Ham In Instant Pot Recipes

INSTANT POT SCALLOPED POTATOES AND HAM

Steps:

• Start by washing, peeling, and slicing your potatoes to 1/4 inch thick. I recommend using a mandoline.
• Once potatoes are thinly sliced toss them into the Instant Pot. Add in your diced ham, parsley, garlic, onion, salt, chicken stock, and place lid on the Instant Pot.
• Make sure the valve is set to sealing and do high pressure/manual for 1 minute. Once the timer goes off do a quick release.
• Remove all your potatoes and ham and place them in your baking dish. Make sure to leave all the liquid in the Instant Pot. This will be the base of your creamy cheesy sauce.
• Now you will turn your Instant Pot to saute and add in your heavy cream and shredded Monterey jack cheese. You need to stir constantly so it doesn't burn.
• Once the cheese is fully mixed and melted, go ahead and mix up your cornstarch and tablespoon of cold water. Then pour that in and again continuously stir. This will thicken the sauce.
• When the sauce is thick, pour over the potatoes and ham. Then gently stir the mixture to cover the potatoes and ham.
• Top with 1/2 cup Monterey jack cheese and then place your mixture in a preheated oven and broil on high. Cook anywhere 3-5 minutes until it becomes golden brown on the top.
• Remove from the oven, top with fresh parsley, and serve.

INSTANT POT HAM

Steps:

• 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 ham lbs), followed by 10 minutes Natural Pressure Release.

INSTANT POT HAM WITH BROWN SUGAR AND PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Place ham into the instant pot, skin side up.
• Add pineapple, honey and brown sugar.
• Close the instant pot and seal the lid. Close the pressure release valve. Set the instant pot to manual, high pressure for 8 minutes. When cooking cycle is done, quick release the pressure and open the lid.
• Slice ham before serving and serve with pineapple and juice.

INSTANT POT HAM

Steps:

• Combine and mix the pineapple juice, honey, brown sugar, mustard, and cloves thoroughly together in a medium mixing bowl.
• Place the ham, flat side down in the bottom of your Instant Pot's inner pot.
• Pour the mixed liquids over the ham, allowing the liquids to run over all sides of the ham.
• Close up your Instant Pot (making sure the pressure cooker has it's venting mechanism closed), set your Instant Pot to the and cook according to how long your ham should cook for (See the section below on cook times!)

EASY 3-INGREDIENT INSTANT POT HAM

Steps:

• Place the stainless steel insert pot into the Instant Pot base, along with a steamer insert. Pour in 1 cup of water.
• Lay 2 lengths of heavy duty aluminum foil large enough to wrap most of the ham crossways on the countertop. Set the ham on its side in the center and fold the foil up around it, creating a "bowl" with the top open.
• Place the wrapped ham in the Instant Pot and pour the crushed pineapple over it, tucking some of the pineapple between the ham slices. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top. Lock the lid on top of the Instant Pot and make sure the steam release knob is turned to "sealing".
• Press the Manual (Pressure Cook for the new IP-DUO60) button on the front. High pressure should automatically be selected, but if it's not for some reason, press the Pressure button to toggle it to high.
• Use the plus or minus buttons to set the cook time to 1.5 minutes per pound of ham (example: 9 minutes for a 6-lb. ham). Wait a few seconds and you should hear a beep. At this point, the display will read "on", indicating that the Instant Pot is pressuring up. Once it comes to pressure (about 9-10 minutes), it will switch to the timer to pressure cook the ham for the set time.
• When the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally (NPR) for 5 minutes. Then use a thick towel or a pair of tongs to turn the steam release knob to "venting" to release any remaining pressure. If you've never experienced this before, it can be pretty forceful, so pull your hands away quickly, stand back, and allow the steam to escape.
• Once the pressure is released, remove the lid and transfer the cooked ham to a platter, allowing the juices in the foil bowl to drain back into the Instant Pot insert in the process. A pair of these silicone gloves are ideal for removing it easily.
• To make the pineapple brown sugar glaze (optional): press the Sauté button and then the Adjust button to select "high". Whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water, and then pour it into the water/juice/drippings mixture. Whisk until the glaze thickens, and then pour it over the ham or serve alongside it to drizzle at will.
• Press the Keep Warm/Cancel button to turn the Instant Pot off.

