how big a pan do I need for a 5kg ham?

[sphil]

Anyone any ideas? And please don't say 'one that fits' . I'm not getting the ham til the 22nd and I need to get the pan before to save last minutes panics. Have seen a 14l one in a shop - would that be big enough? Am hoping someone will be kind enough to measure their pan for me!!! In the spirit of Christmas you know...

How much is 5kg in pounds?

10lb 10oz.

Ok. I did a ham that weighed 14lb last week in a pan that has a diameter of 30cms and a depth of 20cms. It was just big enough! Hope that helps a bit!

Oh, that might be OK then. The one I saw had a diameter of 28cm - not sure about depth. Thanks a lot Maureen!
