In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If possible, you will want to desalt the ham before you cook it. Whenever possible, try to desalt the ham prior to baking, roasting, or reheating. This will ensure you are able to remove as much of the salt as possible. If your ham is too salty, dilution is a great way to remove some of the salty flavor. Take the ham and place it in a container of fresh, cold water. Cover the container with a lid or aluminum foil. Then place the container in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours. This will help reduce the saltiness of the ham. You can soak a ham for up to 72 hours to remove the saltiness. The longer you soak it, the less salty it will be. If soaking the ham for more than 4 hours, make sure you change the water regularly. Replace the water every 2 hours to reduce bacteria growth. After you soak the ham, rinse it with water. Make sure you use fresh, cold water to rinse the ham. Rinse the ham completely. This will help remove any excess salt from the exterior of the ham. You can cook the ham once it is rinsed. If soaking the ham does not remove the saltiness, you can try boiling it. Cut the ham into large chunks and place the meat in a pot of boiling water. Boil the ham for about ten minutes. This can help leach out any remaining salt. Taste the ham after you have boiled it for about ten minutes. If it is still too salty, try boiling it for another one or two minutes. Do not boil the ham for longer than necessary to remove the salt. Doing so can result in tough, dried out, or unappetizing ham.
Summary: Desalt the ham before cooking. Soak it in water. Rinse the ham after soaking. Try boiling the ham.

Problem: Article: Once you've had your first meeting, make sure to maintain regular communication with your members. Offer regular updates on meeting times, as well as synopses of the meetings. You'll also need to provide updates as new information becomes available. It's important that your personal agenda (such as advancing in the company) doesn't come before the committee. That means that you place more importance on the committee succeeding in its goals than on you succeeding in your own goals. One of the key points of encouraging creativity is that you build up members rather than tear them down. If you are constantly berating members in front of the group for their ideas, they will soon stop volunteering ideas. Therefore, it's important to make the committee a place where you are accepting of new thoughts and ideas, even if they seem strange at first. As old members go off the committee, you'll need to recruit more members. As you do, make sure you provide them with an appropriate orientation that covers the rules and focus of the group, just as you did when you started with the committee. Help the new person to figure out how she or he can engage with the committee. Many times, members do not need to be on a committee, and they are volunteering to do so. Keep that in mind as you run your committee, and offer your thanks in writing and in person for what they do to make your committee a success.
Summary:
Communicate often. Put the committee above your personal agenda. Encourage creativity. Gain new members. Don't forget to be thankful.
