I'd cook them separately, do crackling hot and fast and ham as standard, but yeah I guess leaving it on will draw out more moisture but don't think I'd bother Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And the fact you've probably laid 2 acres of slabs ,or 3 miles of fencing during the day ! I'm guessing you enjoy the cooking ? It's quite relaxing, music on ,beer on the go , 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
