Don't Over Prep or Overthink Cooking a Ham

What kind? Whole ham (bone in) really is my favorite next day ham fried in the morning for eggs and hashbrowns. Butt end or Shank end? I guess it depends on what kind of fatness you are seeking. I agree plain and simple works the best.

All ham is good, because it's pork. Doesn't matter the cut, but bone in is always tastier. Don't forget about those few little bites of sweet bone marrow. The best thing about leftover ham, is the mustard and lettuce sammiches the following days.

Coca-cola

No joke

Save that ham bone for a pot of red beans.

they basically cook themselves.

I knew a guy that put his ham in the slow cooker over night "to make it tender like bbq"

It was a laughable mess that tasted like shit.

Most people don't realize that your average store bought ham is already cooked.

made Pernil - Puerto Rican recipe - for first time - WOW!

Sounds like even if someone bought a raw, uncured ham. Then put it in a crock pot over night, it'd turn into an unrecognizable mess of gloop anyways.

A smoked ham is best IMHO.

We make ham pineapple cheese crepes, u just dice the ham up, fry it with pineapple a minute, cheese, in a crepe...ummmmm

Sounds delicious.

A ham bone makes absolutely heavenly soup also. Very nourishing.

I don't... usually the special recipe marinade I use takes care of the little porkers...

A honey glazed smoked ham is truly delicious.

Dr Pepper Glaze. Doesn't get better than that.
