Ham Stands: Types, features, how to choose...
1. What is a Ham Stand or Ham-Support?
A Ham Stand is an instrument used to hold/place the ham in order to cut it easily. Whether it is a Iberian shoulder or a ham, a good ham holder or Ham-support is an essential part. There are many different model and designs with a lot of features that will be discussed below.
It is very important to have a proper Ham Stand, since we are manipulating slicing knives, where a slip can cause totally avoidable scares.
2. What features should have a ham stand?
First of all we need a secure and stable ham stand, as said before we are manipulating slicing knives and there is no room for error.
Ham stand are designed to provide great stability, therefore we find tables with a considerable size and weight. The base of the ham stand is one of the key elements to obtain the needed stability, therefore this should be one of the most important features of a good ham stand.
Secondly we should look for a practical ham stand, this means that it meets the purpose for which it was acquired, which is to hold the ham / shoulder easily and safely.
On third place, it must look for an attractive and colorful design that pleases us. We may place the ham stand on a visible place like the kitchen or the dining room therefore it should have a nice design. Besides being attractive and colorful there are other very important aspects, for example having a adaptable ham stand, there are many designs/systems which allow us to adapt our ham stand to the size of our ham/shoulder, this features will be discussed below.
Finally we must look for a quality ham stand at a reasonable price. Certainly to have a good ham stand is important, but definitely the most important thing is to purchase a good ham, either Iberian or Serrano.
3. What types of Ham Stands can we find?
Nowadays there are many different Ham stand designs, some of them are more appropriate for cutting Shoulders, others have rotating grips, extending arms ...
The purpose of this page is to list the different types of ham stands, giving the user the appropriate information in order to provide him with the knowledge to decide which ham stand is the most appropriated.
4.What is a ham table?
There are also Ham-Tables (Mesas jamoneras) for professionals and businesses, Ham-Tables usually have drawers and all the utensils to provide optimal conditions for cutting Ham.
There are many different sizes, to cut one or more Hams/Shoulders simultaneously, they are usually made of top-quality pine wood and provide a elaborated image, ideal for ceremonies and banquets.
5. Which Ham Stand should I buy?
First thing we need to understand is the importance of the ham stands basis its size and weight. The table of the ham stand is of vital importance, ham stands with relatively small tables might be more appropriate for cutting shoulders either Iberian or Serrano.
Note that to cut ham it is worth to purchase a ham stand with a sufficiently large and heavy table(base of the ham holder), this will provide us the needed security to cut the ham easily and safely.
There are numerous ham stand models, some have extendable arms or V fastener with sliding
system, those systems allow us to cut the ham in horizontal or vertical position, tailoring the ham stand to several measures. We always recommend adaptable Ham stands, if possible with extendable arm and V fastener with sliding system.
Secondly we have to decide the type of grip, we always recommend to purchase a ham stand with rotating gripping. This feature allows to turn the ham/shoulder without totally disengaging the ham from the ham stand, very practical.
In third place we look for a ham with an attractive design, there are many nice and colorful designs most of them have a wooden base lacquered with non-toxic products. The ham stands have usually rectangular or acorn form with chromed metal fittings.
And finally we must look for a quality ham stand at a reasonable price. Certainly to have a good ham stand is important, but definitely the most important thing is to purchase a good ham or shoulder, either Iberian or Serrano.
