dense food to starving people, it was a soup kitchen staple. Pork is way easier to raise than beef and the shoulder is a cheap cut with the fat content needed to provide the calories and nutritional fat needed to bolster starving people. Unlike the Spam of today, they left in the collagen which breaks down from the fibrous tissues so it had that nice, tasty gelatin in the can which is NOT "fat" and is good tasting and good for you! They took it out in the 70s and Spam hasn't been the same, since. LOL After WWII, the U.S. brought it to the islands for the same reason. A cheap, stable way to feed starving people. It came full circle. Second, Spam is a mix of shoulder AND HAM. I know this point is in contention but I'm willing to put $$ where my mouth is... LOL It's a ratio of 5-1, shoulder to ham. (Danish canned ham works really well alongwithyour shoulder). Slice both and cube, like you did, then grind separately, ham then shoulder... Or the other way, just separately. Then mix in a bowl and cover with the slurry and Harry's your uncle. Beyond that, you got it, baby! Good video. Loco moco rocks. Okay, 1 small bone to pick, point of order. And especially if you're going to call it a "tureen" which, as you showed in the video, is a uniformly compressed block. Don't brown it on top, keep it covered with foil for the first 20min or so, then DOUBLE foil it for the rest of the cook. When you pull it, put a heavy weight, like a brick on top to get a better, more uniform texture and let it set in the fridge over night. What you made, browning and not compressing, is just an upside down meatloaf! Spam out of a can is not brown! LOL... Also, it's a perfect food to can. If you put it in jars and can it in a pressure canner, its shelf stable for years. :) I'm done "pickin'." Still love ya, brother. ;)
@@rweems1971 You can pressure can it, follow the instructions for meat that come with the canner or kn TH-cam, etc. (In other words, its eek-oclock in the AM, u dont remember and am not about to look it up...lol) 30min rings a bell. It has to be enough time to equalize the temp and kill any "bugs." You can also vacuum seal it and freeze it for months, even a year or better. But canning is great, just be sure to use straight sides jars or you'll never ge tdd it out!!
Thank you for sharing, if you to mix the meat when you put all your seasoning, at least for 15 minutes in high in the kitchenet, more your mix smooth the look of the meat will be, I grinder twice.

Celery seed is not a substitute for curing salt. Cultured celery juice powder is. It is produced entirely different with the intentions of releasing natural nitrates from fresh celery stalks ( not the seeds). If you’re making your own SPAM, you can add nitrates at only 0.250% and you’ll be fine. To be honest, you may be ingesting more carcinogenic hydrocarbons in smoked foods.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think in Latin it's "Solar dosis tacit venenum" which is Dr. Paracelsus the 15th century father of toxicology who said "The Dose is the Poison"
I would consider adding a bread crumb or fine crackers as a filler/binder as well as using a 3/16ths grinding disc. Let the mixer blend in batches and I think you'll get closer...I do remember seeing more aspec in the cans too and thought the flavors were better.
Soo Sifu: You did an excellent job on this history, and cooking, lesson. I did learn a lot from yur presentation. I can imagine this as an exceptional ingredient in spam loco moco and spam fried rice. Like we say: “Going to be Ono!” That collagen from the cooked spam will definitely flavor your fried rice well. Looking forward to your next great video! Best regards; and wishes, to you, Ms. Fong, and the young man in the video! Much Aloha, Sifu!🤙🧧🌅
Spam spam spam wonderful SPAM! I couldn't believe that no one hadn't already referenced probably the greatest Monty Python Flying Circus skit of all time. Hell Harry your even making Spam wonderful. 👍
I made this and turned out great. But I used celery in my blender and didnt add water. The taste is better than spam but tastes more like sasage. I like it ! I am a Veteran and had a lot of spam for breakfast with eggs, toast and Hash Browns. Thanks love the video.
Thanks. I'm sure if you tweak it a bit, you'll get closer to the Spam recipe. Thank you for your service and sacrifice to our great country. Part of net proceeds of my BBQ business goes to Operation Homefront for the troops, veterans, and families. So when you watch my videos, the TH-cam revenue is put to philanthropy use.
When I was younger the spam had a lot of coligen in the can. The spam is probably whipped like hotdog and bologna. If you want that consistency you probably need to put it in a blender.
Thanks for the share I've been making homemade spam for quite some time now and mine looks a lot like yours I make that extra course I haven't made it with the celery so yeah celery seed but I'm going to try it thanks for the heads up

I heard if applied on the face makes you younger instead of the $300 jar of collagen firming cream at Macy's. It may be a prank though. Maybe I should try to make that video! :-)
@timothy chung Spam is made from hog shoulder meat called Boston butt. Ham comes from the hind leg of the hog. Butt is dark meat of 15 muscles. Ham is white meat if 6 muscles
I accidentally made corned beef by over marinating a tri tip in a bloody Mary base that incorporated a bunch of celery salt. Didn't know at the time that celery was a natural source of nitrates? Was a damn good tri tip beef by the way.
