Content: 1. In a Conventional Oven
Your trusty oven works wonders when it comes to cooking just about anything, even a frozen ham. Heat your oven to 325°, then carefully place the ham in a roasting pan with an inch of water inside. Calculate the time needed for your ham to cook in the oven based on its weight. The rule of thumb is to cook for 18 to 20 minutes per pound. No matter which method you choose, the USDA advises an internal temperature of at least 140° for pre-cooked hams that had been in their original packaging, 145° for uncooked ham, and 165° for leftover ham or meat that’s been re-packaged. And if you don’t already have one, here’s why you absolutely need a meat thermometer. 2. In a Slow Cooker
If you decide to cook your ham in a slow cooker—and you have a Crock-Pot large enough to fit it —cook it on the low setting for at least 6 to 8 hours. If you’re working with a larger frozen ham, you may need to allow up to 12 hours for it to fully cook. (
