another slow cooker ?

[mojay]

I have a very small gammon joint - very small because a neighbour and I have gone halves on an already small joint!

I want to cook it- cool it - cut it and freeze it - nothing fancy like glazes etc

Can I do this in the slow cooker - no fuss way ?

[woofgang]

yup.

You can also stick it in the pressure cooker.

It's melt-in-your-mouth done in the slow cooker.

thanks Pasta - so .... tomorrow I plan to chuck it in the slow cooker with a smidgeon of water and I'll chop an onion to add - then let it talk to itself for hours ... and hopefully that'll be reasonably edible !

I do all my meat in my slow cooker and when I do pork I take the fat off and put it in with the roast potatoes.

Try adding a little orange juice instead of water, and a clove

I'm the same as Wendilla, I do all my 'roast' joints in the slow cooker. I normally cover gammon joints in water an add an onion and a few herbs. You might like to try cooking it in cola, I do my ribs that way and am going to try it with my next gammon joint because it gives a lovely flavour.

[mojay]

ooh orange juice and cola both sound interesting too - thanks

I have roasted a Gammon joint, a small one, I put it in foil and cooked it for the time suggested on the wrapper,but ten minutes before the end of cooking time, I took the joint out of the foil, basted it with a mixture of 1 Tablespoon of mustard and one Tablespoon of Honey. Put it back in the oven for the last ten minutes,after cooking time was complete, I then wrapped it back in foil to cool a little for 15mins. The result was lovely moist Honey and mustard roast ham.

[guilliebrougues]

If you do not want a flavoured ham, just omit the honey and mustard and cook for time suggested , but leave in the foil for 15 mins to rest .

Here I am again, I forgot to mention that I soaked the gammon joint in cold water for 3 hours then poured off the water and dabbed the joint dry with kitchen towel then cooked it as I suggested.
