Ended up getting a gammon joint from Iceland one day just randomly for me and my dad, but when we went to cook it I wanted to slow cook it so we tried it I. The slow cooker and put some ham stock in, sliced some potatoes to sit the gammon on and such and in the morning when it came to check it…wow, the potatoes had absorbed so much of the juice and tasted like heaven. The gammon was so hard to pick up cause of how tender it was. Brilliant

[@angeline3194]

Looks easy 👌 look forward to trying it out ..thanks for sharing xx

[@scouseofhorror104]

We always have a gammon at Christmas too! It wouldn't be Christmas Eve without the smell of gammon roasting with cloves and brown sugar 😋🎄

[@micometer]

Im rather glad I found your channel! I prefer home-cooked things (because easy and delicious and cheap), but ive burnt through my personal recipe book. Thanks to you I have plenty of new to try! :)

[@Carolina-nn6ye]

I'm just glad I already had something to eat before watching this cuz this would've sent me over the edge watching on an empty stomach. 😁🤤 That looked like it could fall apart just by looking at it hard enough. 😁 Thank you! You all stay safe on your side as well ✌👋👏👏🖖

I once asked you if you knew how to cook pickled pork; turns out you do because Gammon is pickled pork. I’ve subsequently asked my Mum how she used to do it and her description is pretty much exactly how you’ve done it. One thing she used to do was to halve garlic cloves and put them into the meat and also add potatoes, onions and tomato into the croc pot. Lovely! Thanks for sharing.

[@Gus-fx3xk]

Thanks for telling what gammon is. never heard of it here in the states. Here it's salt pork

[@chris7198]

Brilliant 👍Looking forward to your Christmas recipes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@marsha8622]

Looks delicious. Lol now to research what Gannon equates to in the states! House to try this! Keep on with the great videos! Thanks from across the pond!

[@jim95053]

Yum! I'm doing a Cuban Pork roast this week in the crockpot. Oh, made tattie scones last night.

[@anniegetyrgun8741]

I always slow cook gammon once a month. I put chunky rough cut onions and carrots in the base, with a couple of bay leaves. Place the meat on top with the fat cap. Then pour over a 500 ml bottle of cider. Cook on high for five hours. Remove fat cap and quarter the whole thing. We eat a quarter for a dinner with mash, veg, and parsley sauce. I freeze 2 quarters of the gammon for a later date (it freezes really well) then I use final quarter shredded, along with a couple of tatties, and the veg-cider stock to make a big batch of soup

Simple cooking that sticks to your ribs. Good stuff.

[@ianhobbs4984]

As a disabled elderly gent I struggle to cook but this recipe I have just found and now I am going to give it a go.

Welcome to the channel

[@howard1707]

You are learning well, I trust the vegetables were cooked through being at the base of the pot, and personally I wouldn't have added any salt, if anything I would have soaked the joint over night to get rid of the salt, and if you want a gammon that you can slice rather than shred, don't cook it for so long, it is trial and error to start with. That said shredded meat makes more meals.

[@kooperativekrohn819]

Best way to cook and eat it , try honey roasting it next time , sometimes i add cider

[@deeferry6520]

Looks fab.

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Awesome video

[@davidcook380]

Great Video .....One question, how long did you cook it for and at what temp

[@carolinemarley8426]

David!!! I was just going to ask the same thing!!!

[@singledadscookbook]

It's 8 hrs un my slow cooker and it only has the one temp and I have no idea what it is

[@carolinemarley8426]

[@Vince_uk]

Question Please How long did you slow cook it for ?

[@singledadscookbook]

My slow cooker operates on an 8hr cycle

Hi singer dad, I have a slow cooker, and I and going to try this for my Sunday dinner 🍽, 😀😀

[@singledadscookbook]

Watch the salt content of your gammon, hope you enjoy it 😀

[@anaskitchen]

✨ Thank you very much . I enjoyed watching this video .. You have my full support . .💯keep smiling👍. كل الحب والتقدير لمجهودك المبذول انت مبدع دائما ومتميز 💐^^.

