Part of Lidl's Chrismas selection. Usually pay well over £100 for one of these this got hot last year and that was £39.99 for the same thing!

HOT!!!
I've got one of these on the go from two months ago.
The meat is fantastic and amazing value - the leg will last around 5 - 6 months in this house! As well as the tip about placing the fat back on top of the carved meat, if you put olive oil on it once a week and also wrap it in cling film you'll help avoid the bloom (if it does grow a bloom, it's fine, just cut that bit of meat off and you're good to go again.
A jamonero (the stand) is a must. Get one off eBay if you don't have one already.
A sharp, flexible, knife is also a must.
Eat the jamon on its own (great starter if you have friends round, and get some olives and manchego cheese too from lidl!), have it in sandwiches, cook with it in place of bacon for recipes like spaghetti carbonara etc.
Keep up with the weekly olive oil treatments and the meat will stay fresh and moist.
ENJOY!

Yep best kept at room temperate - it'll last for a good few months at least, over a year if not used. To prolong life you keep the fat that has been cut off and place it on exposed areas. Great excuse to get people over for tapas though!

Lovely to eat, but not so lovely to carve, if you don't have a proper stand. Any suggestions welcome!

Yes bit of a knack to it. I've got a stand which came with a leg I ordered on eBay a while back, it does make it a lot easier. Would also be worth getting a ham carving knife; very long/thin/bendy knives. Otherwise make sure your knife is very sharp!

Think this got poor feedback last year and other supermarkets were slightly more expensive but much better

Would like to try one, may give it a go this year. In Mallorca last year, Carrefour were selling loads of different types, some as much as 400€. :confused:
