My ham has been in the oven for 2 hours and the core temperature is only 70... I don't think it will be ready when "dinner" starts in an hour and a half...

To be fair, this is the first time I've cooked holiday food in my own oven in my own residence... I've never cooked a ham this big before.

Just use the replicator, Miles.

And offend me dear old ma? She never believed in using replicators.

Miles, Molly is hungry.

Usually the hams you get at the store are already cooked (check to be sure) and you just want it hot. That should give you a little wiggle room there! Whereas a pulled pork or something needs to be brought up to temperature to be technically edible, then held at that temperature for a while so it can be delicious

It is precooked, and it's made it up to 120! 25 more to go and it'll be ready to serve, and food got pushed back anyway, so there's still hope.

TL;DR A pre-cooked 10-pound ham, bone-in will need about 2 1/2 hours.

At this point I'm just going to assume the core was still slightly frozen or close to it when I put it in. I left it to thaw for several days in the refrigerator...

Ah well, a learning experience for next year.

You live and you learn!

Maybe practice with a ham during the year to figure cook times out :)

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
