FAST HELP PLEASE!!!! I am cooking for 10-12 people - need to make something in 2-3 hours!?

Question

I thawed out a ham to make but it says it is expired (it was frozen for a year -it says only to freeze it 3 months!!!) I am supposed to have lunch at 2 and it is 9am. WHAT COOKS THE FASTEST!?!!! Can I buy a ham at the store? Will it cook in time? Will it be frozen too??? HELP!!! FAST!

OK - how long would a turkey or ham from the store take to roast if i go get it now? Is it frozen there? Also - I am having people bring veggies and some rice cassarole as sides... so I can't do like chili or stew (sorry for not adding that).

Answer 1

ok firdt thing is be calm......you canbuy a ham at the store. they are ususally not frozen. if you take the time to run to store and buy one you'll be ok. the extra time that it would've taken to cook frozen will be used at store, so your time constaints are still ok. if you do ham, let me know how you do yours. we usually open a can of beer and pour over. use the juice to baste during cooking. best of luck on your dinner. remember that you can fancy up canned yams by adding some o.j and brown sugar, then mashing, return to oven to heat, topp with some marshmallows. put under broiler just until melty and lightly golden

Answer 2

Split the ham in half, crank up the oven to 425, put the ham in a foil lined pan and put the ham in the oven covered with foil.

Hams are cured so it should be just fine.

Then thin slice it for the platter when it is done. Since others are bringing the side dishes, you should be just fine and dandy. Some pineapple slices grilled for decoration will look great.

Have a great dinner.

Do a nice table while it bakes and you will come out just fine.

Hey Toni!

Know that Pampanga's Best tocino? It's ready to cook barbecue. Allow 100 grams per person or double if they are heavy eaters. Just cut it up into barbecue sizes and skewer using barbecue sticks.

Since they are sweet, "sawsawan" of crushed garlic, vinegar and patis is best. divide this into two and put in chopped chilli in the other half for those who like it hot.

Answer 4

You don't have time to cook anything, Buy rotisserie chickens from the grocery store and serve with salsa, sliced lettuce, cheese, sour cream, sliced tomatoes, refried beans and tortillas for build your own tacos, along with loads of corn chips. Get a cake from the deli for dessert.

Answer 5

Why not buy a turkey or 2 to roast instead?

Ready made Ham.

I THINK YOU SHOULD BUY READY COOKED HAM. ALL HAMS FOUND IN THE SUPERMARKET ARE ALREADY COOKED.

Answer 7

Just use the HAM !!! As long as you cook it well it will be fine. Hams hang around for ages in Mediterranean kitchens without being in deep freeze.
