城市火腿
What is it?
Ham comes from the hind leg of a pig, and if it’s called ham, it usually means it’s cured (though you do occasionally see “fresh hams,” which are the same cut, but uncured).
There are two basic methods for curing ham:dry curing—which produces “country hams,” as well as the renownedprosciutto di Parmafrom Italy andjamon serranofrom Spain—andwet curing, which produces the “city ham” that graces countless Easter buffets and is familiar to deli shoppers.
Kitchen math:
Feeding a crowd? A half ham will serve up to 14 people; for even more guests, choose a whole ham.
How to choose:
如果您要购买城市火腿以服务人群（例如，为了复活节或圣诞节自助餐），可以做出一些选择。有四个不同的城市火腿：
HamThis highest grade of ham has a clean, delicate pork flavor and a fine, lean texture that resembles that of a chop. It’s considerably more expensive than other grades, though, and your local supermarket may not carry it.
Ham in natural juices实际上，“天然果汁”实际上是加水（由于多余的水，该级的许多火腿比其原始重量高出10％）。烘烤时，这些火腿的品质优美，添加的水确实有助于确保它们保持多汁。这个等级是一个很好的价值，并且在大多数超市都很容易获得。
Ham, water addedThe percentage of added water in this grade will be stated on the label (usually in fine print). A ham that says “water added—15%” means it weighs 15% more than its raw weight.
Ham and water product这款最低级泵的大多数生产商尽可能多地进入火腿，这增加了重量，并使他们可以以较低的价格出售它。如果水量超过50％，则必须将火腿标记为“水和火腿产品”，因为重量比肉类多。
在这些等级中，最好的选择是与火腿或火腿一起搭配天然果汁。两个等级都可以使用bone-in或者boneless. Whenever you’re cooking a whole or half ham, choose the bone-in version, since meat cooked on the bone will generally have better flavor.
Finally, if you’re serving a half ham, you have the choice of the小腿(lower) half or thebutt（上半）。屁股往往非常美味和柔软，但其中包含髋骨的一部分，这可能使笨拙的雕刻造成。同时，小腿更容易雕刻，但更艰难和咀嚼。
