How do you warm ham in a crock pot?

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.
