Can anyone help, never cooked gammon before and keep putting of doing the one in the fridge, so what the bloody hell do i do. Is it best boiled or roast,a dn im not sure on time length per pund, never been good with meat, i usually just leave it in for ages till its well done, any help would be nice thankyou

Put it in the biggest pot i have and theres a little bit at the top that im unable to cover with water, will it still cook ok do you think as im gonna roast it after

i always boil mine for an hour then put it in a roasting tin with a drop of water, covered with tin foil in a low oven until you can slide a knife into it easily, this way it cooks very tender, make sure it's cool before slicing as it's so tender it shreds (is it smoked? if it is give it a good soak in the sink)

boil for an hour then roast and test every 20mins with knife until it slides in with no effort (you won't poison anyone, you can eat gammon, bacon raw )