INSTANT POT HAM

Steps:

• Prepare the glaze: Heat the butter and monk fruit sweetener in a small pot over medium low heat until the butter has melted. Whisk in the mustard and garlic until combined. Remove from heat.
• Insert a trivet inside the inner pot of pressure cooker. Pour in 1 cup water.Place ham on the trivet and brush glaze on outside and inside the spirals of the ham.
• Close the lid and press the "manual" or "pressure cook" button and set timer to 9 minutes. The pressure cooker may take 10 minutes to come to pressure. Once cook time has elapsed, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release all the pressure (around 10 minutes).Carefully open the lid and transfer the ham to a cutting board. Serve with any leftover glaze.
• For an extra-caramelized coating - set the oven to broil. Remove the ham from the pressure cooker and place on a foil-lined baking sheet and brush with leftover glaze.Place the ham under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.
• Slice ham and serve.

INSTANT POT® HONEY-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Pour water into the steel basin of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Place the ham, sliced side-down, into the pot.
• Mix brown sugar, honey, mustard, Worcestershire, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves together in a bowl. Pour glaze on top of the ham. Close and lock the lid.
• Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Release any remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Drain liquid from the pot into a bowl and set aside. Allow ham to rest for at least 10 minutes; remove to a platter.
• Select Saute function and add the liquid back into the pot. Cook until reduced to your liking, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour sweet sauce on top of ham slices when serving.

INSTANT POT HAM WITH PINEAPPLE AND BROWN SUGAR

Steps:

• Start by putting the brown sugar at the bottom of your instant pot.
• Add your spiral ham on top of the brown sugar in the instant pot.
• Add the maple syrup and pour over your ham.
• Put the slices of pineapple over and between the ham slices. And pour the pineapple juice in the instant pot.
• Put on the slow cooker setting, low for 5 hours or on high for 2.5 hours. Once the slow cooker is done cooking your ham, take about ¼ cup of the pineapple juice and mix in a separate bowl with your remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Use this mix to glaze your ham with a brush. Serve while hot

INSTANT POT HAM WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Place the trivet in the inner pot along with 1 cup of water (or 1 ½ if using an 8-quart pressure cooker).
• Lay out two long pieces (long enough to go all the way around the ham) of heavy-duty aluminum foil crisscrossed one on top of the other.
• Place the ham on top of the foil in the middle where the two pieces cross.
• In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, mustard, orange zest and juice, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
• Brush and drizzle the glaze onto the ham, gently pulling the slices of meat apart to get some of the glaze down in between the slices. Reserve some of the glaze for later.
• Wrap the top piece of foil around the ham and then wrap the other piece around it. The ham should be completely covered and well wrapped in the foil.
• Place the ham on the trivet in the Instant Pot.
• Cover and seal the pot and pressure cook for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the ham (for 20 minutes for a 5- to 6-pound ham, 25 minutes for a 7-pound ham, 30 minutes for an 8-pound ham.)
• Once the cooking time ends, let the pressure release naturally for 5 to 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler or your oven to 500ºF.
• When you remove the ham from the Instant Pot, place it on a baking sheet and open up the foil.
• Brush, drizzle, or pour the remaining glaze over the top of the ham and put under the broiler or in the oven for about 5 minutes, until the glaze bubbles and thickens.
• Serve immediately.

INSTANT POT® HAM

Steps:

• Place ham on a trivet and set it inside a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pour crushed pineapple over ham. Sprinkle brown sugar and drizzle maple syrup on top. Secure the lid with vent closed.
• Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Remove ham and trivet. Cut ham into slices and place on a plate.
• Select Saute setting on the pressure cooker. Mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Stir mixture into the pot, bring to a boil, and stir until thickened. Pour sauce over the ham.
