Nesco Honey Baked Cola Ham

Last Updated on April 9, 2022

The Nesco makes a great Honey Baked ham, whether you’re just warming one up from their store, or making your own. I hope you’ll try my Nesco Honey Baked Cola ham.

Merry Christmas to all! I make a ham on Christmas so I can have Hoppin’ John on New Year’s Day. I also like to make quiche and or save the bone for pea soup.

No one can stand a ham that is all dried out. Thank goodness for the Nesco which keeps your ham nice and moist. I had heard that Coke-a-cola made for a really moist ham, so I decided to try it. Who doesn’t like Honey Baked ham glaze? I wanted to make a glaze with similar properties, and I was able to do that with the help of a little coffee. Yes, coffee!

Ham Cooking Chart

Be mindful of cooking times with your ham. An overcooked ham, even in a Nesco will be dried out and not very appealing. For best results, use an instant-read thermometer and put it in the thickest part of the ham not touching the bone.

If you prefer a less sweet ham, and really love garlic, you might like my Garlic-Studded Ham with Cherry Glaze. I like both of these wonderful hams.

Garlic Studded Ham with Cherry Glaze in the Nesco

Garlic Studded Ham with Cherry Glaze, sprinkled with black pepper is perfect for your holiday ham. The Nesco roaster leaves it moist.

Freshly grated nutmeg is preferred and you will be glad you have it for many other dishes. I can’t recommend Penzey’s whole nutmeg more.

How long do you cook a ham in an electric roaster?

Turn on your electric roaster to 275 degrees F. Set the thermometer to alert you when the ham reaches 140 degrees F. Once the oven reaches 275 degrees, the ham will take 15-20 minutes per pound to heat through. An eight-pound ham takes just over 2 hours to heat through.

How do you cook a fully cooked ham in a Nesco roaster?

To cook a precooked ham in an electric roaster, cut off most of the fat and prepare a glaze to apply twice during the cooking process. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours or until the internal temperature reaches 145 F.

How long does it take to cook a 15 lb ham in a roaster?

Set the roaster to 250º and cook the ham covered for 12-15 minutes per pound, or until ham reaches an internal temperature 140-145 degrees.

How many minutes do you cook a fully cooked ham?

The goal is to reheat the ham without drying it out. The best way to do this is to place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Add water to the bottom of the pan and cover the whole thing tightly with foil. Bake at 325F for 16-20 minutes per pound, until a meat thermometer registers 135F.
