I have a bone-in 10 lb. ham that's fully cooked, but will need to be heated for Christmas dinner.  I'd like to heat it in my slow cooker, but don't know how long I should do it.  The instructions for cooking in a conventional oven says 10 to 15 min/lb.  Also, because it a tad bigger than the slow cooker, the cover doesn't fit snuggly.  I was thinking of covering the slow cooker tightly with foil.  Would that be OK.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Not in your slow cooker. Follow directions.

I usually buy Honey Baked Hams and the directions say to serve it at room temperature, so I just put it on a platter and let it sit out a little before I serve it.  If you really want it to be hot, I would either put it in the over but for only a short time, maybe 10 minutes or heat it in the microwave for a few minutes.  I would never put it in a slow cooker, it's already cooked.

To be at its best, a ham should be heated/warmed enough for the fat in it to start running and making it jucy.  I would put something else in the crock pot and the ham in the oven.  Heat/bake the rolls after the ham comes out and they wil be done as you carve it.

I'd cook it in the oven like the directions say.

Sorry, I agree! Follow directions on package, you won't be sorry.

I will forget the slow cooker and reheat the ham in the oven according to the instructions.  Thanks, everyone and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

I would do it according to instructions in the oven and then if you want to keep it warm you could put it in your crockpot on warm.

I have put my ham in my crockpot.  It usually is too big and i cover it tightly with heavy duty aluminum foil.  I usually put it on low for 2 hours.  I cover the top with the glaze that comes with or make my own with brown sugar and mustard just tll pasty.  One suggestion tho..do not buy a spiral cut ham if youre going to put it in the crockpot, it will fall apart.  Also this will be moist.  it is very delicious this way tho

Not to pile-on, but I agree with the others that, if there is any way possible, I'd put it in the oven.

Hope it comes out great, whatever you decide.  That's a big on!     I have one that I just pulled out of the freezer and it's 7-something pounds.  That's about all I can handle.  hehe

I often make a huge pot of split pea soup with the bone and some of the ham left on it.  Another favorite for me is a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. For this I enjoy either Swiss cheese or Monterey Jack.  I just had one last night, actually, from some I had packaged (vac sealed of course) from the last ham I made.  yum!
