Gammon joint in air fryer or a ham in an air fryer is a lot easier than you think. The small joint gammon and ham that I buy, doesn't require any pre-soak. It is also very important to note that this recipe is for a gammon joint or ham joint that has not had any pre cooking! The amount of tik tok and youtube videos I see, where this is not explained is unreal. You will find many cooks on the videos cooking a gammon joint that has already been pre cooked, this is standard in many countries. However in the UK, we have a lot of people following the same method with their uncooked gammon joints .... and then wondering why it is raw? 
The video and recipe below explains the process of cooking a gammon joint in the air fryer with two different weights. Again some of the videos on social media just say "small gammon joint." The issue with this, is that some "small gammon joints" are 750g and others up to 1.1kg. So there is a difference in cooking time again! One of the best ways of ensuring meat such as pork or chicken is cooked is to get a meat thermometer The affiliate link for the one I use is here: https://amzn.to/3IfB1Wr
Once your gammon has rested for a five minutes, I check the internal centre of it with my thermometer. I personally prefer it to get to around 75 degrees centigrade. Others say 60 degrees centigrade is fine. That said, I've always gone with 75 degrees centigrade. You do you, but I don't mess about with pork or chicken temperatures when cooking. 
So I hope that this short guide will give you a good idea of how to air fry a ham or gammon joint. Because it certainly is a quick and easy way of knowing how to cook a gammon joint, compared to many other methods.
Do I glaze my ham or my gammon? Sometimes yes. However for the purpose if this recipe, I have left unglazed but explain the process. Want a glaze for the last five minutes of cooking? Marmalade is good, as is a glaze of 2 tbsp honey, mixed with 1 tbsp of dijon mustard. 
Oh, and no I don't use foil or anything else in my air fryer. Cleaning is easy for me, as I get a bowl of hot soapy water at the ready, along with a good amount of bicarbonate of soda (ideal for using bicarbonate of soda that is out of date for cooking). Once my cooking in the air fryer is done, I immediately place the air fryer rack and pan into the hot water. All residue seems to come off nicely and without hassle. 

Gammon Joint In Air Fryer

I don&#8217;t find I need to pre rinse or soak my gammon or ham joint.

I also like to remove the rind, leaving a little fat underneath.  

For a 750g gammon or ham joint, I place in my air fryer at 180 degrees centigrade for 20 minutes.  Then after 20 Minutes, I turn it over and place back in the air fryer at 180 degrees centigrade for 20 minutes.  If adding a glaze, I remove for the last five minutes, add the glaze and then pop back in the air fryer for five minutes.

For a 1.1kg gammon or ham joint, I place in my air fryer at 180 degrees centigrade for 25 minutes.  Then after 25 Minutes, I turn it over and place back in the air fryer at 180 degrees centigrade for 25 minutes.  If adding a glaze, I remove for the last five minutes, add the glaze and then pop back in the air fryer for five minutes.

I then place on a plate for five minutes covered in foil.  After five minutes, I take my meat thermometer and make sure it is around 75 degrees centigrade.  This is my preferred temperature,  and each time my ham or gammon has been cooked properly.
