Cooking a ham??!

you can put it now and let it cook on 350 for about 4 hrs then check it,you can also take it out and slice it and put it back in the oven for another hour or two,Make sure there is plenty of water in the bottom of the pan so it don;t burn.I like to add brown sugar to mine.

I don't think you're going to make it. It will need at least ~6-9 hours to defrost.

You need a plan B.

Your either going to have to go buy one that is not frozen or your going to have to order Pizza. Sorry.

Isn't it an already cooked ham (by being smoked, it's cooked)? If so, put it in the oven now, with some type of broth (beer or ginger ale) and it will be fine.

350 degrees, and covered.

I think you can still pull it off...... put it in a 300 degree over for about an hour to start the defrosting process and soften the skin. Take it out of the oven,allow to cool some, then put some yellow mustard on it rub it into the skin and top it off with brown sugar you rub into the mustard. Cover tightly with foil, return to the oven in a roasting pan you have lined with foil to make clean up easy and bake at 350 degrees for 3 hrs

Put your ham wrapped in a freezer bag in tepid water now. Not hot water, not cold water....let the ham sit in the water until about 4, stick in in the oven @ 350 till it's heated through (150 degrees in the center) throw some glaze on it for the last 10 minutes...then remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 mins before slicing. Hope is not lost...

1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
2 c. maple syrup
1/2 c. cider vinegar
3 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 1/2 tbsp. Colman's dry mustard
1 tsp. black pepper

Mix all ingredients in a small saucepan and reduce until about 1c of mixture remains. Serve any remaining on the side.

I cook my hams frozen all the time. Preheat oven to about 300 degrees, place ham in roasting pan, season how you like (my family likes it when I pour a cola over the ham, then pat in lots of brown sugar), cover with heavy duty foil, and cook for about 6 - 8 hours. The ham is smoked, so it's basically already cooked.
