How to cook a gammon and lamb with only one slow cooker

Hi all

So the Christmas cooking nightmares have started and I'm getting stressed about how to cook everything. The gammon and lamb were meant to be cooked by DP but I fear if I don't have a 'plan b' then they won't be cooked.

I've got one large slow cooker I was going to use for the lamb but then that leaves the gammon to cook. I only have one oven so will be cooking the potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and Turkey at a high temperature.

I'm asking if someone has another slow cooker I could borrow but any other suggestions please?

You cook one or two the day before surely? Not all on Christmas Day morning!

I'd probably cook the gammon the day before and the lamb and turkey on Christmas morning.

Cook your gammon in the oven tomorrow or xmas day why has everything to be slow cookered you are paniking when therereally is no need.

I cook my gammon in the slow cooker overnight on Christmas Eve, I usually do my turkey in the oven Christmas morning, done by 12 leaving the oven then free for potatoes etc etc

Cook the gammon the day before, glaze and roast on Christmas Day before everything else and leave at room temp. It’ll be absolutely fine.

I’d cook one overnight, probably the gammon as I’d be more likely to want to check on the lamb.

Cook the gammon the day before then glaze it so it can 'marinade' then shove in oven for 20 mins to finish off when you want it.

I'm planning on doing both my lamb and gammon in the sc one after the other tomorrow. I normally do the lamb in the oven Xmas morning but am very very pregnant this year so want as much of the prep out of the way as possible.
