“First, we start with a juicy ham steak that’s been pre-sliced to the perfect thickness”. Did I miss the part that tells me what this perfect thickness is?
Karly says
Oh, we actually just purchase the ham steak – they’re already cut for you so they’re evenly sized and you don’t end up with one thick end and one thin end. They’re usually between 1/2 and 1 inch thick.
