Instant Pot

Below are the suggested times based on ham weight:

3 lbs. – 4 minutes

4 lbs. – 5 minutes

6 lbs. – 6-7 minutes

7 lbs. – 8-10 minutes

8 lbs. – 10-12 minutes

If you want to use bone-in ham, then add 3 minutes to each category above. So, for a – lbs. cut, the pressure cooking time would be about 10 minutes.
