How do you bake a ham in less then 5 hours?

Question

I need to find out how to bake a ham in less than 5 hours because tommorows christmas dinner and i want to eat fast and so do my family.

Answer 1

whenever i'm cooking a ham and i want it to cook fast,i use 'reynolds oven bags'.you can still glaze it if you like,and it cooks really fast and it's makes it nice and tender.

Answer 2

A ham is already cooked. So you dont' really have to cook it for long; you just want to heat it up. An hour or two ought to do you.

Unless you want to glaze it, then look at these recipes......

Best Glazed Ham

1 (10 lb.) cured ham, bone-in

Glaze:
1½ c. brown sugar
3 tsp. spicy brown honey mustard
1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple with juice
4 dashes Tabasco
1 tsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. fresh sliced ginger
hand full of cloves

Soak ham in water for 2-3 hours changing water every 45 minutes. Pat dry. Place ham cut side down in large roasting pan. Score ham in X’s w/ sharp knife, and place whole cloves in scored corners. Place all glaze ingredients into blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Gently and slowly pour glaze over ham, making sure it is totally glazed. Bake 4 hours at 300ºF.. Tent with foil if browning too quickly during last hour.

Answer 3

A ham should not have to cook more than an hour to two hours. If you have a really big ham, you could always cut the ham up into slices and place in pan covered with aluminum foil and bake.

Answer 4

Is it already cooked? Then all you are doing is heating it up.

Answer 5

precooked
