  • You could try putting it in an oven proof dish with gravy and heating it up in the oven keeps it moist that way,
    Not sire on timings though I'm afraid

    Is it in slices? If so, I put the slices spread out slightly on a plate, cover the plate tightly with foil and place the plate on top of a saucepan of boiling/simmering water until things are heated through - about 5-10 mins.

    Slice it thinly & stir fry it with some mushrooms,leeks & peas.Or you could make it into a Omelette the same mathod.

    If you are re-heating food the dot gov site on food safety recommends a minimum temperature throughout of 72°C.

    Aim for "piping hot" :)

    You've probably sorted it now but this is what I do....I keep some of the liquid back that I've used to cook it. Wrap it in foil, drizzle with some of the liquid place on a baking tray and reheat in the oven for about 20 mins until it's piping hot.

    We have an existing thread on leftover gammon:

    Leftover Gammon

    I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.
