thats insanity. you throw a whole spam into a frying pan and then slice/poke at it with a spatula? the pieces would be completely uneven and thus would cook unevenly. have some self respect and take the rectangle and put it on a cutting board and meticulously slice perfectly even and equal lengthwise slices with the precision and poise of a 25 year old japanese sushi shef working in a two star michelin restaurant who still hates himself for overcooking a single appetizer three years ago
