Slow Cook

  1. Soak the gammon joint overnight in cold water if necessary.

  5. After 6 hours, check the consistency of your sauce and the tenderness of your meat. The meat should be starting to fall apart and the sauce thickening. You can remove the lid and cook on high to finish the meat and thicken the sauce if necessary.
