A dry-cured pork hock from the lower part of the leg, near the foot. Richly flavoured and particularly suited to slow cooking, braising or roasting, then serving whole or shredding into soups, stews and pies. For a smoked version, choose our Old Fashioned Smoked Gammon Hock.
£8.95
A gammon hock is the lower section of the pig’s leg after curing. “Pork hock” and “pork knuckle” describe the same general lower-leg area, but this Grid Iron product is specifically dry-cured rather than sold as a fresh, uncured pork hock.
This hock is dry-cured. Grid Iron also sells a separate Old Fashioned Smoked Gammon Hock, which is dry-cured and then cold-smoked over apple wood.
Because it is cured, soaking before cooking can help reduce saltiness. Slow cooking, braising or roasting gives the connective tissue time to soften and the meat to become tender enough to serve whole or shred. Long, gentle cooking also produces a rich cooking liquor that works well as the base for soups, beans and stews.
For detailed timings and methods, see our How to Cook Gammon Hocks (Pork Knuckle) guide.
Ingredients & curing agents:
Free-range Yorkshire pork (96%), sea salt, sugar, preservatives: sodium nitrite (E250), potassium nitrate (E251); antioxidant: sodium ascorbate (E301).

Hi,
I rarely eat pork, but this pork shank has convinced me to eat it more often. I’m very pleased with the quality of the meat, its preparation, and its nutritional and flavorful qualities. If I were to recommend a pork shank to anyone, it would be this one from Grid Iron.

Pressure cooked till the meat fell off the bone. Lovely. Leave the liquid to cool to a nutritious jelly too.
