Trust the Thermometer, Not the Clock
Ovens lie. Thermometers don’t. Buy a good one. It costs less than a bottle of wine. Worth it.
If you forget to set a timer, no problem. Just smell the air. When it smells like heaven, check the temp.
Cooking time for ham is a guideline, not a prison sentence. You are the boss. You decide when it’s ready.
Ham Is Party Food. Act Like It.
Don’t overthink this. Ham is supposed to be fun. It’s salty. It’s sweet. It’s pink and glorious.
Crack open a cold drink. Put on some music. Dance while you glaze.
And when someone asks, “How long did you cook that?” Just smile. Say, “The perfect amount of time.” They’ll never know.
