Farmer Jimmy Doherty sets out to discover how manufacturers make ham square. He takes fresh pork and adds water, salt, sugar and phosphates by injecting it into the meat, to increase its weight by 20%. He uses a cement mixer to replicate the tumbling of meat to tenderise it and allow the chemicals to penetrate the pork. He then packs the meat into a square container and cooks it before slicing to make square ham.
