I read a recipe online to slow cook a gammon joint which recommends coating it in hoisin sauce and then putting it (fairly dry) into the slow cooker for circa 10 hours.
Other similar recipes recommend cooking it in stock, pulling/shredding, and then adding hoisin.
Thoughts/recommendations?

"I like cooking it in Coca Cola in the slow cooker. Take it out at the end. Glaze it in honey and put in a hot oven for 20 minutes "
I want shredded hoisin pork. That's my end game.
You recon cooking it dry is a mistake? |

"Is it unsmoked?
Sure as hell is."
My personal preference is to cook gammon in stock or liquid of some sort. I'd simmer in the slow cooker for however long you think and add the hoisin afterwards. |

Thank you.
I did think cooking it 'dry' was a bit strange and didn't want to blindly follow something I was unsure about.
Will give it s whirl this weekend. |

Do you mean a pork joint, or definitely gammon? Gammon, even unsmoked, I think is too salty for hoisin, unless you like the saltiness. Dry roasting won't get rid of the saltiness, but slow simmering will to an extent. You could also try soaking the joint in cold water for a couple of hours to reduce salt more. Personally, I would soak for 2 hours, slow simmer with onions and a few bay leaves, shred, mix in hoisin, chopped spring onions and a little ginger and put in oven for 20 mins, covered - giving the hoisin time to settle into the meat. |

Cooking it in either coca cola or cider is delicious |
