I don't know the proper answer to this but personally I would - hope it tastes good!

If it is going to be boiling then it will probably come over the top of it anyway, perhaps you could turn it during cooking?
I assume you mean coke the drink :laughing::laughing:

I fancy doing my gammon this way this year.
Can it be cheap coke or should it be Coca-cola?

i've never done it this way before -i'm using coca-cola just in case it leaves a horrible sacrine taste like cheap coke

That's what I was wondering. My kids won't be happy if I use their coca-cola though!!!

its okay to use cheaper versions of coke ..... just dont use any of the diet varieties.
also i wouldn't put water to top up .... just give gammon a turn around every hour or so.
lovely southern taste :)
