How Do You Cook a Ham in a Crock Pot?

It’s actually so simple to heat a precooked ham in a crock pot!  You’ll just score the top, pour the glaze mixture over the ham, and cook it on HIGH for 2 hours, or LOW for 4 hours.  Talk about EASY!

How Do You Cook a Ham So It Doesn’t Dry Out?

Well, there are a few key things in this recipe that will make your ham turn out perfectly juicy… every time!

  • First, you’ll be using your slow cooker to cook it nice and slow so it doesn’t dry out.
  • Then, the scoring on the top will allow the delicious glaze to soak in to every nook and cranny of each piece.
  • Finally, while your ham is cooking in the crockpot, you’ll periodically scoop up that delicious brown sugar syrupy glaze and brush or pour it over the top and sides of the ham, so it stays moist while cooking.
