Cooking a bone-in ham is a culinary technique that involves preparing a whole or half ham with the bone still intact. This method of cooking helps retain the ham’s natural juices and flavor, resulting in a succulent and tender dish.
The process typically involves preheating an oven to a specific temperature, placing the ham on a roasting rack set in a baking pan, and cooking for a predetermined amount of time. The ham is often basted with a flavorful liquid, such as a glaze or sauce, throughout the cooking process to enhance its taste and appearance.
