I have a smoked ham (completely precooked), and I'm looking for ideas of what to do with it for supper. Any suggestions?

ephedyn said:What are the parameters?
NeoDevin said:1 ham, 1 home-made teriyaki sauce, 1 oven.
Edit: Actually I guess it's 8 x 0.125 ham, to be more accurate, since I sliced it first so it would heat faster.

wolram said:Set oven to max, put in ham and bake for about 8 hrs, best done if you have an engagement that day.

It takes a little work, but it's really good.

TheStatutoryApe said:That sounds dangerously like it could wind up too salty. Apparently it turned out well though. Maybe add some pineapple and serve with white rice... mmm trying to think of a good veggie to go with it...
WhoWee said:Use a dry spice rub (your choice) and slow cook it on a rotisserie. As the outside crisps...trim off thin pieces and apply additional spice to fresh cut surface to taste.
It takes a while...but well worth the effort...if you want something different.
Cooking a smoked ham is simple and can be done in the oven, on the stovetop, or even in a slow cooker. The most common method is to bake the ham in the oven at 325°F for 15-20 minutes per pound. However, you can also boil or roast it on the stovetop or use a slow cooker for a more hands-off approach. Just make sure to check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 145°F before serving.
Smoked ham pairs well with a variety of side dishes, including mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, green beans, corn on the cob, mac and cheese, and even a simple salad. You can also incorporate the ham into a casserole or use it to make a delicious sandwich.
Yes, you can use a glaze on your smoked ham to add flavor and a nice caramelized finish. There are many different glaze recipes available, but some popular options include honey mustard, brown sugar and pineapple, and maple and Dijon mustard. Just make sure to baste the ham with the glaze during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
To store leftover smoked ham, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator. It can be stored for up to 3-4 days. If you have more ham than you can eat in that time frame, you can also freeze it for up to 2-3 months. Just make sure to thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.
There are many delicious ways to use leftover smoked ham. You can chop it up and add it to omelets or frittatas for breakfast, use it to top a homemade pizza, make a ham and cheese quiche, or add it to soups or stews for a hearty meal. You can also use it to make sandwiches or wraps for an easy and tasty lunch option.
