After receiving the shipment I unloaded the cans to find a couple of them dented from apparently being banged around together. I had this same issue last time but this shipement came packed in teh same way. I will keep the items but it causes me concern. Secondly on the DAK ham there is rust beginning on the back of the cans that I received. This can has a rather long life span of up to 6 years. Since the rust has already started I am concerned as to its condition down the road. I plan on keeping those also but will probably be buying them from the store where I can check for the rust before buying. Thank you

...... Having not had this little " ham" in a great while, I decided to try it again.... Well, adding it to eggs, boxed scalloped potatoes, frying it up for a sandwich, yeah it is handy to have about. It seemed to have more " ham flavor " this time around , hmmm, an improvement since our last encounter, I wonder .... ?

It was like a big can of spam rather than ham..I ended up rinsing off a lot of the salt and adding it to my homemade mac and cheese with broccoli to cut the salt and flavor even more..all I can say is if you need a lot of something that tastes like spam and you are not really looking for ham texture and taste this is cheaper than buying the small cans.It is really the first time I have ever bought a canned ham, as I thought it would be better for me now that I am the only one here...I will buy the real ham from now on and jut have them cut it into ham steaks or cook it and freeze some..

Bought this with the idea of adding it to my 15 bean soup. When I opened it I thought, 'Gee, this looks like spam'. So I cut off a piece and ate it, and thought 'Gee, this is spam'. If your looking for real canned ham, don't get this. If you like spam and its economically viable to get this instead of spam due to price, then do so. I'm not saying it doesnt taste good. For what it is, it does! It's just more like spam to me then canned ham i'm used to.

I have been buying Dak can hams for a while but the last 3 cans I bought had big chunks of white fat or grease. It was awful when you bit into it. I have never had this problem before. I thought I would bring this to your attention. I am hoping it was a bad batch. Thank you.

I wasn't sure what expect based on other reviews. I bought 3 cans at under $4/can at Walmart so I opened one. I found ham chunks compressed into shape with marbled fat between the chunks. The smell was of fresh ham and quite pleasant. It looked good and smelled good. My wife and I ate a 1/2" square piece cold. We both liked it. The predominant texture was of ham and we did not notice any fat. I thought it had a light saltiness. My wife thought it was more salty than I did. I cut a 3/8" thick slice length way and put it in the frying pan. While it cooked I found myself cutting cold pieces off the main piece of ham and consumed quite a bit by the time the slice was cooked. Once cooked the slice took on more of an appearance of whole ham fried in a skillet. After tasting it hot I must say I would enjoy it with some scrambled eggs and hash browns. Overall, this ham is great for camping, everyday use, and long term storage. Nice product, fantastic price. My only criticism is the product in no way resembles the picture on the can. Other than that, I am happy and will buy 6 more for emergency provisions. 

Pretty much like Spam but not as good tasting, and this DAK is more expensive per ounce. There seems to be a lot more fat in the DAK than in even generic spam-like products. Spam-type cans are 12 ounces, the DAK is 16 ounces. Hormel Spam is $2.50 per can (20.8 cents per ounce) on walmart.com Great Value Canned spam-style is $2.00 per can on here ($16.7 cents per ounce). Our local dollar$store has decent generic spam for about $1.67. So, go figure on the cost per ounce versus this DAK at nearly 24.8 cents per ounce. We thought these used to be an actual slab of ham in a can. I guess either our memories were incorrect or DAK has changed.

While one would expect fat in such a product, there was too much fat and other by-products in this product.( I purchased multiples, to have on hand in the event of a prolonged power outage since I live in Hurricane territory) The only thing I think this product is good for is ala cooking beans in a crockpot or over a campfire. For lunch sandwiches in slices or making ham salad, I would recommend purchasing a better quality ham product.

To start off this meat is what you would expect from meat in a can. It is very salty, which is ok when paired with other foods. I used 2 cans to feed 5 people for 1 meal as a side to tortillas and eggs. Everyone said that it tasted "alright" but no one would say it was better than fresh. We will probably have it again but with rice and gravy.

I found a recipe online for canned ham. It said it guaranteed to make the canned ham taste like a high end ham. I used a beer to cook the salt out of the ham, then pour it out. Then add brown sugar, pineapple juice and sliced pibeapple along with whole clove. Very true, tasted like a christmas glazed ham! Just search for “make a cheap ham taste amazing” by nerdymama to get all the temperatures and details etc. I did shorten a few of the times as the Dak ham is one pound. I Plan to use the same recipe to cook a canned Hormel Ham too, the Hormel is 4 lbs but has to be refrigerated...
