In reply to Hall Penney. You can create a rack by cutting a long piece of aluminum foil, rolling it up, and then coiling it inside like a snake on the bottom of the pot.

My Instant pot does not have a rack. What do I do?

Hi Aimee – that’s a pretty big ham 🙂 I find it’s easier to cut the ham away from the bone while it’s cold and then heat the ham, then it’s ready to plate and serve. Also, the slices on the top and bottom heat up before the middle slices, so if it’s already cut away from the bone, you can switch them around. I like to wrap the ham slices in foil to help keep it from drying out. It will continue to cook on the Keep Warm setting and you can dry it out, so I wouldn’t heat it up more than an hour before serving and don’t heat it until it’s piping hot.

This might save me some sleep….I have an 11lb ham (pre-sliced, bone in) that I will have to cut down a little to put in my IP. How long should I cook it and can it just sit in the IP until we are ready to eat it? I was thinking about cooking it first in the morning.

Hi Margaret – I would cook it for 7 minutes and see if it’s as warm as you’d like.

In reply to Linda Lightner.

Hi Linda – please not the section above HEATING BONELESS SLICED HAM
If you’re making a boneless sliced ham, you can follow this same procedure.

After cooking, note that the top and bottom slices will get hot before the middle slices. If you wish to serve everything at once, after the initial cook time, move the middle slices to the top and bottom of the stack and return to the pressure cooker. Cook at High Pressure for a few minutes more.

However, I often find that I have enough ham warmed to serve each family member a slice, so I’ll take out the top and bottom slices to enjoy first, then return just the middle to pressure cook so it’s ready when people want seconds. 😊

This was great! I cooked the same ham I cooked last year, pre-sliced, boneless, and hubby raved about it several times, said it was the best ever. Well, alrighty! That worked, exactly what you said to do, so thanks! I’m a brand new Instant Pot user and this was a real success.
