OK - I bit. For those dying to know, it's actually pretty easy. From the top of the Google list: 1. If necessary, soak the gammon (ham) in cold water to reduce saltiness, according to butcher or packet instructions (most do not need this anymore as curing methods have changed). 2. Weigh to calculate the cooking time. 3. Place in a large pan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil.
Boiled dinners are pretty big in Europe and it seems nearly all the top responses have a .UK or are UK related so I guess we have to depend upon our cousins to get it right. . .
P.S. We don't boil Lobster much up here - steaming is the way to go. Much easier and quicker too.
P.S.S. No worries here Miss Celllania - outside of soup, why would anyone boil a ham?
It's amazing that she's able to hop, skip, and twirl without tripping over/stepping on any of them. And too bad the hard floor limited her turn speed. A lot of nail-clicking. And she seems to be smiling at them, as in "come on, it's fun!"
OMG!!! What a sweet patient dog! The little lady might very well become a veterinarian some day with such a compliant patient to work with. They are both adorable!
