/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Okay /ck/, I need your help.

I have pre-cooked spiral ham that I have to heat for almost 3 hours at 275, and right after taking it out I'll be baking other shit for 50-60 minutes and then I'll be done with all the cooking and it will be time to eat.

My question to you anons is this: how do I keep my ham warm in that 1 hour time frame?

I was thinking about putting it in the crock pot with some broth on "warm", but I'm worried that will dry it out. Do you guys think that will happen? If so, do you think a better plan instead would be to put the ham in the oven, but for an hour less than planned, and then have it sit in the crock pot for that one hour I'm baking the other stuff?

Thoughts are appreciated.

Meat is expensive. Trying to avoid Soy in mass produced food items. /fit/ isn't a proactive source for food. I'm trying to eat cheap and effectively with eggs and milk in my diet.

Any tips? It costs two dollars for a head of cabbage/lettuce where I live, which is far from any farmland. Researching bean and rice but there's gotta be a better solution.

Eggs, Rice, Beans, Peanut Butter, Honey, Milk, Bread are my main sources of nutrition. 80 cents a banana is eating into the idea so what am I missing here?

18eggs 2.70
Quart Honey/PButter 9.99 ea
Bread .99c
40lb rice 15.99
15lb beans 12.99
galllon milk 2.89
(500 packets of black tea 11.99/gallon of nesquick 9.99 with a electric tea pot boiling water and using 1/5th milk for choco-drank)

While a banana costs 80 cents for a 1/2 pounder.

>tl;dr I'm missing some cheap ideas for food and need ideas
