Tenderizers make meats, and I'm limiting my answer to red meats and not fish, more tender primarily by weakening the protein fibers making the meat come apart more easily when it is being chewed.

Generally speaking, most spiral hams are either pre-cooked or cured (which is another method of cooking) so for the most part, all you need to do is reheat the meat. Nothing says it absolutely has to be roasted, as long as its been cooked or cured previously, and even then, you could always smoke it on the barbecue if you wanted. If its been cooked or cured, you could slice portions off the bone and saute them, you could serve them cold as part of a food platter, add pieces of ham to soup or stocks, you could even grill it, if you wanted.

It is a sweet, starchy vegetable that is normally eaten raw. if you wish to cook it, I would start simple, by baking it like a sweet potato. Taste, test, and see for yourself. These are the experiences that lead a cook to become a chef. Try it out. Boil it. I just believe you should taste it raw before you begin your journey to know the vibrancy and juiciness of this wonderful item before cooked. Then use a cooking technique that suits your tastes, I believe if you bake it wrapped in foil, like a sweet potato it may caramelize the sugars and produce an awesome end result.
