El Iberian Ham It is considered by many the best of the banners of our Hispanic astronomy, not in vain we are facing an autochthonous race as well as exclusive of our lands.
The ham that is obtained from the Iberian pigs, and that is fed in its greater proportion with acorns from the holm oaks of the pastures that the animal travels, it is necessary to keep it safe.
In these days, an original and exclusive preservative of said food has been presented in Cáceres. From the hand of Miguel Angel Carpintero Moreno, an attractive temperature-controlled ham holder arrives at our premises and homes that helps to put aside the bacon strips skewed to the side, when opening the piece, along with those greasy rags of butter that not only They did not help to preserve the food properly, but if their hygiene was not taken care of, they became a source of bacteria that accelerated the deterioration of the most desired “leg”.
The invention is a heated ham holder Made entirely of stainless steel that allows perfectly to make the cut without too many obstacles and at the same time protects and isolates it from the polluting agents that are outside where it is located.
Likewise, the gadget performs a perfect conservation and maintenance once started, due to the temperature control that is regulated from the outside, preserving it from the dryness and / or humidity of the environment, guaranteeing its perfect exposure for cutting moments.
The ham holder is divided into two parts:
1. The bottom bracket of the piece where the ham leg rests on the mallet or the stifle, and the hoof is anchored in a cylinder diagonally maintaining the perfect inclination for cutting.
In this part is the electronic mechanism that regulates and maintains the temperature through a digital mechanism on the side of the base.
2. The other part is a lid made of stainless steel as a cover that fits perfectly with the base of the same so that the watertightness is guaranteed and thus its conservation.
It has a top handle for uncovering it quickly and efficiently when cutting.
The fixation of the piece is completed with the rotating cap that the base cylinder has where through a mechanism in the form of a screw, but with a smooth end, not a spike, fixing the hoof, not piercing it.
The electronic mechanism
Under this sloping base is the architect of conservation, there are the heat and cold emanators that give the product the appropriate temperature, and not only that, but they provide at any time necessary, the amount of humidity and aeration that the ham specifies.
All this is housed under a protective cover in the upper part that isolates it from the contact of animal fat, leaving it arranged in the lower part of the base in a water spill made for its precipitate and subsequent removal.
The ham holder is marketed through the firm “Diamante Extremadura” and on its website, you can see the two models they have, as well as a detail of their technical characteristics and commercial contact in case their acquisition is estimated.
Long live the Ham!
