Please can you help I want to buy a gammon joint to have for dinner next Sunday for two people I want it to be big enough to maybe have on a sandwich the next day ? I’m going to Tesco Thursday can I buy a joint in the refrigeration isle and come home put it in my fridge not freezer for Sunday 1pm ? What kg weight would I need ? I want to cook in my slow cooker early next Sunday morning . Thankyou for your help in advance

@Menorca Mike While not a tesco shopper, I am sure you will find such joints in the cold meat fridge’s. Just be cautiously aware that it is gammon and not some compressed gammon meat. For 2 people and some left over for sandwiches, I would say 1.5 kg or 2kg which is roughly 4.5 pounds in weight.
Don’t forget to soak over night in cold water to leech out some of the salt.

Previous car:Peugeot 308 GT Premium 1.2 Pure tech Petrol.Mike in Tesco they used to sell easy carve joints, beef, gammon, lamb, chicken crown..
They come in a foil tray, just unpack pop them in as instructed on wrapper sorted, we use them sometimes if just the Wife and I..
Excellent value, easy to cook and as described easy to carve, tastes great too..
My experience of the honey glaze is that it burns, so I would leave that off. Cheap or affordable gammon in Tesco can be, er, challenging to eat. Pay a bit more and get the finest.
Most meat you cook for 20 min per pound and 20 mins for the oven. Or follow the printed instructions!
If you can, go to a butcher and 750g will see you right.

Yes finest in Tesco around £8 will get that I’m going first thing Saturday morning now and keep in fridge till put in slow cooker first thing Sunday many thanks for the replies
Not sure about that as I find it the other way around these little joints are soft, moist, cut thick or thin, as a full on joint always seems to be dry,tuff and quite difficult to perfect..
Guess it’s all down to the chef, and how it’s been culled..
Well at least you got a few ideas now Mike, might be better getting a joint because if you want sandwiches next day, these little joints, well half is eaten as carved..😆
Honey glaze if added I’d suggest adding maybe half way through cooking, solves the burning problem, maybe..

mmm no😂
Stew, herb dumplings, and a French loaf with a slab of salted butter, mmmmm after xmas for me at the mo, healthy eating for a while..
Stew and dumplings is my favorite by the way the other day at a friends had chunky cod fillet and mushy peas from farm foods they were lovely she said the mushy peas you do in the microwave and add hot water they were very nice 👌
Mike I’ve recently started eating cod fillets, (first time since primary school, and dinner ladies trying to force feed it to me👀), I’m having them any way they come frozen, in breadcrumbs/batter or fresh fillets..
The best so far I found are Iceland own brand luxury in batter, (in the air fryer) I’m having flavoured rice with them, seems to be working great for shedding weight.
