The Cooking of The Haggis Ball (Steamed)
Your British Grocer homemade haggis is already cooked and only needs to be thoroughly reheated. To do this, wrap the haggis tightly in tin foil and place it in a large saucepan of cold water. Simmer gently for 45 minutes per pound (100 minutes per kilo), but do not boil the haggis as the skin may burst!
The Cooking of The Haggis Ball (Oven Bake)
If you would rather use an oven to cook your haggis, place your haggis (wrapped in tin foil) into a casserole dish with a little water and heat at 190°C (gas mark 5) for approximately 1 hour, until piping hot!
Sliced Haggis
Fry these in a frying pan or bake in oven. Make sure product is 170F throughout.
Haggis Trays
- Let the tray completely thaw before cooking. Heat at 325°F and cook for approximately 2 hours. After the first 45 minutes apply step 2.
- For the next hour every 10-15 minutes, loosen the lid, break up and stir haggis with a spoon to prevent the haggis on the bottom of tray from burning.
- Haggis must be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) at the deepest section. The haggis will take 2 hours (approximately) to heat.
