To cook a ham shank, you typically need enough water to cover the meat. Generally, this means adding about 4 to 6 cups of water, depending on the size of the shank and the pot. The water should be at least an inch above the shank to ensure even cooking. Adjust as necessary based on the specific recipe and your pot size.
Ready to cook means that the ham has already been partially cooked, but still needs to cook before eating. If a ham shank is "Ready to Eat" this means that the ham is fully cooked and can be eaten right out of the package.
Put the shank into a large saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil, turn heat down so water is simmering, skim of any scum from the surface, simmer for about 2 hours, top up water to make sure it always covers the shank. Leave the shank in the water to cool.

I just cooked a cooks shank ham last night and it was gross. It's just about all fat with lots of tendon layers. Ive heard that the butt is fatty too. I will never make a shank again. Use spiral ham or a whole boneless ham for casseroles. If you cook the whole boneless ham for about 3 hours at 325, it will give your casseroles a better flavor and it wont be as chewy.
Yes, but as it must be done with plenty of water the result will basically be a boiled ham. This will remove much of the flavorings you paid for when you bought the ham.
If the ham is already 'cooked' then you do not need to cook it again, you can slice it and eat cold with salad or in a sandwich, or you can warm it through and eat with fried eggs, or my favourite is with boiled new potatoes and parsley sauce.

The best way to cook smoked ham in a crock pot is to pour water, about 1" to 2" deep, in the crock pot, then place the ham in the pot. It depends on whether your ham is sliced or whole as to how long you should cook it. For sliced ham, you can cook it 4 to 6 hours; for whole ham, cook it 6 to 8 hours. Note: Adding kale, cabbage or green beans really makes for a savory meal.
