    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.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    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.
