certainly defrosted thoroughly if frozen
if just cold then fine

if salty ham place in large pan of water for 12-24 hours before cooking and change water for fresh tap water every 8 hours or so. The salt leaches out of the ham into the water so when you cook the ham the meat is no longer as salty as it could have been.

What do you do if a cake is cooking only at the top?

If a cake is cooking only on the top, it may be that the oven is set on "broil" instead of on "bake," or that the bottom element of the oven may be broken. Another possibility is that the cake simply has not baked long enough to be "done" throughout. If the oven is set at too high a temperature, the top of the cake might scorch before the interior is baked. The oven temperature should be tested with an oven thermometer to determine whether the temperature setting is accurate.


Broil vs bake?

The difference between broiling vs. baking is that in baking you are cooking something by surrounding it with heat in the oven. When you broil, you are quickly cooking something with infrared heat.
