    I adore baked ham and had planned to boil and then bake (as per mammy yellowhen's instructions). But I realise I don't have a pot big enough and can't seem to find one to buy. If I slow cooked it would it be too tender and crumbly to then glaze and bake do you think?

    It'll be fine, I do it all the time.

    Brilliant, thanks. Do you stop slow cooking before it gets to the stage where you could pull it with a fork? Do you mind me asking what you slow cook it in (liquid wise)?

    If near a Homestore and More they have this https://www.homestoreandmore.ie/pots-pans/dynamic-everyday-stockpot-with-lid-26cm/073004.html It is cheap but will do the job if the size is right. I have one and use it a lot for stews and soups. 11 litres capacity.
    I did change the lid handle on it though, not the best when lifting when it gets hot.

    Thanks. I'm not near one but I could get to one. Nice price too. I don't foresee it getting much use other than one annual outing. Going to explore the slow cooker a little further and see if it'll work out.

    Yes exactly, but if I am away for the day I will stick it in low and leave it for 8 hours and just be careful when I lift it. Usually cook it in water with a couple onions. Slow cookers are magic when you are working.

    You must have a huge slow cooker if it's bigger than any pot you have :o

    I would slightly undercook it in slowcooker if you are then going to bake, I certainly wouldn't wait until it's at the stage where a fork can break it up. I often do small hams in my slow cooker and use cider as the liquid, I don't fully cover it though, just maybe 1/3 full.
