I would suspect not. The only reason I can think of that you would need to salt a ham before cooking and eating it is if it is salt cured. (You soak it in plain water so that the process of osmosis will draw the excess salt from the salt cure process out of the ham and into the water.) If a ham is smoke cured, I can't see why it would have been salt cured as well. You could always take a quick small taste of the meat to make sure the salt content is not excessive, but I cannot imagine that it would be.
No, lentils do not need to be soaked before cooking, but soaking them can help reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.
Pearl barley does not need to be soaked but it will be fluffier if you can soak it for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight.
No. Smoking and curing are both methods that effectively cook food. Just smoked food is safe, just cured food is safe and when something is both smoked and cured it is also safe.
Boil what?
No.
No, you do not need to peel sweet potatoes before cooking them. The skin is edible and contains nutrients, but it can be removed if desired.
For best results you should thaw all frozen meats before cooking them.
Yes, it is recommended to wash mushrooms before cooking them to remove any dirt or debris.
No, you do not need to peel asparagus before cooking it. Just trim the tough ends and it is ready to be cooked.
All reeds need to be soaked to soften them before playing. This allows them to vibrate as you play. A hard, dry reed will crack rather than vibrate. Single reeds for instruments such as clarinet & saxophone are soaked by sucking them before placing them on the instruments. Double reeds for Oboe, Cor Anglais & Bassoon need to be soaked in water due to the different shape of the reed. Sucking them in the mouth does not soak the entire reed.
Yes, smoked pork chops are typically already cooked during the smoking process, but they may need to be reheated before serving.
what do i need to do with a new smoker before cooking on it?
