Best gammon ever

tbw

I'm sure these joints are excellent value and, cooked properly, they will be fine. However, I think the description 'Gammon Ham' is a bit misleading - tome, that implies a 'proper' joint odd a cured pig. These are certainly reformed meat made out of squashed together bits and pieces rather than proper joints of solid ham.

They are still good value and worth buying - so long as you know what you are butying!

Don't be too upset!
They're ok, made a nice mid-week meal but nothing spectacular.

I ordered a plain one and a smoked one for my order today and they had run out so they sub it with a larger one 1.8 I think so im well happy. We always coverin honey and mustard cover with tin foil and roast for a couple of hours and its lovely, even the kids like it which is always a bonus. Thanks to the op

No offence but that sounds vile lol, I only ever cook it in coke or just slow cooked and always have it with mashed potato and cabbage. Even the kids love it.

Gammon and eggs is a great british classic - admittedly the tinned stuff is a bit wierd but I was brought up having it with bangers or bacon so was a match for me.

The oven roast method for the gammon gives a medium moist/dry rather than mushed up consistency you lot are aiming for (ive tried it in the slow cooker and prefare this from the oven).

Gonna have sarnies and some pea and ham soup today from the half ive got left in fridge -- so value for money all round - fed two adults and two half pints.

Ps Dont do a full chicken in the slow cooker as someone mentioned you,ll end up with a geletinous/greasy mess.

Put the juice in a big pan


ADD
carrots

Have a look at the Nigella coke recipe, it's not only for the slow cooker

Next time you do it try it with cherry coke - VERY nice!

I've tried a whole chicken, and it just fell to bits in the slow cooker. What did I do wrong?

You need to put something under it like some kitchen foil, so you can lift it out.
