How Long Does it Take to Make Instant Pot Honey Mustard Ham?

The exact time to cook a mustard ham in the instant pot can vary depending on the size of your ham and your Instant Pot. 

But using an Instant Pot means you can have your ham ready way quicker than with an oven. That’s one of the best things about this recipe!

For an 8-10 pound ham (which is about as big as will fit in your pot) it should take about 10 minutes on high pressure.

Don’t forget that doesn’t include the time it takes to build up the pressure so plan accordingly.

Then you’ll do a quick release of the pressure so don’t worry about that time.

 

 

Do I Use a Bone in or Boneless Ham for an Instant Pot Honey Mustard Ham?

Either type of ham can work, but for this instant pot recipe, we’re using a boneless spiral cut ham. 

The spiral cut makes it super easy to serve and eat.

Bone-in ham actually takes longer to cook so if you are cooking that, you may need to add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

You’ll know when your ham is done if it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees.

How to Store Leftover Honey Mustard Ham

Storing leftover ham from your holiday table is a breeze.

Just pop it in an airtight container and put it in the fridge. You can enjoy the ham for several days.

I recommend waiting until the ham has cooled to room temperature before transferring.

Don’t store it at room temperature though as meat should always be kept cool when storing.

 

 

How to Reheat Leftover Honey Mustard Ham

Reheating this perfect ham is easy. Just wrap it in aluminum foil and warm it up in the oven.

If you are just reheating a small piece you can also reheat it in the microwave.

Just be careful not to recook! Because then your meat will be dry. You just needed heated through, not cooked again.

Can I Freeze Honey Mustard Ham?

Absolutely! Wrap it in aluminum foil, then put it in a freezer bag. You can freeze it for up to two months.

This makes it great for Christmas or Easter. When you’re busy with the holidays, it’s great to just pull out your ham you’ve already made!

This is a delicious and easy way to make a special ham in your Instant Pot. Your whole family is sure to love it. 

This Instant Pot Ham Recipe is perfect for holiday dinners or just a cozy family dinner. So why wait? Give it a try and enjoy your juicy, flavorful honey mustard ham!
