I ran out of room in my oven!! Can I "bake" a ham on the stovetop?

Question

I have a fully cooked sprial ham that I need to cook and I don't have room left in the oven. I have a big stock pot that the ham will fit into. sI there any way to make it on the stove and have it turn out like it was in the oven?

Answer 1

EEEWWWW crisp...yuck!!! My Mom makes hers either in the oven or on top of the stove. You put in the stock pot with about an inch or two or water and keep a lid on it. keep checking the water to make sure it stays at this level.
If you want something real good cook the wide noodles and add them to the pot in the ham broth. Let them cook for a minute or two and then serve them with the ham broth so people can spoon the noodles and broth over mashed potatoes with butter.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Answer 2

Take it out of the stockpot and bake it on its own. Use one of those roasting bags, it works the same way as a stockpot.

If you use 7 up or pinneaple juice as part of the fluid to bake it in, the result will be soft and tender ham too. Just remember to remove the ham from the bag at the last hour to put the brown color on.

Remember the word "cooked". This is a fully cooked ham. What you just want to do is heat it through and make it tender.

Answer 3

If you have a double boiler it might work I have never tried it. If no double boiler take a really large pan and fill with water half way sit another pan inside it that will hold the ham. Place a layer of water on the bottom of the pan that has the ham in it. Cover entire pans with foil keep checking the water levels in the pans. I don't think it is going to brown like it does in the oven. But I have made whole turkeys like this and they are really tender. Good luck

Answer 4

Heres what I did recently....I used my bfs electric skillet that has a huge lid that was big enough to cover the ham. I still covered it in foil and did it right there...it was ffreakin amazing! You can do it on the stove if you have a lid big enough to cover that fella, otherwise weight on the oven! You can always improvise, if you have your resources down. Oh and my guess is you dont have a lid that big to completely ensurface your ham...so wait

Answer 5

It's a fully cooked ham, it doesn't need to be cooked, just re-heated
The easiest way to do that is to pre slice the ham
Make the classic apple cider and raisin sauce
Using a baking dish place the slices in the hot sauce, arrange attractively garnish and serve
problem solved.

Answer 6

Your best bet would be wait. Who cooks a ham on the stove ?

Answer 7

I dont think you can do that. Because in an oven the heat comes from the top and the bottom, but in a pot the heat comes from the bottom only.

Answer 8

Well I don't think it would turn out like it was in the oven.Don't risk it!

Answer 9

then you would be boiling it, it wont be crisp on the outside
