What is the best way to cook a Gammon?!
Answers: I have a lovely peice of gammon but i cant figure out a way to cook it i need help!!!!!!!recipes any kind
If it's gammon steak, just grill for 2-5 minutes, deapending on thickness or how u prefer it (medium, rare). A great recipe is gammon, fried egg and chips which is lovely. Also, if you like something different, if you have a roast, slow cook it in the oven at 180oc for about 2hours and then for the last ten minutes, drizzle a bit of honey over the top which gives great flavour and texture to your meat.

i belive it is up to preference but you can roast it or boil it.

Before answering where in U.K. are you ?? I won't go through a recipe if you are an american amused with a new word. It's almost impossible to get a true Gammon in the colonies.E-mail me
If it is a joint of gammon, put it in a pan of water with a little milk added (to absorb unwanted salt) and let it simmer for about an hour, depending on its size. Then wrap it in tin foil that you have smeared with honey and ground cloves and put it in the oven to bake for the rest of its cooking time. A temperature of about 180 celsius. If it has thick rind (skin) around it, take it off between the boiling and the baking and you will have a nicely glazed joint at the end of it. Allow 25min to the pound and 25 mins more.
Enjoy it!
