Knowing When a Christmas Ham is Baked

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to cook a ham. Alright, so it's been three hours. I went ahead and well actually I should back up. It had been in there half an hour. At the end of that half an hour mark, I went ahead and killed the oven. It's been three hours now. I peeked in there in my oven real quick at the end of the three hour mark and checked. I still got plenty of water in there. So then I turned the oven back up to five hundred degrees and I let it go for thirty-five minutes or for thirty minutes. That extra five minutes takes care of that like the preheating kind of thing. Also the fact that I opened the oven up. So what we're going to do now is we're going to set our timer for, I've set mine for half an hour and we're going to let it go. And at the end of that half an hour we kill the heat again for another three hours. At the end of that, that's when the ham should be done. Like I said, you don't have to worry about anything like food poisoning or anything, because the oven stays plenty, plenty hot. It's never an issue. The oven, the temperature of the water, the pan and the ham never dip below one hundred and forty-five the whole time you do this. So that's not a concern here and it's like I said, it's been my half an hour or actually only half an hour right now when my timer goes off. I'm going to kill the heat and we're going to go for another three hours. So that being said, I guess I'm going to see you in three hours. "
