Tips for Making Slow Cooker Ham
- Make sure the ham will fit in your slow cooker – If the ham is too large to fit into your slow cooker, you can trim off excess portions to make it fit.
- Consider using a slow cooker liner – Since many ham glazes feature sticky ingredients like brown sugar, maple syrup, and pineapple juice, using a slow cooker liner will make cleanup much easier.

- Baste the ham as it cooks - It might seem unnecessary, but basting is important for keeping the meat moist. It also helps with flavor, since a lot of the glaze will sit in the bottom of the slow cooker if you don’t baste it.
- Make sure it’s done! – You will need a meat thermometer when cooking ham. If using a precooked ham, the temperature must reach 140 degrees F. For ham that isn’t precooked, it has to reach 145 degrees F.
