Time to complete your Christmas shopping with the purchase of your holiday ham. Below you will find a list of stores throughout Michigan and what they have to offer in terms of price and selection of hams. I typically go for a shank portion bone-in ham. The cheapest deal I saw is at ALDI where you can get a shank portion ham for 99 cents a pound.

What I Use When I Bake A Ham
Here are some tools that I use whenever I am baking a ham.
1. Roasting Pan - You need something big to bake your ham in and a roasting pan is the perfect vessel. I don't recommend not stick in this case as I always find that I still end up with burnt sugar in the bottom from my glaze. It's harder to clean a non-stick pan without scratching it and ruining the non stick. So just go with an stainless steel that you can scrub easier.
2. Electric Knife - Makes carving the ham a whole lot easier. You don't need something expense here. A cheap one works just fine.
3. Probe thermometer - Even thought hams come cooked most of the time, you still need to heat it up. Don't trust the instructions that came with your hand, trust a probe thermometer to get your ham reheated to the properly temperature. I have had ham that has been overcooked, a dry ham is not something you ever want to experience.
