How to Make Cooking A Pre Cooked Ham In The Crock Pot

  1. Preheat your slow cooker.
  2. Score the surface of the ham: Lightly cut the surface in a diamond or criss-cross pattern (about 1/4 inch deep). This helps the glaze penetrate and enhances the visual appeal.
  3. Trim excess fat or skin from the ham (if necessary) to ensure it fits comfortably in your slow cooker.
  4. Wrap the ham tightly in a single piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Ensure the foil is completely sealed to trap the moisture.
  5. Place the ham, cut-side down, into the slow cooker.
  6. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
  7. Carefully remove the foil from the ham. Place the ham on a cutting board and drain off any excess juices.
  8. Brush the ham generously with your favorite glaze (see glaze suggestions below).
  9. Return the glazed ham to the slow cooker. Cook on low for an additional 30-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 150-160°F (66-71°C).
  10. Remove the ham from the slow cooker and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
