Calculation basis

Item weights and household measures are estimated. Unless specified: milk with 1.5% fat, cream with 30% fat and Gouda cheese. Optional ingredients, small amounts of seasoning and separately listed side dishes are excluded. For imprecise entries, the amounts below and comparable reference products are assumed. For alternatives, the first listed ingredient is used. Cooking losses have not been measured.

Calculated estimate using the reference foods below. Substitute products, item weights and consumed fractions are assumptions. Ordinary cooking oil and marinades are counted in full; frying oil, coatings, bones and whole roasts use the stated factors. The higher serving count is used for ranges. Actual product values and cooking losses have not been measured. Varying only the listed quantity assumptions gives 845–1220 kcal per unit stated above. This is neither a measured range nor a statistical confidence interval.

Instructions

  1. Soak the salted lamb completely covered with cold water in the refrigerator for 24-30 hours according to the product instructions; Change water several times. The salt strength of the specific product is crucial.
  2. Place a steaming rack in a large pot. Only fill with water up to below the grid; the meat must not be in the water.
  3. Place the lamb ribs on top and steam gently, covered, for 2½–3 hours. Check the water level regularly and add hot water if necessary. The meat should fall easily from the bone.
