Instant Pot Ham
Report
Juicy and tender Instant Pot Ham with brown sugar, honey, and pineapple glaze takes 10 minutes to prep and 5 minutes to cook!
Share:
Ingredients
- 4.5-5 lbs spiral ham boneless
- 1 1/2 cups water
Glaze:
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup crushed pineapple with juices
- Zest of 1 orange
- Juice of 1 orange
For Broiling (optional):
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar packed
Instructions
- Add water to the Instant Pot.
- Place a trivet with handles inside the pot.
- Create a small boat out of foil, and place the ham in it.
- In a small bowl, mix all the glaze ingredients. Use about 2/3 to brush and add between the ham slices.
- Transfer the ham to the Instant Pot and pour the remaining glaze on top.
- Close and lock the lid and cook on High Pressure for 5 minutes (see blog post for cooking time based on weight of the ham), followed by 10 minutes Natural Pressure Release
For Broiling (optional):
- Transfer the ham to a baking pan, still inside the foil boat.
- Top with the remaining honey and brown sugar glaze and broil for about 5 minutes, just until crispy.
- Remove from oven and serve hot.
Notes
- My recipe calls for a 4.5-pound spiral-cut boneless precooked ham. Pressure cooking makes it juicy and tender in just 5 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of natural pressure release.
- For bone-in ham, add another three minutes to each. It may also take a little longer if it is unsliced. Cooking raw ham is a whole other story. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes per pound, depending on whether it is boneless or not. It has to reach 145 degrees F before serving.
- 3 pounds: 4 minutes of pressure cooking on High and 10 minutes NPR
- 5 pounds: 5 minutes of pressure cooking on High and 10 minutes NPR
- 6 pounds: 6-7 minutes of pressure cooking on High and 10 minutes NPR
- 7 pounds: 8-10 minutes of pressure cooking on High and 10 minutes NPR
- 8 pounds: 10-12 minutes of pressure cooking on High and 10 minutes NPR
- Spread more honey and brown sugar on the ham and broil it for a few minutes afterward for a crispy coating.
- Spiral-cut hams cook faster, but they may dry out. To avoid this problem, be sure to have enough liquid in the pot. You can even loosely cover the top with foil.
- Use a trivet to place the ham on so it does not get soggy.
- Use an eight-ounce instant pot if the ham is larger than six pounds.
- Make sure not to overcook or undercook the ham. Follow the instructions in my Expert Tip above.
