    Got a massive 4kg ham to go with the turkey this year :D
    Originally thought 20 mins a pound and 20 mins over but 3 hours seems a but 3 hours doesn't sound right for the size of it!!
    Anyone reccomend how/how long to cook it for?
    Maybe even to cook on xmas eve and leave a while to put it back in on xmas day to finish it off?

    I do 25mins per 450g, on a low heat, with the lid on. For you that means approximately 3 hours 40 minutes. That should do ya grand!

    Depends if it's on the bone. If it's on the bone then your original calculations are right, otherwise neuro-praxis is right. Remember to leave it sit for about 20 mins also before you carve it.