(Let's rap it out ) Harry I am and I love my SPAM. If you doubt, den you dont know my clout! Don you shame and don you slam, I am the BBQ king with my SPAM!!!
I froze the plastic kitchen aid grinder. The grinder has a metal bushing embedded in the plastic. Because plastic has a higher coefficient of expansion the plastic shrunk more then the metal. The plastic cracked. This crack harbors food and will be a source of contamination of any food you grind. I found a 3/4 HP Grinder on sale for $99.00 CAD. So do not waste your money on the kitchen aid grinder when you can get a real grinder for less then 2X the cost if the KA thing.
My KA grinder is all metal and no plastic parts. I'm getting the LEM grinder and stuffer as Bill Dumas the sausage master if teaching at my home in Los Angeles on Aug 16
@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ I should also mention the 3/4 HP grinder grinds much faster and bigger pieces of meat. This cuts prep time. Faster grinding mean less heat helping the meat cut cleanly. No smearing. The KA is too slow.
@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ I hope so and thank you for the recipe. The use of celery seed or celery juice containing a high enough level of nitrates to use in curing was new to me . Thank you for that as well. Happy holidays and Mahalo.
Slime slime slime! I should try to do some chemical tricks to alchemy the slime into a piece of meat. Wonder if anyone would be interested except me? :-)
What all actually goes into it for meat; is it really just pork shoulder and ham (or is it more based on fat content, like burger)? Also, there has been some speculation as to its consistency before cooking - I suspect it would be more of a toothpaste consistency than the coarse grind that Harry used here.
nope. i am sure it tastes fine but i preferr to cover it with aluminum foil immediately and not allow it to have a brown crust. the original doesn;t that is for sure, in the can. I also use nortons tender salt, which preserves the pink color. as well as use 1/5th the amount of pork in regular ham. ie 10 lbs pork + 2 lbs ham. nor do it put garlic, or onion in it. yours just isnt spam like, sorry. also, you press terrines when you chill them. cover with aluminum foil and put a brick or two on it. that compresses the texture which gives it a tighter graining, which is what you want. and make sure you fine grind the ham and pork. do thast and your spam will turn out like spam. you can also instead of baking it and making it square, process it right into canning jars in a pressure cooker (make sure the jar has no shoulder or you will never get it out. then you can store your spam unrefridgerated like the canned version, because ...well, it will be canned. 90 minutes at 20 lbs pressure.

I freeze the collagen gelatin with the spam in the freezer wrapped in vacuum bag
Spam, Minnesota’s contribution to the world. Your welcome.
We even get a post credits scene. I liked their and I am really looking forward to your future episodes on this. And hearing that your going to do some sausage vids , well I can't wait. 🐷🐽🐷
I think the spam fried rice would be awesome.
How to preserve this spam . Can I freezer.
Yes, it freezes well.
fyi -- You can boil out allot of the nitrates in spam just by boiling it in water before cooking it.
Thanks for the tip Michael!
Great vid Harry. That looked delicious and easy to do. Great instruction as usual.
Please show us how you use the collagen in your other cooking.
I heard if applied on the face makes you younger instead of the $300 jar of collagen firming cream at Macy's. It may be a prank though. Maybe I should try to make that video! :-)
@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ I'll just rely on a good looking hottie being attracted to my "distinguished" good looks.
is it fine if i use a ready made ground pork meat? thanks
Sure. Let me know how it came out
@timothy chung Spam is made from hog shoulder meat called Boston butt. Ham comes from the hind leg of the hog. Butt is dark meat of 15 muscles. Ham is white meat if 6 muscles
Intrigued...
And yes, "why would anyone make their own spam", was exactly the question that immediately sprung to mind...
I accidentally made corned beef by over marinating a tri tip in a bloody Mary base that incorporated a bunch of celery salt. Didn't know at the time that celery was a natural source of nitrates? Was a damn good tri tip beef by the way.
Yes they are found in celery seeds
Ano po ang pwede gawin kung walang oven.
Mahalo!
Great video
More ingredients more delicious, I like meat, ur new frnd done here, Godbless always watching from iligan city Phil
Thanks and welcome
Hi
Can I use rabbit meat?
k okyere yes but you need to add some form of fat as rabbits very lean
Kewl vid, enjoy watchin your channel.. Keep em comin, soo...
Thank you can I take the ingredients?
For what?
Interesting..!
Misubi and fried rice coming soon with the Spam that I saved in the freezer
I really miss the colagen.
Good job. I think it needs the pink salt (sodium nitrite) to be authentic, although I appreciate what you have done.!
Sure thing. Add some if you prefer!
