Freezer-Portioned Ham Slices Separated with Parchment Paper
这大概是我见过的最强火腿片保存方法！ · pan chinese cuisine
Buying large packs of sliced ingredients can be frustrating — each time you need some, the whole package gets thawed and refrozen, and sometimes it's such a hassle you skip using it altogether. With this method, you just take out the portion you need. It works for ham slices, cheese slices, bacon, and similar items.

Steps
- 1
Step 1
Tear off a large sheet of parchment paper and lay the ham slices on it one by one, arranging the rows so the slices line up top and bottom, with a gap between each slice.
✅ Done when: All slices on the first layer are aligned in even rows with visible space between them.

Step 2
Lay the slices out side by side.
✅ Done when: The layer of slices sits flat and evenly spaced with no overlapping pieces.

Step 3
Once a layer is done, cover it with another sheet of parchment paper and repeat the process until all the ham slices are used up.
✅ Done when: Every slice is separated by parchment paper, with none touching directly.

Step 4
Cut vertically along the gaps beside the ham slices.
✅ Done when: The stacked slices are divided into clean vertical strips.

Step 5
Keep cutting.
✅ Done when: All vertical strips are fully cut through.

Step 6
Aligning the slices makes the cutting easier.
✅ Done when: The strips are lined up squarely so the cuts run straight.

Step 7
Stack a few portions together and cut horizontally.
✅ Done when: The strips are divided into individual portion-sized bundles.

Step 9
Put the portions into a zip-top bag and you're done. Take out as many as you need whenever you want.
✅ Done when: All portioned bundles are sealed in the bag, ready to grab individually.
