Ham over cooked on purpose

rangerdfMember

This may sound like a silly question, but the other day on America's Test Kitchen, they did a fresh uncooked ham shank and cooked it to about 200 degrees internal and it was basically falling apart like a pork butt. They chopped it up and made sandwiches like pulled pork. I was wondering what would happen if you used a regular grocery store PRECOOKED ham shank and treated it like a pork butt and cooked it to about 200 degrees, what would it turn out like. Comments? If I can find a inexpensive ham I might give it a try.

I've used commercial smoked ham shanks to cook with collards, in place of turkey legs or ham hocks, and when done, the meat falls off the bone and is pretty darn tasty. That's simmered for 2 or 3 hours (an hour before the collards go in). I'm not sure how they cooked it on the show. If you are talking about unsmoked precooked shanks, I haven't seen them but would like to know where to get them!
