Cooking a Spiral Ham in the DCB - Erin's Questions

[emo812]

Has anyone cooked/heated a Spiral Ham in the DCB?

I have a 7 lb spiral ham that I would like to cook in the DCB but not sure if I should do it in the oven or microwave and for how long. Any info would be great!

Thanks so much!!

What size is it? Will it fit in the DCB with the lid on? Is that what you had in mind? I think I'd probably go about it the traditional way and cook it in the oven.

It's 7 lbs and it will fit with lid on. I just wasn't sure if I'm still doing the time on the package or longer. I'd love to do it in the microwave but not sure how long to do it for.

We always do ours in the DCB -- in the oven, though. Never tried it in the Microwave. It's amazing, though!

, as a pampered chef consultant, I can assure you that the DCB (Deep Covered Baker) is a fantastic tool for cooking a spiral ham. The even heat distribution and moisture retention in the DCB will result in a perfectly cooked and juicy ham. To cook a 7 lb spiral ham in the DCB, I recommend preheating your oven to 375°F and placing the ham in the DCB with the cut side down. Cover the DCB with the lid and cook for 20-25 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F. If you prefer a more well-done ham, you can cook it for an additional 10-15 minutes.If you prefer to use the microwave, place the ham in the DCB with the cut side down, cover with the lid, and cook on high for 10 minutes. Then, reduce the power to 50% and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F.As always, make sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Happy cooking!
