my porcupine ham is ready is wrap

RRP

Doing a 14.5 pound Cooks' brand shankless ham tomorrow with Ergret's recipe. After injecting it with 1.5 cup of maple syrup the bourbon/mustard/spices glaze goes on and is to be covered and let to rest overnight. Rather than to lose all that glaze when the Saran Wrap comes off I make mini-tentpoles out of round toothpicks broken in half. 


Then it is easy to drape the wrap over without losing that delicious glaze.

couldn't you just not cover it?

I suppose, but Egret says to cover it and knowing him he would drive up here and kick my butt for not following his directions! When that man gets a few grape sodas down his gullet he is mean whether in the kitchen or on the golf course!

Tell Egret to take it easy on the purple drank.

@JustineCaseyFeldown occasionally my uncovered meat will swing into the refrigerator.  I do not like it.

It's even worse when it gets caught between the toilet seat and the bowl. 

Then again, what the heck am I doing with raw meat in the water closet.

That was a rwply to Nola, btw. Not a dig at OP

I could dig where you're coming from.  Total coincidence Ron is the forum moderator for dry bags.  Women folk don't like large chunks o meat hogging up space in the family fridge, regardless or not it's changing colors like the seasons. 

Seems domestic harmony is a pursuit worth pursuing since we already have one "women are crazy" themed threads tonight.  And it's not just women.  Thanks for mentioning that, it is a valid point.

Nothing you can't solve with a couple-fifteen jars of pickles.  I'm going to build a wall and Vlasic is going to pay for it!

Ain't physically possible to build a pickle jar wall around anything in our kitchen fridge.  That's why i have a couple of science experiment fridges in the shop.
