Step 1

Place the ham or gammon in the Ninja Foodi pot, or the inner pot of the pressure cooker, Instant Pot.

Step 2

Add the bay leaves, onion & cloves, carrot, peppercorns and star anise.

Step 3

Add water to JUST cover the ham or gammon. NB: Make sure the water DOES NOT EXCEED the maximum amount of liquid allowed - there is a mark in the inner pot that shows this.

Step 4

Close the lid, move the steam pressure valve to the seal position, and lock the lid.

Step 5

Set to PRESSURE COOKING function setting. Select HIGH and set the time for 60 minutes. (Allowing 15 minutes per 500g. 2kg = 60 minutes)

Step 6

Press START.

Step 7

When the cooking has finished, allow to release the pressure slowly. Once it is safe to open the lid once the pressure has all been released, (some models will tell you this) open the lid.

Step 8

If you are not serving the ham or gammon hot, I like to leave it in the cooking liquor, as it keeps it moist. If serving hot, lift out with tongs, drain and carve in slices to serve.
