Ham Cooker 1.5 kg in Water Jacket - Complete Pro Set
Take control of what you eat with this patented set from Browin. This is not just an ordinary ham press, but a complete system designed to solve the biggest problem in home deli meat production: uneven heating.
The secret lies in the innovative "water jacket". The ham press rests on a specially adapted flange suspended inside the included 4-liter pot. This means the press never touches the bottom of the pot but is completely surrounded by water. The result is that the meat is heated gently and evenly from all sides, without any "hot-spots" at the bottom. This guarantees that your ham, roulade, or luncheon meat stays juicy and tender all the way through, with no dry edges or burnt taste.

✔ Patented water jacket
|
✔ No water evaporation

|
✔ Prevents dry/burnt meat
|
✔ Healthier food

Tip: The flange also acts as a tight lid. This prevents the water from evaporating, so you never have to refill water or worry about it boiling dry, even during long cooking times.
Why choose this set?
- ✔ Healthy cooking: You decide the ingredients. Make classic ham, spicy roulades, or vegan pâtés completely without preservatives and unnecessary salt.
- ✔ Optimal heat treatment: Because the press "floats" in the water, you get a sous-vide-like effect that preserves the juiciness and nutrients in the meat.
- ✔ Full control: The set includes two thermometers – one to measure the water temperature and one that goes into the core of the meat via a hole in the lid. Perfect precision every time.
- ✔ Quality: All parts are made of high-quality stainless steel that is approved for food contact and dishwasher safe.
- ✔ Universal use: The pot works on all types of stoves: induction, gas, and electric.

FAQ
Can I wash all parts in the dishwasher?
The press itself, the pot, and the flange are made of stainless steel and can safely be washed in the dishwasher. The thermometers must be washed by hand.
What is the advantage of the water jacket vs. a regular pot?
In a regular pot, the press sits directly on the hot bottom. This can cause the meat at the bottom to overcook, dry out, or crumble (jelly loss). In this set, the press hangs freely in the water, providing a much milder and more even heat treatment – resulting in juicier and more delicate meat.
Do I have to use bags?
It is highly recommended to use bags (10 are included). The bags make it much easier to remove the finished meat from the mold, they retain the juices/jelly around the meat, and make cleaning a breeze.
