Good day! To all members of the forum such a huge thank you that they were not too lazy and shared their experience :)) It helped me a lot! Everything worked out the first time.The ham is ready today - and tasty, and dense, and pink, not dry, and tastes like a shop (though we ate a shop about 20 years ago :)) Just super! And without nitrine salt and other dyes. I read the forum selectively, but apparently I found the most important thing :)) and took it into account. Well, she thought of something herself :))

I share the recipe and nuances. We do not eat meat, therefore we made it from poultry :)) I bought 1 turkey thigh, 1 turkey breast, 1 duck thigh and a package of chicken hearts (Petelinka). From this there is one more ham left (except for the duck - it is all gone).
For 1 tab in a Tescoma ham:
400 g turkey thigh, 370 g turkey breast, 100 g chicken hearts, 130 g meat from the thigh of duck = that is, just 1 kg of meat
+ 100 l milk + 1 chicken egg + 1 quail egg + 15 olives (without seeds and fillings) + 15 g of fine iodized salt
+ slightly less than 1 tsp of ready-made store-bought mixture of dry ground spices for chicken and turkey (I bought Kotanyi, the composition is salt, paprika, corn starch, garlic, white pepper, marjoram, rosemary)
+ 1 coffee spoon (this is 1/2 or 3/4 tsp) icing sugar + 4 pcs of cumin (I was afraid to put more)
+ a little carrots
I bought all the meat in the evening and put it in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator. And at night, in the morning, I read on the forum that you need to do everything cold - no more than 12 degrees. Therefore, in the morning I immediately put all the meat in the freezer. And after 40 minutes it began to magical.
1. I took a turkey thigh out of the freezer - washed it in cold water, cut off the captivity with scissors, left the fat, then cut everything with scissors into pieces of 1-1.5 cm, weighed it, put it in a bag and put it back in the freezer.
2. I took out the turkey meat from the freezer - washed it in cold water, cut it with scissors, weighed it, into a bag and into the freezer. This will go for minced meat (according to the recommendation of teskoma, the ratio should be 2/3 in pieces, 1/3 minced through a blender).
3. I took out the duck's thigh from the freezer - washed it in cold water, cut the meat from the bone, cut it into pieces, weighed it, into a bag and into the freezer.
4. I took chicken hearts out of the freezer - washed them in cold water, cut them all in half lengthwise with scissors to wash the caked blood, left the fat on them, weighed them into a bag and into the freezer.
5. Weighed milk and put it in the refrigerator.
6. I washed the eggs and refrigerated them.
7. Olives - in the refrigerator.
8. Finely chop some carrots (1/2 pcs.). And in her refrigerator.
9. Collected all the spices in one container - salt, a mixture of spices, powdered sugar, cumin.
10. She took out the turkey breast and chicken hearts from the freezer. The fat was cut off from them, and they themselves went back to the freezer. And I ground this fat and turkey breast into a "pate" with a hand blender. Blender didn't like it very much :)) tough meat. Therefore, I often stopped him, cleaned the knife, cut the half-paste itself with scissors - in general, I helped the blender as best she could :))
11. I took out of the refrigerator all the preparations (except for olives) + turkey "pate" (after the blender). In a saucepan of 3 liters, she kneaded this mixture for 10 minutes. By hand. Mixture, ash-tree stump, ice:)) The hand gets cold :)) But the structure of the mixture changed during the mixing process. It's not just to mix the ingredients, the magic process has already begun there :))
12. I left it all in a saucepan, closed the lid and put it in the refrigerator.
And she herself went to the store for a baking bag (we didn't have it at home, but I decided to put it inside the ham maker) and behind the divider (gas stove).
13. Came back an hour later. She took out a saucepan. I put a baking bag inside the ham (clip on the bottom). She began to put the mixture from the pan inside it. A layer of a mixture - 4-5 olives - a layer of a mixture - olives ... I used a regular wooden potato crush. By the amount of the mixture, the excess turned out to be 2 tbsp - the lid did not close :)) I removed the excess in the bag and in the freezer (it will be possible to simply add to the vegetables in the double boiler). She cut the baking bag on top almost along the edge of the meat, a little higher. I closed the ham and put it in the refrigerator. For another 3 hours. That is, in total, 4 hours of cooling came out along with fermentation.
14. She took a ham maker out of the refrigerator.On the comfort zone there is a divider and a 6 liter saucepan. In the center - a ham maker, poured cold water, closed the pan with a teskoma lid (special for a ham maker), and stuck their thermometer into the hole in the lid. Heated the water in a saucepan to 80 degrees and turned off the heat. And so the construction stood for 1 hour. Without fire.
15. Turned on the fire, heated the water to 85 degrees. And so she kept for 2 hours.
16. Poured boiling water from the pan. And she poured cold water. She put the ham maker in the pan. After 10 minutes, she drained the water and poured cold water again. And she stood in this water for 2 hours. Then the ham was put into the refrigerator overnight.
In the morning everything was ready. The baking bag contains broth. I got it all right. I did not drain the liquid from the ham itself through the holes in the lid (there is such a manufacturer's recommendation). What for? :)) The carrots came out a bit damp, but there are not many of them and it is almost imperceptible :)) You can cut them smaller or add boiled ones. In general, there were many fears that it would not work out, but everything turned out just fine!
Refinements "in the tail" - fine sea salt (and not iodized, as I wrote :)) I missed. And one more thing - the water in the pan on the stove should be at the level of the meat in the ham, that is, 1 cm below the lid of the ham. Look like that's it : ))
