How to cook with ham hock
Ham hock can be boiled, oven-roasted or cooked using a combination of both methods. Follow the steps below for tasty results every time:
- Start by soaking your ham hock in cold water for 8 to 12 hours. Change the water once to remove any excess salt
- Change the water and simmer whilst covered. Add roughly chopped onions, carrots, celery and pepper for flavour
- Once cooked, you can remove the meat and use. This is ideal for pies, pasta, etc.
- Alternatively, roast the meat in the oven at 180°C for 30 minutes. You could add a glaze such as honey or mustard for flavour
- Strain the stock for use in gravy, soup, broth, etc. You can also freeze it for later use
All raw meat products must be cooked thoroughly until they are piping hot.

Packaging
Your meat order is kept cool in transit because we either use an insulated expanded polystyrene box, or a recyclable tough corrugated cardboard box which is foil lined and insulated with bubble wrap. Both boxes are leak-proof and sturdy.
To keep your delivery cool, it is packed along with specially designed ice packs. Our ice packs are made with a frozen water-based gel, which keeps the meat at the correct temperature for up to 48 hours. When the ice does melt, it stays as a gel, which prevents the delivery becoming wet.
