Do You Cover Gammon When Roasting?

Roast gammon
Place the gammon joint in a large roasting tin, cover with foil and cook for the time you previously worked out, and about 20-30 minutes from the end, take the foil off. If you want to add a glaze, you can do this at about 20 minutes or so before the end to avoid it catching and burning.

Should I wrap gammon in foil?

Lay a piece of foil large enough to enclose the gammon on a large baking tray, put the gammon onto it and lift up the sides of the foil. 2. Pour the wine or water gently over the joint and then fold the foil loosely over it, sealing the edges tightly so moisture does not escape.

How do you keep gammon from drying out?

To stop your gammon from drying out in the oven, or your glaze from burning due to the high sugar content, bring your gammon out and baste every 15-20 minutes to ensure it keeps moist and juicy!