[@alandorricott8852]

Maybe a stupid question but do you use the carrots and onion from the slow cooker?

[@singledadscookbook]

You can do

[@arthurwalls9091]

Great Video .....One question , which actual cut of gammon did you use ???There are a few to choose from , I would like to do your recipe & method exactly as you made it before I do any tinkering around & maybe muck it up a bit ...😊🤗😋 🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐫

[@singledadscookbook]

I just bought a gammon joint

[@arthurwalls9091]

@@singledadscookbook Ooooohhhh-kkaaaaayyy....... Sorry , but I did mean the actual SPECIFIC CUT LOCATION ....You see I think there's a little language barrier here between us ...What you take for granted to say & call things in the UK, here in the USA we may not be quite up to speed on knowing what a " JOINT " actually means or stands for .... You see , here in the US, when we call something a a " JOINT " it literally means a Bone Joint either with or without some meat attached , but even then we tell which Bone Joint to know from just what part of the pig / or cow it came from .......🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@singledadscookbook]

I understand that there are terminology differences in the UK and the US. As I said I bought a Gammon joint from the local supermarket. It doesn't say which cut it is. I wouldn't want to hazard a guess at which cut it is. I do know however it's not bone in.

[@arthurwalls9091]

@@singledadscookbook Well , the term joint sort of muddy the water a bit for us over here , coz the meat cutters & butchers usually put a name on the package to help us guys out a bit to help define what we're looking at instead of just labeling something MEAT or JOINT as it were they usually actually label it with Roast , Shank , Ham , Tenderloin etc ......... Just gotta love the Meatcutters over here , they do such a great job of helping us all out coz some folks are a bit exacting when they cook & sometimes make gourmet meals that they've come accustomed to taking extra time & care when helping us out when looking for that right section of meat to use that they don't use generalizations but find it just as easy to correctly label the cut they're labeling ......Thanks ...

[@singledadscookbook]

Gammon Joints are the hind legs of the pig. Hope this helps

How long did you cook it for.🤔

[@singledadscookbook]

8 hrs - be careful of the salt content

[@kennethconlin4755]

Ok thank you.👍🏻🥰

[@coolerkin]

You left out the cooking time and what setting to cook it on???😂😂😂

[@singledadscookbook]

My slow cooker only has one setting and one timing 8hrs

[@tardismole]

How long was the cooking time?

[@singledadscookbook]

8 hrs

[@amz7290]

Thanks for this, didn't event think about using my slow cooker (used to just boiling it up for sarnies Or baking it in the oven for dinners) Deffo doing this with the chunk I got today :D

[@2learn4ever]

I always leave ham and bacon in a pot of water overnight. Otherwise it would be far too salty. I wouldn't recommend adding salt to salted meat either, also I prefer to slice the meat. I've never heard of shredded ham. To me, if it's shredable it's overdone. I find carrots are always cooked to mush in my slow cooker, it's a bog-standard model, no timer. The only thing I've managed to do ok in it is beef stew/casserole type recipes. Vegetable are always overdone. I'm trying to get better by trial and error like yourself.

love u mate

You desperately need to whet-stone grind your clearly blunt knife. My knives are so sharp that I can shave with them.

[@davidkenneth499]

here is something I found online for cooking in a slow cooker. Get Pour-4-ingredients-into-a-slow-cooker, handy for Christmas Dinner, Turkey Brest might work as well. *Ingredients: °4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts °1 cup chicken broth °1 can cream of chicken °1 box stuffing mix °1/2 cup of water *How : Put your chicken in the slow cooker. Then pour your broth over it. Next, place your soup, stuffing, and water in a bowl, mix them together, and pour over your chicken. Cook the ingredients at low temperature for seven hours. When you get back to your pot, you'll have delicious, moist chicken breast and the best stuffing you've ever had. Enjoy.
