Recommended Tools & Appliances

AI Pick

Roasting Pan

A sturdy roasting pan with a rack is essential for keeping the ham elevated to ensure even heat circulation and better glaze caramelization.

Pastry Brush

A high-quality silicone pastry brush allows for easy and even distribution of the sticky honey glaze across all surfaces and into the diamond cuts of the ham.

Meat Thermometer

An instant-read meat thermometer is critical for monitoring the internal temperature to ensure the ham is heated perfectly without drying it out.

Whisk

Whisk

A wire whisk helps efficiently emulsify the honey, mustard, and pineapple juice into a smooth, consistent glaze that adheres well to the meat.
