Ham is a common holiday staple food, enjoyed all over the world. But if you're on a ketogenic diet, can you still partake? Can you add any condiments to it? Ham in its natural state is perfectly fine on a keto diet.

If your ham is too big for your crock pot, cover the top tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil, making sure it's airtight. Most hams are already fully cooked and can dry out quickly, so you'll want to check it every 30 minutes after the first three hours. If the liquid appears to be evaporating, add some water.

Cover and cook on low for 5-8 hours, until ham is thoroughly heated. If you want to glaze the ham, place on a broiler pan and cover with glaze; broil 10" from the heat for 10-15 minutes, watching carefully, until glaze is cooked. The goal is to reheat the ham without drying it out.

Set the slow cooker to its low setting, and cover the pot. Most hams will reheat in between three and six hours, depending on their size. A three pound ham may take two and a half to three hours whereas a six or seven pound ham may take up to six.

Peanut butter can definitely be part of a keto diet, but it's best to stick to plain options that are free of extra flavors and sweeteners.

Hummus can definitely be part of your keto diet, but just one or two servings can quickly expend a significant portion of your daily carb allotment.

Mushy meat typically is a result of excess tenderizer use.

Reheat in a 325-degree oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 to 140 degrees. You can also place the ham in an oven bag. Figure no more than 10 minutes per pound for reheating. For hams that are fully cooked (again, check the label) and not spiral sliced, first cut off any skin.

Set your crockpot to low and place the ham at the bottom. If you'd like, you can also coat the ham with sugar and spices or cover it with a marinade. No matter if you leave your ham unaltered or add extra flavor, you'll want to let it cook for four to six hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145º.

The goal is to reheat the ham without drying it out. The best way to do this is to place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Add water to the bottom of the pan and cover the whole thing tightly with foil. Bake at 325F for 16-20 minutes per pound, until a meat thermometer registers 135F.
