FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does unheated ham rump last in the fridge?
If vacuum-sealed, it can last until the 'use-by' date. Once opened, it should be cooked within 3 to 5 days.
Can I freeze unheated ham rump?
Yes, you can freeze it for 1-2 months. While it remains safe longer, the quality and texture may begin to degrade after that.
What is the difference between ham rump and other cuts?
The rump is the upper part of the leg. It is generally leaner than the shank but may contain more connective tissue.
Does unheated ham rump need to be washed?
No, washing raw meat is not recommended as it can spread bacteria. If it is too salty, you can soak it, but do so carefully.
What can I use as a substitute for ham rump?
Pork shoulder (picnic ham) is the closest substitute. For a non-pork option, smoked turkey drumsticks can provide a similar cured flavor.
Is unheated ham rump the same as gammon?
Yes, in many regions, 'gammon' refers specifically to the raw, cured hind leg of pork, which includes the rump cut.
How do I know if the ham has gone bad?
Look for a slimy texture, a sour or off smell, or any grey/greenish discoloration on the meat.
Is this product high in sodium?
Yes, because it is cured, ham rump is significantly higher in sodium than fresh pork cuts.
