what happens if I don’t use tin foil?
The foil helps lift up the ham a bit for the juices to run to, and helps you remove it from the crock.
one question do I line the crockpot with the foil r u foil on the bottom to keep it off the bottom
Put the foil on the bottom, to help keep it off the bottom of the crock and give the ham juice somewhere to run to.
What if there is a bone in the ham? Can you still do this?
Sure, you’ll just want to make sure you can fit it in your crock, as it can’t easily be slimmed down.
What if the ham is fully cooked already? Does it still take 6 + hrs.?
You could probably get away with 3-4 hours if you are just needing to warm the ham through. The meat would probably take at least a couple hours to get warm and then another hour or two to get warm all the way to the middle.
