Easter is just around the corner, and while eggs may or may not be part of your spread (F.Y.I., deviled potatoes make a great, wallet-friendly alternative), many people can’t separate baked ham from the holiday.
If you’re making your own ham this year, kudos to you, and make sure not to transport it in a flimsy tray so you don’t drop like that one time I did in college—and, of course, cut your ham in the best possible manner. A hunk of ham is a sizable piece of meat that requires finesse. Luckily, Honey Baked has a lot of experience with slicing ham (all their hams come pre-sliced, so if you’re ordering one this year, that’s strategic) and knows exactly what to do.

Here’s the best way to do it, according to the experts:
How to Cook Ham
The quintessential way to cook a ham is in the oven. Easter ham is traditionally made with brown sugar glaze or pineapple, but you can also switch things up and try an orange or cola glaze.
For a simple, two-ingredient ham that everyone will love, try our Slow Cooker Ham recipe—all you need is a bone-in ham, brown sugar, and patience. You can also glaze a pre-cooked ham in your Instant Pot.
