How to Cook Ham in a Roaster Oven (Moist Glazed Ham!)
Cooking our holiday Ham in a Roaster is the easiest way to get crazy-good flavor and a super moist ham! After years of making ham, we've found that the enclosed roaster oven is the secret to keeping it moist without making it wet, while a sticky glaze adds layers of flavor. But best of all, it frees up the oven for all those side dishes!

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 spiral sliced ham (pre-cooked)
1 recipe ham glaze (choose one!)
- 1 recipe pineapple ham glaze homemade or packet
- 1 recipe rum ham glaze
- 1 recipe 3 ingredient ham glaze
Instructions
- Spray disposable pan with cooking spray. Add ham, flat side or face down. I find it easier to get flavor throughout if it is set on the flatter side, still leaving the face exposed. See pictures in post.1 spiral sliced ham
- Brush the entire outside of the ham with half of the glaze. Gently let it drip in between the slices. Don't pull the slices apart too far or it won't have the tight spiral look.1 recipe pineapple ham glaze
- Set the rack that comes with the roaster in the bottom of the roaster. Set the disposable pan on it. Cover with the lid then set the roaster to 250°. Cook covered for 12-15 minutes per pound until warmed through to an internal temperature at 140-145°.
- Once warm, pour off any accumulated juices. Then brush with remaining glaze, turn off the roaster, and allow to sit for 20 minutes, covered.
- Optional, but recommended: Place disposable pan in the oven (carefully support the bottom of the pan) on the middle rack and broil the ham for 5-10 minutes until golden and crispy like a honey baked ham. Watch it carefully to be sure it doesn't burn. In order to caramelize evenly the ham needs to be rotated and moved side to side every minute or two. Alternatively, use a food torch to caramelize all the edges. Enjoy!
