Almost was a disaster because the head of the household didn't bother to wash his hands before handling the ham after he was picking at his feet.

So next time sterilize the ham as follows....also good for turkeys....

.....if he still has a problem ....use the same technique to clean up his feet.

I stopped it from being a disaster before he could handle the ham with his stinky hands.
I opened the plastic my self and put the ham in the pan and placed it in the oven.
I can't understand why some people even as a adult they still have a problem of people telling them to wash their hands for health reasons before handling food.
This person has a hissy fit every time you tell him to wash his hands before handling food.

Heard that you can actually cook food on a car's exhaust manifold, it's doable, but would have to make a stainless steel box that won't melt that would hold the food in place while you drive.

It's more of a mental factor in this story.
It's not the sterilize factor, I know the oven would take care of any nasties, but ? it's the thought that counts, opps, that's for the non-gift, gifts, .... it's the thought of him picking his feet before he was about to handle food.
Sort of like when people after doing # 2 in the bathroom and don't bother washing their hands and then go ahead and handle food..... would you ? eat that food ? .... nope...