(Let's rap it out ) Harry I am and I love my SPAM. If you doubt, den you dont know my clout! Don you shame and don you slam, I am the BBQ king with my SPAM!!!
Send my your MP4 Dr. G and I'll feature your rap on my next video! harsoo@yahoo.com
Great recipe. At the beginning of the video, you sharpened the knife. Please provide the brand/model of the sharpener. Thanks Boss!
It is a Rapid Steel and can be bought via my Amazon store link in Description. Thanks for using my store as it helps to fund my video production costs
I think it needs finer grind, but other than that, I'll give it a shot.
I make Texa sausage so I'm partial to a 1/4 inch die when I grind brisket so it kinda carried over to pork
It seems to me that it would be cheaper and easier to just use ground pork.
need to do like how do mince meat mix in one direction, until mashes more to be smooth, mix in some processes cooked cured ham. :) still be cheaper
Sounds great Carol!
Nice spam video you have posted. LOLOL
Congratulations
Spam misubi and fried rice coming soon
You Forgot the ham. About 1/5 as much the shoulder. If you actually visited the museum you should know that.
Thanks for the heads up! I'll look more closely the next time. Good reason to visit again. Maybe after this pandemic!
How about BBQ’ed Spam fried rice?!! 😋
Korea is the highest international consumption
I froze the plastic kitchen aid grinder. The grinder has a metal bushing embedded in the plastic. Because plastic has a higher coefficient of expansion the plastic shrunk more then the metal. The plastic cracked. This crack harbors food and will be a source of contamination of any food you grind. I found a 3/4 HP Grinder on sale for $99.00 CAD. So do not waste your money on the kitchen aid grinder when you can get a real grinder for less then 2X the cost if the KA thing.
My KA grinder is all metal and no plastic parts. I'm getting the LEM grinder and stuffer as Bill Dumas the sausage master if teaching at my home in Los Angeles on Aug 16
@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ I should also mention the 3/4 HP grinder grinds much faster and bigger pieces of meat. This cuts prep time. Faster grinding mean less heat helping the meat cut cleanly. No smearing. The KA is too slow.
You just finished saying to use metric and weight, and now you're using tablespoons. So what is it?
Sorry, I'm confused! Too much travelling between metic and non-metric countries!
So where is the ham... r u kidding . This is pork meatloaf!
Mahalo! I love Spam and I cannot lie!
Hormel started to add starch about 16 years ago before that they didn’t use starch.
Ok I saw it on the ingredient list so I added some.
Brown sugar to taste, cloves 1/4 tsp. Mustard table. Taste slury.
Sounds great!
I think you should have double ground the meat for a better comparison.
Ok. Next time
Bro. Nice try
I tried
God damnit harry, why did you have to go and spam my notifications box for ?
This video was brought to you by Adderall™
All jokes aside, really great video man 👍well done.
Thanks for watching! Take your statins!
The grinder is so tiny
Maybe Santa will get me a professional one if I am good!
@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ I hope so and thank you for the recipe. The use of celery seed or celery juice containing a high enough level of nitrates to use in curing was new to me . Thank you for that as well. Happy holidays and Mahalo.
I agree with the food processor comments. Need a good source of pink slime though. Not in a negative way.
Slime slime slime! I should try to do some chemical tricks to alchemy the slime into a piece of meat. Wonder if anyone would be interested except me? :-)
i make the real spam. i work for hormel..
What all actually goes into it for meat; is it really just pork shoulder and ham (or is it more based on fat content, like burger)? Also, there has been some speculation as to its consistency before cooking - I suspect it would be more of a toothpaste consistency than the coarse grind that Harry used here.
Scotty’s Back Yard Bbq Oh... how I wish you could share your recipe (wishful thinking) 🤔😄💫♦️🇵🇭
Right temp in mixing is the key in making spam.
I thought there was a pound of actual ham included with the pork butt? hmmm
Pork butt is actually shoulder. Spam is made from shoulder meet at the factory. I toured the Spam museum and found that out
nope. i am sure it tastes fine but i preferr to cover it with aluminum foil immediately and not allow it to have a brown crust. the original doesn;t that is for sure, in the can. I also use nortons tender salt, which preserves the pink color. as well as use 1/5th the amount of pork in regular ham. ie 10 lbs pork + 2 lbs ham. nor do it put garlic, or onion in it. yours just isnt spam like, sorry. also, you press terrines when you chill them. cover with aluminum foil and put a brick or two on it. that compresses the texture which gives it a tighter graining, which is what you want. and make sure you fine grind the ham and pork. do thast and your spam will turn out like spam. you can also instead of baking it and making it square, process it right into canning jars in a pressure cooker (make sure the jar has no shoulder or you will never get it out. then you can store your spam unrefridgerated like the canned version, because ...well, it will be canned. 90 minutes at 20 lbs pressure.
